Preserving the Architectural History of the South Coast

Specialist Heritage Craftsmen

Our team at Ashcroft Brickwork Ltd takes great pride in the preservation and restoration of historic buildings.

Whether it is a Grade II listed cottage or a historic boundary wall, we use time-honoured techniques to ensure that any repairs or new additions remain sympathetic to the original structure.

With extensive experience working across West Sussex, Sussex, and Hampshire, we are dedicated to maintaining the unique architectural character of our local area.

Expertise in Traditional Materials

Restoring a period property is about more than just aesthetics; it is about the health and longevity of the building. We specialise in the use of traditional materials that allow historic structures to function as they were originally designed.

  • Lime Mortar Repointing: Many period buildings suffer from the use of modern cement, which can trap moisture and damage historic masonry. We provide expert repointing using breathable lime mortars, tailored to the specific requirements of your property.

  • Traditional Flintwork: We are specialists in both knapped flint and field masonry. From intricate decorative panels to structural repairs, we ensure the flint and mortar match local traditional patterns perfectly.

  • Sourcing & Matching: We have a keen eye for detail when it comes to sourcing reclaimed bricks and matching historical bonds, ensuring that any restoration work is virtually seamless.

Period Restoration Services

From minor repairs to significant structural restoration, we offer a comprehensive service for period homeowners and commercial heritage sites.

  • Chimney Repairs & Rebuilds: Specialist restoration of period chimney stacks, ensuring they are structurally sound and architecturally accurate.

  • Boundary & Retaining Walls: Repairing and rebuilding historic garden and boundary walls using traditional lime and stone.

  • Structural Masonry Repairs: Identifying and fixing cracks or failing masonry using conservation-approved methods.

  • Heritage Consultancy: We can advise on the best materials and techniques to satisfy local conservation requirements.
