Brick Matching and Local Experience

Matching existing brickwork is one of the most challenging aspects of domestic bricklaying — particularly on older Hampshire properties with handmade or regional bricks that are no longer in production. We have extensive experience sourcing matching bricks and blending bond patterns to create extensions and repairs that are indistinguishable from the original work.

Foundations Built for Hampshire Ground

Hampshire's chalk and clay sub-soils require careful foundation design. Clay ground moves seasonally with moisture changes, which causes mortar joints to crack and walls to lean when footings are insufficiently deep. All our brickwork is built on properly designed foundations with the right depth and concrete specification for local ground conditions — not a one-size-fits-all solution.

All bricklaying work is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. We cover Eastleigh, Fair Oak, Winchester, Chandlers Ford, Hedge End, Southampton and all surrounding Hampshire areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bricklaying costs vary significantly depending on the type and scale of the project. Garden walls typically cost £150–£300 per linear metre for single-skin construction, depending on height, foundation requirements and brick type. Extensions and structural brickwork are priced individually based on drawings and site assessment. All bricklaying quotations are based on a free site visit. We provide itemised written quotes with no hidden costs.
Brick matching is one of the most technically demanding aspects of domestic bricklaying, particularly on older Hampshire properties. We have extensive experience sourcing matching bricks and blending bond patterns to create extensions and repairs that are visually consistent with the original work. Where exact matches are not available, we can blend different brick types and adjust mortar colour to create a seamless result. We will assess your existing brickwork at the site visit and advise honestly on what is achievable.
Foundation depth depends on ground conditions, wall height and load. In Hampshire, chalk sub-soils around Winchester are generally stable, but clay-heavy ground in Eastleigh, Fair Oak and the SO50 corridor moves significantly with seasonal moisture changes. As a guide, strip foundations for garden walls are typically 450–600mm deep in stable ground and 600–900mm in clay or made-up ground. We assess ground conditions on every site visit and design foundations accordingly. Under-specified foundations are the primary cause of leaning and cracking walls in Hampshire.
