    Brick and block from the footings up to wall plate, ready for the roofer and the rest of the build.

  • Brick matched to your house

    Facing brick and bond chosen so the extension looks like it was always part of the house.

  • Porches and garden rooms

  • Openings and lintels

    Window and door openings set out to the drawings, with lintels and cavity trays fitted correctly.

  • Work to building regulations

    Cavity insulation, wall ties, DPC and trays built in as specified for building control sign off.

  • For homeowners and builders

    We work directly for homeowners, or as the bricklaying team for your main builder.

Extension brickwork that looks like it was always there

The brickwork is what everyone sees on an extension. Get it right and the extension looks like part of the original house. Get it wrong and it looks bolted on. At RS Kayley Ltd we have been building extensions across Bexleyheath, Kent and South East London for over 18 years, and we take real care over brick matching, bond and the neatness of every joint.

What we build

  • Single storey rear and side extensions, from footings to wall plate
  • Double storey extensions working alongside your builder and scaffolder
  • Wrap around and kitchen extensions with large openings for bifold or sliding doors
  • Porches and front extensions
  • Brick built garden rooms and outbuildings

Working with you or your builder

Some homeowners manage their own extension and bring in trades directly. Others use a main contractor who needs a reliable bricklaying team. We are happy to work either way. Either way you get one point of contact, clear communication and a team that turns up when we say we will.

Built to the drawings and to building regulations

We build to your architect’s or designer’s drawings and the building regulations: correct cavity widths, insulation, wall ties, damp proof courses, cavity trays and lintels. That makes building control inspections straightforward and gives you a sound, warm, dry extension.

Planning, party walls and paperwork

Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, while others need planning permission from Bexley Council or Dartford Borough Council. If your extension is close to or on the boundary, the Party Wall Act may apply. These need to be in place before we start, and we are happy to talk through the order of works with you or your designer.

Planning a project and want to tidy up the garden afterwards? We also build patios and garden walls, so the outside can be finished to the same standard.

    We needed new stairs leading up to the front door. We asked Rick for his advice and he showed us a few ideas. He made a lovely job, was on time and finished on schedule. This is the second time we've used him and would definitely recommend him.

    Ricky was very professional and repaired our Edwardian garden wall perfectly after a tree toppling over in a storm took it down. True craftsmanship and attention to detail. Would highly recommend!

Questions

Extensions: your questions answered

Cannot see your question? Call 01322 515657 or send us a message.

Do you do the whole extension or just the brickwork?

Our speciality is the brickwork and blockwork, from the footings up to wall plate. We work alongside your builder or the other trades you have chosen, or we can talk you through who you will need for the rest of the build.

Can you match the brick to my existing house?

Yes, this is something we take real care over. We source brick that matches the colour, texture and size of your house, and match the bond and pointing so the new work blends in.

How long does the brickwork for an extension take?

For a typical single storey rear extension the shell usually takes a few weeks, depending on size, openings and weather. We give you a realistic timeframe with your quote.

Do you work for main contractors?

Yes. We have worked for builders, developers and main contractors across Kent and London for years, and are happy to price from drawings.
