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
- Repointing brickwork
- Rebuilding chimneys
- Laying a patio edge or retaining wall
- Blocking up or opening a doorway
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.
- 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.
- Matching old bricks is hard. Ask to see a sample of the brick and mortar colour beforehand.
