Substructure Brickwork for Groundworkers in Staffordshire
Substructure brickwork and blockwork up to DPC for groundworkers across Staffordshire comes from Vanguard Masonry, a bricklaying contractor based at Dunston, just south of Stafford by junction 13 of the M6. We build substructure brickwork and blockwork up to DPC for groundworkers across Staffordshire, priced as a standalone package and worked to your groundworks sequence.
Groundworkers need a bricklaying contractor who turns up when the foundations are ready and is gone before the slab goes down. We plan substructure gangs around your programme, work plot by plot as you release them and leave each one ready for your next operation.
What our substructure packages cover
- Foundation brickwork and blockwork from footings to DPC
- Trench blocks and cavity work below ground
- Engineering brick courses and DPC laid as specified
- Sleeper walls and walls to suspended floors
- Retaining and boundary walls in brick or block where specified
Worked to your groundworks sequence
Plots released, built and handed back on the dates you set.
We price substructure on its own, so you can let it as a separate package. Our supervisor agrees the plot sequence with your site team, and every plot is checked for line, level and DPC height before we hand it back.
We cover groundworks sites across Stafford, Stone, Rugeley, Uttoxeter, Newcastle-under-Lyme and the rest of Staffordshire. For our wider substructure work, see substructure brickwork.
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 package
The same process runs on every substructure package.
- 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.
If we are also building above DPC, see our new-build housing brickwork and timber frame brickwork.

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.
