What a bricklayer does
Bricklayers set out the wall, lay each course level and plumb, and finish the joints. Matching old brick and mortar takes real skill.
Jobs people often ask bricklayers to do:
- Building extension walls
- Building garden walls
- Repointing brickwork
- Rebuilding chimneys
- Laying a patio edge or retaining wall
Before you book a bricklayer
- Older brickwork often uses lime mortar. Hard cement mortar can damage soft old bricks, so ask which mortar is planned.
- Building on or near a boundary may involve the Party Wall Act. Talk to your neighbour and check before work starts.
- Ask how a new wall will be tied into the old and whether it needs a damp-proof course.
- A new extension has to go through Building Control. Ask who will arrange the inspections.
