Construction of Property Walls

In a new house construction, the creation of brick walls follows groundworks and foundations. Forming part of our team of new home builders, our masonry contractors build external masonry walls. These are made up of an outer wall of bricks and an inner leaf of concrete blocks.

The inner leaf is the key structural component which supports everything from the internal floors to the roof. The exterior brick wall acts as the first line of defence against the weather. It also provides an attractive appearance. Our brickwork contractors in High Wycombe and the surrounding areas can create a range of designs and finishes to achieve your desired look.

The inner leaf and exterior wall are linked by steel wall ties, with a cavity between them. This cavity can be fully or partially filled with insulation.

Our bricklayers also build internal brick walls. These consist of a single skin of brickwork and can either be load-bearing or non-load-bearing. Additionally, we offer architectural masonry and construct retaining walls as needed.

K Johnson can also provide brick services for renovation projects, including:

  • Brick Repairs

  • Brick Repointing

  • Brick Chimney Rebuilds

  • Extension Brickwork

  • Masonry Restoration

Construction of New Homes

As new home builders, we do not just construct the walls for your new build, although we can provide this singular service. We offer a specialist solution which covers everything from planning to completion.

Of course, new builds start with design, planning, drawings and approvals. Once everything is in order, our bricklayers can begin the construction process. Our customers in High Wycombe and the surrounding areas can expect the following general process:

  • 1. Groundworks and site preparation, including sub-surface utilities/connections and retaining walls, footings and foundations.

  • 2. Construction of walls and architectural masonry, completed by our in-house brickwork contractors, along with roofing.

  • 3. Installation of pipework, plumbing, heating and electrical systems before fixing plasterboard to internal walls.

  • 4. Installation of fixtures and finishes such as the kitchen, bathroom, cupboards, appliances, light switches, sockets and flooring.

Internal works are completed by subcontractors, including plumbing, heating and electrical work.

If you require it, our masonry contractors can even provide quality architectural flintwork alongside new house construction and any other building projects.

Please get in touch today for new build services, brick repairs, brick repointing and other specialist services. Our team operate in the High Wycombe, Aylesbury, Oxford, Windsor and Maidenhead areas.
