Bricklaying Contractor – Midlands & North West

Bricklaying Contractor in Stone

Stone sits a short run north on the A34 from Vanguard Masonry, a bricklaying contractor based at Dunston, just south of Stafford. We deliver brickwork for housebuilders, main contractors, groundworkers and clients building one-off homes across Stone, Walton, Meaford, Oulton, Barlaston and the villages around Eccleshall.

Stone is a canal town on the Trent and Mersey, with a historic high street, growing residential edges and villages in the countryside around it. Work here ranges from housing phases to single plots where the brick has to sit well next to older buildings. We price and supervise every Stone package from our Dunston office.

Housing, villages and one-off plots

Between the A34, the A51 and the M6, with Stoke-on-Trent to the north.

Much of the work around Stone is housing on the edge of the town and smaller schemes in the villages, where planners often want facing brick, mortar and detailing that match the buildings around them. We build sample panels where the specification calls for them and keep a named supervisor on each job to check gauge, bond and joint finish.

Areas we cover around Stone

  • Stone town: including Walton and the areas either side of the A34 and A520
  • Meaford, Oulton and Barlaston: north of the town, towards Stoke-on-Trent
  • Yarnfield and Swynnerton: to the west, near M6 junctions 14 and 15
  • Eccleshall and nearby villages: along the A519 and B5026

Nearby, we also cover Stafford, Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, 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 Stone package

The same process on a housing phase or a single plot.

  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.
