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 garden walls
- Rebuilding chimneys
- Replacing damaged bricks
- Building brick pillars and gate posts
- Blocking up or opening a doorway
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.
- A garden wall over 2 metres, or over 1 metre next to a road, may need planning permission. Ask your council if unsure.
- Ask if the price includes scaffold, skip hire and clearing waste.
- Cracks in brickwork can come from movement. Ask for an opinion on the cause before repair.
