School and public-building projects require masonry that combines durability, accurate setting-out and careful coordination with the wider construction programme, particularly around elevations, openings and adjoining building elements.

ITM Brickwork provides brickwork and blockwork for schools, educational facilities and public buildings throughout Greater London and neighbouring areas, supporting new-build, extension and refurbishment projects.

Our masonry works can be coordinated with structural elements, glazing, roofing, services and other trades, while taking account of phased construction, restricted access and the practical requirements of working on public-facing sites.

  • More than 100 London schools applied for the Mayor’s Greener Schools funding in 2025 for projects including building retrofit, solar installations and other decarbonisation measures. Twenty-five schools were initially shortlisted for around £2 million in capital funding. It is a useful reminder that London’s school estate is increasingly shaped by refurbishment and building-performance upgrades as well as traditional new construction.

What Our School & Public Building Brickwork Includes

From new buildings and extensions to alterations and refurbishment works, we support the principal masonry requirements of educational and public-sector construction.

New Build & Extension Masonry

Brickwork and blockwork for new school buildings, extensions, additional wings and other new areas constructed as part of wider education or public-building projects.

Boundary Walls & Sports Facilities

Brick and block boundary walls around school grounds, sports pitches and other external facilities, including long perimeter runs, piers, returns and associated masonry details.

Facing Brickwork & External Elevations

External facing brickwork delivered to specified elevations, including detailing around windows, entrances, corners and transitions between materials.

Blockwork & Internal Masonry

Blockwork for structural and non-structural walls, internal areas and other masonry elements formed in accordance with project drawings and required wall build-ups.

Why choose ITM Brickwork for Schools & Public Buildings?

School and public-building projects can involve more than straightforward masonry construction. Phased programmes, restricted working areas, extensive openings and interfaces with glazing, roofing, services and structural components all require brickwork to be delivered in the correct sequence and to the specified details.

ITM Brickwork approaches these projects as part of the wider construction programme, working from issued drawings and coordinating masonry stages with the activities around them. Whether the project involves a new facility, an extension or alterations to an existing building, the objective is consistent brickwork and blockwork that allows subsequent construction stages to proceed efficiently.

When to Involve ITM Brickwork in Your School or Public Building Project

ITM Brickwork can be brought into the project as masonry requirements, construction stages and external works become ready to progress.

ITM Brickwork is usually required when:

  • Once drawings confirm elevations, openings and wall build-ups

  • When foundations and setting-out areas are ready for masonry

  • When masonry must coordinate with glazing, steelwork, roofing or service routes

  • During snagging, remedial brickwork and final pointing before completion

  • During phased construction or works with restricted site access

  • When boundary walls are required around school grounds, sports pitches or external facilities
