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 extension walls
- Building garden walls
- Repointing brickwork
- Rebuilding chimneys
- Building brick pillars and gate posts
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.
- 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.
- Ask if the price includes scaffold, skip hire and clearing waste.
