Surefoot works across the borough on extension shells, walling, paving and full landscaping, with the same team handling the ground and the brickwork above it. Surefoot Brickwork Ltd is based in Doncaster: around twelve miles from our Doncaster base. Everything below applies to work we carry out in Rotherham and the surrounding area. ### A short run from our base Rotherham is around twelve miles from Doncaster along the A630 and M18, which makes it one of our most regular working areas outside the home town. Site visits before quoting are straightforward, and so are returns during a project. ### Coverage across the borough We work in Rotherham town and across the borough's villages and suburbs, including Wickersley, Bramley, Whiston, Brinsworth, Maltby, Dinnington, Thurcroft, Wath and Rawmarsh. We do not publish a response time we cannot guarantee: call and we will tell you what our availability actually is. ### Property types we work on here Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces near the centre and the former steel corridors, interwar and post-war semis across the estates, stone-influenced older property in the outlying villages, and modern detached housing on newer developments around Bramley and Wickersley. ### What Rotherham clients ask for most Single and two-storey extension footings and brickwork; garden and boundary walls replacing failed fencing on the older estates; driveways where off-street parking is being created or widened; and patios and full garden schemes on the larger suburban plots.

Request Your Estimate Local conditions ## What Catches People Out In Rotherham Property age, ground conditions, drainage and exposure differ from town to town. These are the issues we see most often on Rotherham projects, and the reason we survey before we price. - ### Former industrial and colliery ground Rotherham's steel and mining history left made ground across parts of the borough, and its quality varies street by street. Foundation depth has to follow what the trench shows rather than what a standard detail assumes, and that judgement is made on site. - ### River valleys and surface water The Don and the Rother run through the borough and the lower-lying areas around them shed water poorly. Gardens that stay saturated, driveways that pond and patios that never dry usually need drainage and levels resolving before any new surface is laid. - ### Older terraces with hard repointing Soft Victorian brick repointed in a strong modern mortar spalls under frost, because the joint no longer sacrifices itself first. On Rotherham's older streets, matching mortar strength to the brick is the difference between a repair and an acceleration. - ### Failed boundary walls and fencing lines A lot of borough housing has original boundary walls that were built low on shallow footings and have since leaned, or fence lines that have been replaced repeatedly. A properly founded wall with a coping is a single spend rather than a recurring one.
