Traditional brick-and-mortar construction remains the preferred choice for new builds across the UK. If you have chosen to use bricks and blocks for your project, it is only right that you know what to expect from the construction process. For this reason, our brickwork contractors in High Wycombe and the surrounding areas we cover have produced this guide. Operating as expert bricklayers and masonry contractors, the team at K Johnson knows everything there is to know about brick and block work, as well as the whole new house construction process.
See what previous clients have to say about our quality workmanship on our testimonials page.
Although bricks have been used in construction for centuries, modern developments in building processes ensure this continues to be a sound option for 21st-century properties. With the help of our highly skilled contractors, you enjoy enhanced structural integrity, moisture protection and thermal efficiency.
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:
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:
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.
