Brickwork Groundworks in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire

Have you ever seen a garden wall that's started to lean or a patio that's uneven after just a couple of winters? Usually, that's down to poor site preparation. Around Stonehouse and the Stroud valleys, the soil can be a bit tricky, and you need a team that knows exactly how deep to dig those footings. We manage the entire process, including the "muck away"—clearing out all that excess soil and rubble so your site stays safe and tidy. From digging trenches for utilities to pouring a solid oversite concrete slab, we ensure your extension base is level, stable, and built to last.

Brickwork is about more than just stacking blocks; it's an art that keeps your home dry and sturdy. Our masons take real pride in their craft, whether they're working on the first-course and plinth of a new extension or building a decorative garden wall. If you live in one of the older properties around Stroud, you might even need lime mortar to help the building "breathe" and prevent damp. We're also experts at repointing—fixing those crumbly mortar joints that let the rain in. For those of us with sloped gardens, we build structural retaining walls designed to resist the pressure of the earth while looking fantastic.

Imagine you've just finished a stunning renovation, only to notice damp patches appearing because the rainwater has nowhere to go. It's a common headache, but one that's easily avoided with the right drainage. We specialise in both foul and surface water systems, ensuring that everything from your new bathroom to your guttering flows exactly where it should. Whether we're installing modern soakaways or connecting your new build to the main sewer line, we make sure the plumbing you can't see works just as perfectly as the parts you can.

Does the thought of building regulations and structural inspections make your head spin? Any major structural work in Gloucestershire needs to be signed off to ensure it's safe and energy-efficient. We arrange the building control inspections needed to make sure every trench is the right depth and every Damp Proof Course (DPC) is installed correctly. We take the stress out of the paperwork, leaving you to focus on the exciting parts of your home improvement project.
