Master Craftsmen in Brick and Stone

Brickwork is both a craft and an art, requiring skill, precision, and an eye for detail that comes only with years of experience. Carey Brothers & Sons has built its reputation on exceptional brickwork across Kent and the Southeast, from traditional period properties to contemporary new builds. Our specialist brickwork division, led by Adam Stannard, delivers masonry work of the highest calibre.

We specialise in all aspects of brickwork and masonry – facing brickwork for new builds and extensions, structural blockwork, decorative features including arches and corbelling, brick repairs and repointing, garden walls, and chimneys. Our bricklayers understand traditional and modern techniques, from Flemish bond and English bond to contemporary stretcher bond and specialist decorative patterns. We're experienced in matching existing brickwork on heritage properties, sourcing appropriate bricks and using traditional lime mortars where required. For new builds, we work with a wide range of facing bricks and create stunning feature walls that enhance architectural design.

Quality brickwork requires careful planning and meticulous execution. We begin by selecting appropriate bricks to match your design vision and existing building (where applicable), considering colour, texture, size, and weathering characteristics. Our bricklayers set out accurately, ensuring perfect perpendiculars, level courses, and clean joints. We work in all weathers where appropriate, protecting brickwork from frost and rain to prevent damage. Throughout the build, we maintain consistent joint widths, clean pointing, and proper bonding patterns. All our brickwork complies with British Standards and building regulations. We take pride in our workmanship – when you choose Carey Brothers, you're choosing brickwork built to last generations.
