Bricklaying Contractor in Rugeley

Rugeley is a short drive along the A513 or over Cannock Chase for Vanguard Masonry, a bricklaying contractor based at Dunston, near Stafford. Our teams build brickwork and blockwork for housebuilders, main contractors and groundworkers across Rugeley, Brereton, Etching Hill, Armitage and the villages of the Trent Valley.

Rugeley sits on the River Trent at the eastern edge of Cannock Chase. The redevelopment of the former power station site is bringing new housing and employment land to the town, alongside smaller housing schemes in Brereton and the surrounding villages. We bring the same planned labour and supervision to every package, whatever its size.

Between Cannock Chase and the Trent Valley

Reached along the A51, A460 and A513 from our base.

On larger phased sites we plan gangs plot by plot as they are released, and on village schemes we keep the same supervisor on the job from start to finish. Sites close to Cannock Chase can come with planning conditions on materials and working hours, and we build those into the programme from the start.

Areas we cover around Rugeley

  • Rugeley town: including the areas off the A51 and A460
  • Brereton and Etching Hill: south and west of the town
  • Armitage and Handsacre: along the A513 towards Lichfield
  • Colton and the Trent Valley villages: north of the river, towards Abbots Bromley

Nearby, we also cover Cannock, Lichfield, Stafford, Uttoxeter and the rest 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 Rugeley package

Planned from our office on the other side of Cannock Chase.

  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.
