Boundary wall rebuild for Farmfoods

A commercial job for a national retailer. The old boundary wall at the front of the store was down to its footings, with the brickwork around the electrical and telecoms cabinets broken away. We rebuilt it in matching red brick with a brick-on-edge top and left the site clean.

Lintel replaced over an outbuilding door

A surveyor's report flagged the timber lintel over this outbuilding doorway as failed. We propped the opening, took out the old timber and the loose brickwork above it, fitted a new concrete lintel and rebuilt the courses over it, ready for the owner to repaint.

Back yard wall and new concrete base

The old flags were broken up and uneven and the boundary wall was tired. We built a new brick wall beneath the fence panels, tied in at the house, and laid a fresh concrete base across the yard with a fall to the drain.

Front entrance steps rebuilt

The old front steps had worn, cracked slabs sitting on crumbling brick. We took them right out and rebuilt them from the ground up in red brick, with fresh paving-slab treads — neat, square and solid down to the path.

New front porch

A new porch on the front of the house. We built the corner pier in a multi-tone brick to blend in with the existing house, laid the blockwork behind it and brought it up to meet the roof.
