Bricklaying Contractor in Lichfield

Lichfield is reached along the A51 or the A5 by Vanguard Masonry, a bricklaying contractor based at Dunston, near Stafford. We deliver brickwork and blockwork for housebuilders, main contractors and groundworkers across Lichfield, Burntwood, Fradley, Whittington, Shenstone and Alrewas.

Lichfield is a cathedral city with a large conservation area at its centre and steady housing growth around its edges, including the strategic sites at Streethay and to the south of the city. Fradley Park brings commercial and logistics buildings, and Burntwood adds its own housing and town centre work. Each needs a different approach, and we plan every package around it.

City centre care, edge-of-city pace

Between the A38, the A51 and the A5, with Birmingham to the south.

Close to the cathedral and the older streets, planners expect brick, mortar and detailing that suit the buildings around them, and we build sample panels where the specification calls for them. On larger housing phases on the edge of the city, the priority is planned labour and steady plot delivery, and that is where our 100 bricklayers count.

Areas we cover around Lichfield

  • Lichfield city: including Streethay, Boley Park and the areas off the A51 and A5127
  • Burntwood and Chase Terrace: to the west, towards Cannock
  • Fradley and Alrewas: north along the A38
  • Whittington and Shenstone: east and south of the city, towards Tamworth and Sutton Coldfield

Five steps on every Lichfield package

The same process in the city centre or on a housing phase.

  1. Pre-start review: drawings, specification, programme and access checked before we start.
  2. Mobilisation: gangs, supervisor, RAMS and materials planned to the programme.
  3. Plot delivery: work released and built in the agreed sequence.
  4. Quality checks: recorded checks as the work goes up, not only at the end.
  5. 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.
