A North East brickwork contractor built from the trade.

Established in 2015, AJAY is a family-run North East brickwork contractor built on practical trade experience, quality and dependable delivery.

Our story

Started in 2015. Built on years of experience.

AJAY Brickwork Limited was established in 2015 by Managing Director Adam Jenkins, who had begun his own bricklaying apprenticeship in 2002 and remained on the tools until starting the business.

The company initially worked across commercial projects with clients throughout the North East before moving quickly into housing development and securing contracts with major housebuilders.

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

AJAY remains focused on quality, efficient delivery and completing demanding construction programmes on time. Its quality standards have been recognised through multiple NHBC awards.
