Brickwork in Windsor | Why Brick is the Leading Choice for New House Construction

Timeless Aesthetic

A key reason brick has remained popular for so long is its visual appeal. When designed and constructed by skilled bricklayers, brick properties and boundary walls enhance kerb appeal. What’s more, the timeless aesthetic of brick means it never goes out of fashion.

Flexibility in Design and Construction

Leading on from the above point, brick also offers incredible flexibility. Skilled brickwork contractors can utilise bricks in various sizes, styles, textures, colours and finishes to create stunning properties and structures in an endless array of designs.

Furthermore, many builders will tell you how adaptable bricks are to different new house construction requirements in Beaconsfield and across the Thames Valley. They are suitable for any setting and structures of any size. They are also easy for masonry contractors to cut to specification. Some options include:

•  Exterior and Interior Walls

•  Retaining Walls

•  Boundary Walls

•  Brick Arches and Curves

•  Straight Profiles

The nature of brick structures also means it is often possible to carry out individual brick replacements, preventing the need for extensive masonry restoration or rebuilds when localised wear or damage occurs.

Reliability and Safety

Brick is a tried-and-tested building material which has been widely used for centuries. When you hire reputable bricklayers, you can be sure of optimal strength, stability and durability. Clay bricks can withstand temperature and weather fluctuations, which are common in the UK. They are also resistant to moisture and require minimal maintenance. In fact, the mortar generally deteriorates before the bricks, but professional brick repointing will restore the integrity of the structure.

In addition, brick masonry is fire-resistant, helping slow the spread of fire. Our brickwork contractors can ensure you also enjoy superior sound insulation and thermal performance.
