“Had a single storey extension done on the back of the house. Jake was straightforward about the cost, stuck to it and kept us in the loop. The brickwork looks great. Would use again without question.”

Small jobs, done properly
Small Building Works & Property Repairs in Thetford
Not every job is big enough to interest a full building contractor, but it still needs doing properly. Walkers takes on small building work and property repairs around Thetford and further across Norfolk and Suffolk, from a section of damaged brickwork to jobs that fall between trades, and applies the same standard to a larger renovation when the scope calls for it.
What we do
Small jobs and larger projects
- Small brickwork and blockwork repairs
- Making good after another trade, or a removed feature
- One-off repairs that don't fit neatly under fencing, patios or exterior work
- Larger renovation, alteration and improvement projects, coordinated with trusted trades where the scope requires it
- Photo-based advice before a site visit

Common questions
Is my job the right fit?
What counts as a small building job?
Loose or damaged brickwork, a section of blockwork, making good after another trade, or a repair that doesn't fit neatly under fencing, patios or exterior work are all typical examples. If you're not sure whether it's worth a call, send a photo and a rough description and Jake will give you an honest answer.
What if the job turns out to be bigger once you look at it?
Sometimes a small repair turns into a larger job once it's opened up. Walkers will talk through the options and the cost before continuing, rather than assuming you want the bigger job done.
