Kris Williams
Built by the trowel
KW Brickwork is run by Kris Williams, a bricklayer who holds the NOCN Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Trowel Occupations (Construction), awarded in June 2026 and regulated by Ofqual. The qualification was assessed in the workplace. It covers setting out, building brick and block structures and cladding, repairing masonry to match existing work, and architectural features such as arches and curved walls.
Most of our work is subcontract brickwork and blockwork for housebuilders, developers and main contractors: bungalows, two-storey homes and three-storey townhouses in facing brick with stone banding, and facing brick cladding on public-sector buildings, including new schools, Ministry of Defence projects and hospital buildings. We work off scaffold, to the drawings and to your programme.
