Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
Brickwork, Landscaping & Driveways in Bury St Edmunds
Amber Brickworks & Landscapes covers Bury St Edmunds, about 19 miles from Haverhill and near the edge of our working area. We take on brickwork, flint and brick boundary walls, patios, block paving and building work in the town and the villages to its south and west.
Flint, white brick and Georgian fronts
The historic centre of Bury St Edmunds, laid out around the abbey, is full of Georgian brick frontages, often in pale Suffolk white brick, and garden walls of knapped or rubble flint with brick dressings. Flint walls are held together by their mortar more than most, so they need regular maintenance and the right lime mix when they are repaired.
Much of the centre is a conservation area with many listed buildings, so it is worth confirming with West Suffolk Council what consent is needed before altering a boundary wall or the front of a property.
The newer town
Most Bury homes are outside the centre, on estates such as Moreton Hall and around the edges of town. Here the common jobs are driveway replacement, patios, and garden walls or retaining walls to deal with changes in level.

Questions
Bury St Edmunds: common questions
Is Bury St Edmunds within your area?
Yes, although at about 19 miles it is close to the edge of it. We are happy to quote for work in Bury St Edmunds and in villages on the Haverhill side such as Horringer, Chedburgh and Wickhambrook.
Can you repair flint walls?
We can repair and rebuild brick and flint garden walls, including the brick piers, lacing courses and copings that hold the flintwork together. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm the extent of flint work Andrew takes on]
Do I need permission to change a wall in Bury’s conservation area?
Possibly. Taking down a wall over one metre high beside a road needs planning permission in a conservation area, and walls attached to or within the grounds of a listed building need listed building consent. West Suffolk Council’s planning team can confirm.
