General Building Lincoln

Brickwork & Blockwork

Solid brickwork forms the foundation of any quality building project. Our Lincoln bricklayers deliver precise, durable work whether you’re building new walls in Bracebridge Heath, extending a property in Waddington, or replacing damaged brickwork on a period home in the Cathedral Quarter. We work with all brick types and bonds, matching existing brickwork seamlessly on repairs and extensions. From garden walls and boundary structures to structural walls and chimney rebuilds, every course is laid true and level. We source materials locally where possible, ensuring colour and texture match Lincoln’s existing streetscapes.

Plastering & Rendering

Transform interior walls and exterior facades with professional plastering and rendering. Our plasterers produce smooth, flawless finishes across Canterbury homes—from skimming over old artex in Ermine Estate to full re-renders on properties in Skellingthorpe Road. We handle traditional lime plastering for period homes along Steep Hill, modern dry lining for new builds in the Western Growth Corridor, and external rendering in silicone, monocouche, and traditional sand and cement finishes. Proper plastering makes the difference between a renovation that looks amateur and one that looks exceptional. We get it right first time.

Groundwork & Foundations

Every successful building project starts beneath the surface. Our groundwork team prepares sites across Lincoln for extensions, garden rooms, driveways, and new builds. We handle excavation, drainage, concrete foundations, and substructure work with the precision your project demands. Lincoln’s varied ground conditions—from the clay soils common in Boultham to the limestone geology of Uphill Lincoln—require experienced hands and the right approach. We work closely with building control to ensure foundations meet structural requirements, providing the solid base everything above depends on.

Structural Alterations

Open up your Lincoln home with expert structural alterations. Removing load-bearing walls, installing steel beams, creating new openings, and reconfiguring layouts can dramatically improve how your property functions. Our team manages structural work in properties across Doddington Road, Burton Road, and Lincoln’s residential areas, from knocking through cramped Victorian rooms into open-plan living spaces to adding new doorways and window openings. Every structural alteration is designed by a qualified structural engineer and completed with full building regulations approval. We ensure your home is safer and more functional when we finish than when we started.

Why Choose Lincoln Builders for General Building?

Choosing the right builder makes the difference between a project you’re proud of and one that causes headaches. We’ve built our reputation across Lincoln by doing things properly—turning up when we say we will, communicating clearly throughout your project, and delivering work that stands the test of time.

We’re experienced with Lincoln’s full range of housing stock, from the historic stone properties climbing Steep Hill to the modern estates spreading across North Hykeham and Waddington. That matters because different properties demand different approaches—the techniques used on a Victorian terrace along Monks Road aren’t the same as those needed for a 1990s detached in Doddington Park.
