About me and my history in Bricklaying and construction

I am a self-employed Bricklayer based in Neath of South Wales - UK with over 30 years of experience in the construction industry.  I finished my 3 year apprenticeship with housing development company I.G Hale Ltd of Neath Abbey, Neath when I was 19 and have since worked in many different areas in Wales, England and abroad.  

For the last 6 years 90% of the projects I have worked on have been self-build accommodation (click here to find out about building your own house).  Before this for approximately 5 years I was based with timber-frame type dwellings.  

Since completing my apprenticeship many years ago - I have worked for and with various partners, and with larger teams of professionals under well-established and high rated construction businesses in South Wales, to name but a few, include:

I.G Hale Ltd
Hafan Homes Ltd
Cyril Homes Ltd
Sharp & Ayres Ltd
RM Douglas Ltd
Swansea Welding Engineering
Seven Oaks Joinery Construction
Siesta Windows Group Of Companies Ltd
Westcott Wales Ltd
D&A Ralf & Son Builders

I have been self-employed since 1982 - during this time I have completing many projects on a sub-contract basis with some of these firms and many others not listed, as well as being directly employed.  References are available on request.  Please see my feedback page for customer references.

In the late 1980's my then partner Steve James and myself formed our own company by the name of Glamorgan Brickwork Contractors - in which to this day is still a success and ran by Steve.  I opted out of being a partner in this business 5 years into setting up to work abroad.

I have worked with many different types of face brickwork  bounds over the years, including quarter bound in Germany.  I have worked with many different types of stone including random and dressed stone, stone heads, sills, window and door surroundings.

 

I have also done a large range of projects relating to led work over bays, porches and in and around chimneys.  I have also built many types of fireplaces and feature work.  Click here for further information on special feature work.

Overall - I have a massive amount of experience behind me in the industry, with a large number of contacts within the industry in order to complete projects at a high standard at a cost-effective price. 

Please feel free to browse my online portfolio which provides a small collection of some of the work that I have completed as of recent and over the last few years.

If you have any questions about myself and my trade. please don't hesitate to contact me.
