Professional Structural Brickwork & Masonry for Castle Cary Properties

True structural brickwork is a dying skill — one that Brick Builds has practised and refined over 17 years across Somerset. We carry out all forms of structural brickwork and masonry, from complex arched openings and decorative bond patterns to load-bearing wall construction, chimney stack rebuilding and the repair of failing brickwork on period properties in Castle Cary and the surrounding area.

We are one of the few contractors in Somerset with the skills to match existing brickwork exactly — sourcing the correct bond pattern, mortar mix, pointing profile and brick type to ensure any new work is visually indistinguishable from the original. This is particularly important in conservation areas and for listed buildings across Castle Cary and the wider Somerset region where any mismatch is immediately visible and potentially in breach of planning conditions.

Our brickwork services in Castle Cary include new-build structural brickwork, skin repairs, stepped flashings, parapet walls, chimney stacks, ornamental corbelling and specialist decorative work. If you have a brickwork problem on your Somerset property — whether it is a bulging wall, spalling facing bricks, failed mortar joints or a crumbling chimney — we will survey it, explain it clearly, and fix it properly.

Frequently Asked Questions �� Structural Brickwork & Masonry in Castle Cary

Can you match existing brickwork on my Somerset property?
Yes — brick matching is one of our specialist skills. We assess the existing bond pattern, brick dimensions, colour variation and mortar profile before sourcing materials from specialist reclamation suppliers. The result on your Castle Cary property should be indistinguishable from the original.
My chimney is crumbling — can you repair it in Castle Cary?
Yes. We repair and rebuild chimney stacks throughout Somerset — including repointing, brick replacement, lead flashing renewal and pot removal or replacement. We access all chimney stacks safely using scaffolding or MEWP platforms and provide a full photographic report of the condition before quoting.
What causes brick spalling on Somerset properties?
Brick spalling — where the face of the brick flakes or crumbles — is typically caused by frost damage combined with moisture ingress, or by the use of an inappropriately hard cement mortar on a softer traditional brick. In Somerset this is a common issue on Victorian and Edwardian properties. We assess the cause before recommending the correct repair approach.
How much does chimney repointing cost in Castle Cary?
Chimney repointing in Castle Cary typically costs £400–£1,200 depending on access requirements and the extent of deterioration. A full chimney stack rebuild costs £800–£3,500. We provide a free survey and fixed-price quote — call 01460 353121.
