Moore & Son provide professional bricklaying services across Romsey and the wider SO51 postcode area, covering the market town itself and surrounding villages including Timsbury, Braishfield, Ampfield, Awbridge, Lockerley and Mottisfont. Whether you need a garden boundary wall, a new extension, a chimney stack repaired or a garden feature constructed, our team brings the skills and materials knowledge to carry out the work correctly the first time.
Romsey presents a distinctive range of bricklaying challenges. The town has a substantial stock of Victorian and Edwardian properties with original handmade bricks and lime mortar, particularly around the Abbey Quarter and older residential streets. These buildings require sympathetic repair and extension work — using modern cement mortars or mismatched bricks on a period property can cause structural damage and may fall foul of planning requirements in the conservation area. On the newer estates in areas like Abbotswood and Cupernham, brick-and-block cavity wall construction is standard, and matching the brick blend for extensions or repairs requires careful sourcing.
Our approach on every project begins with a free site visit. We assess the existing brickwork, take note of the bond pattern, brick type and mortar composition, and identify any ground or drainage issues that might affect the foundation spec. For projects in or near the Romsey conservation area, we can advise on whether your plans require consent from Test Valley Borough Council and ensure all work is carried out to the standard required. We source bricks from trusted Hampshire suppliers to get the closest possible match to the existing fabric of your property.
Good bricklaying is as much about preparation and material selection as it is about laying. Homeowners should look for clear evidence of mortar compatibility testing on period properties, properly formed perpends and bed joints, and well-struck pointing that sheds water rather than trapping it. Avoid contractors who offer to start work without a site visit or who use a single mortar mix for all jobs regardless of property age — these are signs of poor practice that lead to long-term problems. Moore & Son always provide a written quotation before any work begins, with no hidden charges.
