Masonry Works

Masonry is the core of this trade: the line is stretched, the level speaks — we've laid to the same discipline for thirty years.

Masonry Works

Our company's story began with masonry — the founding brothers learned this work on site, with line and trowel. Today the same hand discipline operates inside a corporate structure: brick, block and stone walling, garden and retaining walls, cutting new door and window openings in existing walls (lintel calculation and temporary propping included) and closing unused openings.

Opening a doorway is the most critical item on that list: even in a non-load-bearing wall, the load above must be transferred correctly. The opening is first propped, a steel or precast lintel is placed, and only then is the cut made — never cut first, think later. Where a load-bearing wall is suspected, we do not start without a structural assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you tell if a wall is load-bearing?

Thickness, material, drawings and the loads above are assessed together; for reinforced shear walls or any doubt, no cutting happens without a structural engineer's opinion.

Do you build exposed decorative brick walls?

Yes — loft-style exposed brickwork and brick-slip cladding; joint colour and texture are approved on a sample first.

Do you build garden and retaining walls?

Yes — including foundation, drainage and coping details; retaining walls over 1 m are always built to an engineered design.

How long does opening a doorway take, and how dusty is it?

A standard doorway takes 1–2 days including propping and lintel; cutting is done with a water-cooled disc, the zone is sheeted off and industrial vacuums run throughout.
