Built from the trade.

AJAY began with one time-served bricklayer and has grown into a major North East brickwork contractor.

Our story

Started in 2015. Built on years of experience.

Managing Director Adam Jenkins began his bricklaying apprenticeship in 2002 and remained on the tools until forming AJAY Brickwork in 2015.

From a business started in the living room of his home, AJAY has grown into a multimillion-pound contractor providing work for more than 100 bricklayers throughout the year.

Today the business combines practical trade experience with dedicated contracts, quantity surveying, customer care and apprenticeship management.
