WHY BRICKWORK?
Choosing brickwork for your construction projects offers numerous advantages that enhance both functionality and aesthetics. One of the primary benefits is durability, as brick structures are built to withstand the test of time and resist harsh weather conditions. We always ensure that footings are deep enough to provide the necessary strength and stability, giving you peace of mind that your investment is secure. In addition to their robust nature, brick walls offer significant strength, making them ideal for various applications, from load-bearing structures to garden features. The aesthetic appeal of brickwork is undeniable, adding timeless beauty and character to your property. Moreover, brickwork is remarkably low maintenance, requiring re-pointing only every 50 to 100 years, which means you can enjoy your stunning brick features without the worry of frequent upkeep. With these benefits, brickwork stands out as an excellent choice for both residential and commercial projects.
THE PROCESS
Building a brick wall involves a meticulous and structured bricklaying process designed to ensure quality and durability. It all begins with a thorough consultation and specification phase, where we work closely with you to understand your vision and project requirements. Following this, our team assists in material selection, providing options that fit your aesthetic preferences and budget, along with a detailed and transparent price estimate. Once the materials are finalized, we dig the footings to the required depth, ensuring a solid foundation for your wall. The bricklaying then commences, with our skilled craftsmen laying each brick with precision to create a strong and visually appealing structure. Finally, we complete the project with meticulous finishing, ensuring all details are perfect, followed by a thorough site cleanup and final inspection to guarantee your satisfaction. With our comprehensive approach, you can trust that your wall will be built to the highest standards, and you’ll understand how a brick wall is made every step of the way.

FAQs
How much will my project cost?
The cost of bricklaying can vary significantly based on the complexity of the project, the materials used, and the size of the structure. We provide detailed price estimates during the consultation phase to help you budget effectively, and closely track industry rates to provide a competitive quote.
How long does bricklaying take?
The duration of the bricklaying process depends on various factors, including the size and type of the project. Generally, smaller projects like garden walls can be completed in a few days, while larger constructions, such as boundary walls, may take several weeks. We will provide a more accurate timeline during your initial consultation.
What is the best type of brick to use?
The best bricks for your project depend on several factors, including your aesthetic preferences, budget, and the specific application. We offer a range of options, including facing bricks, reclaimed bricks, and eco-friendly choices. There are also grades of frost resistance to consider. Our team can guide you in selecting the ideal materials for your needs.
How should I maintain my new brickwork?
Brick requires very little maintenance once constructed, requiring re-pointing every 50-100 years mainly due to the slight acidity of rain. Our work is guaranteed for five years but will last much longer than that in areas with little ground movement or tree roots.
