What a bricklayer does
On repair work a bricklayer cuts out failed mortar or bricks, replaces them and re-points to match the original as closely as possible.
Jobs people often ask bricklayers to do:
- Building garden walls
- Repointing brickwork
- Rebuilding chimneys
- Replacing damaged bricks
- Laying a patio edge or retaining wall
Before you book a bricklayer
- A garden wall over 2 metres, or over 1 metre next to a road, may need planning permission. Ask your council if unsure.
- Matching old bricks is hard. Ask to see a sample of the brick and mortar colour beforehand.
- A new extension has to go through Building Control. Ask who will arrange the inspections.
- Cracks in brickwork can come from movement. Ask for an opinion on the cause before repair.
