Brick

Brick has been one of the most popular construction materials for centuries and it remains a first choice for design and build work, including new builds, property extensions, walls and other structures.

Advantages of using bricks in building work include:

• Flexibility – bricks are suitable for a vast range of structures, from small to large and from simple to complex

• Recyclable – bricks can be reused and are a key material reclaimed from demolition sites

• Durability – bricks are resistant to wind and moisture and maintain their shape under pressure

• Maintenance – brickwork requires very little maintenance to keep it in good condition

Most brickwork in Epsom and Surrey lasts for many years without the need for professional maintenance. However, as brickwork ages and suffers weathering, you may need bricklayers to carry out repointing work. Stone & Brick Construction offers this as a dedicated restoration service and as part of property renovations.

Stone

Natural stone has many of the same benefits as brick. For example, it is strong and durable. Stone is also versatile and, as part of our natural stone work, we use it in our design and build services to create walls, pond surrounds, patios and other hardscape features. Stone can even be used in the construction of houses and property extensions, offering a traditional style which is visually stunning.

It is important to bear in mind that characteristics vary between different types of stone. Our team in Epsom can help find the perfect material for your project.

A key benefit of using natural stone in building work is that it comes in a wide range of tones and colours, providing unique character and a stunning aesthetic. Furthermore, colours and patterns won’t wear away like the finishes on synthetic materials can.

Like brickwork, stonework will need minor repairs over the years to keep it stable and ensure it performs as expected. The bricklayers at Stone & Brick Construction can provide repointing, repairs, cleaning, replacements and restoration for existing stonework. Where needed, we offer these natural stone works alongside wider property renovations.
