Brickwork for Bespoke One-Off Houses
Bespoke one-off houses across Staffordshire and the Midlands get their brickwork from Vanguard Masonry, a bricklaying contractor based at Dunston, just south of Stafford by junction 13 of the M6. As well as housing and commercial packages, we build the brickwork for bespoke one-off houses across Staffordshire and the Midlands, with the same supervision and paperwork we bring to larger sites.
A one-off house is judged on its brickwork. Bond, joint finish, reveals and feature courses are seen every day by the people who live there. We work with main contractors, builders and clients building their own home to get those details right, from setting out to the last course under the eaves.
What we build on one-off houses
- Facing brickwork in the specified bond, brick and joint finish
- Feature details: soldier courses, string courses, corbelling, arches and brick-on-edge
- Chimneys, piers and garden walls
- Blockwork inner leaves and internal walls
- Substructure to DPC
Detail first, then pace
Sample panels and agreed details before the main walls go up.
Where the specification calls for it, we build a sample panel so the brick, mortar colour and joint can be agreed before work starts. A named supervisor stays with the job and checks setting out, gauge and detailing as the walls rise.
We build one-off houses across Stafford, Stone, Lichfield, Uttoxeter and the villages of Staffordshire.
Staffordshire is our core area, but it is not the limit. We also cover the wider West and East Midlands, Cheshire and the North West, with the same supervision and paperwork on every site.
Five steps on every job
The same process runs whether it is one house or a full phase.
- Pre-start review: drawings, specification, programme and access checked before we start.
- Mobilisation: gangs, supervisor, RAMS and materials planned to the programme.
- Plot delivery: work released and built in the agreed sequence.
- Quality checks: recorded checks as the work goes up, not only at the end.
- Clean handover: work handed over tidy and ready for the next trade or for inspection.
Every package can be priced three ways: labour only; labour, mortar, sundries and fuel; or full supply and fit. Our bricklayers hold CSCS cards, every package has a named supervisor and RAMS, and we hold Constructionline Gold and CHAS Advanced.

Testimonials
On our care home development, Vanguard took ownership of the stonework scope from day one. The finish quality was excellent, their supervision was solid, and they kept communication simple and professional throughout. They understood the importance of programme and quality needed, and they delivered exactly what we needed with minimal snagging. I’d recommend them to any developer looking for a dependable sub contractor.
Testimonials
Vanguard were solid from start to finish on our Blackburn site. Good output, tidy working areas, and the brickwork finish was consistently to a high standard. Any issues were dealt with quickly and without drama.
