Bricklayers

Walls, bridges, archways, chimneys; everywhere you look there is brickwork! Here are a few different bricklaying projects that you may need a recommended bricklayer for:

Laying brick walls

You may want a bricklayer to build a wall or repair a wall and carry out other brickwork on your home. Perhaps you have areas that need new pointing or repointing, to keep out the elements and ensure your property is well maintained. Remember that a good brick wall needs a good foundation.

Brickwork

Brickwork is a precise trade - pointing, repointing and bricklaying need to be done carefully and methodically to achieve a regular finish. A bricklayer will help you choose the right type of bricks for the project and will use plumb lines to ensure you end up with a neat looking, strong wall. A good bricklayer will be needed to build internal and external walls and they'll be able to give you advice on suitable materials, depending on the project.

Pointing and repointing

It's vital to maintain pointing as it affects the strength and stability of your home's internal and external walls. Chipped or damaged bricks are vulnerable to frost and heat damage so it's important you maintain your brick walls properly.

Bricklayers can advise on the various styles of pointing and can match up repointing to your existing pointing.
