Brickwork in Tadley
What the job usually looks like here.
Brickwork in Tadley is mostly a matching exercise and it is one we know well. The estates went up in large phases with brick bought in bulk, so a whole road often shares one facing type — good news, because it is usually identifiable and still made. It also means a poor match is glaring on a uniform terrace rather than lost in the variety. We sample against your wall in daylight before anything is ordered.
The other brickwork we do a lot of in Tadley is garden and retaining walls. The plots on the older estates frequently step, and many of the original boundary walls are now sixty years old with the mortar gone soft and the copings loose. Anything over about 600mm wants a proper footing, and anything holding back ground needs designing rather than eyeballing — a retaining wall that goes over is a serious thing, not a cosmetic one.

Can you match the brick on a Tadley estate house?
Usually, yes. These estates used common facing bricks bought in bulk and most are still made. We take a sample off your wall, match it in daylight and show you before we order. If an exact match is not there we will tell you and talk through the options.
Do you repoint as well as build?
Yes. On a 1960s Tadley house the mortar is cement and repointing is straightforward. On the older cottages around Tadley Common and Baughurst it is lime, and the mix has to stay softer than the brick or the brick faces spall off within a few winters.
