Garden wall building, repairing, repointing and retaining in Stoke Newington Central
" Our Victorian garden wall had a big crack running right through it. We wanted to preserve the decorative brickwork and rebuild the broken section in the style of the original. Paul did a good restoration job in appropriate materials, using the old bricks from the wall where possible and reclaimed Victorian bricks of a similar type otherwise. We are really pleased with the result. He also took care to consult us to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted. We have a Victorian terrace so Paul had to take bricks etc through the house, but he arrived with a stack of dustsheets for our hall and kitchen and took care to keep any residue from the work to a minimum. He also checked over our house and did a few bits of repointing and repairing elsewhere while he was there. His prices were in line with others, so I've given him five for value, as he is clearly competent and experienced. I would hire him again. "

Bricklayers

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

You may want to use a recommended bricklayer for the following projects to gain peace of mind and a professional result:

• Building walls
• Repairing walls
• Internal and external brickwork
• Decorative brickwork

Whatever you a bricklayer for, there are great bricklayers that will be keen to work with you on Rated People.

Bricklaying jobs and services

If you’re planning on having some brickwork done, such as repairing an old section of wall or building a new fireplace, the best thing to do is to call in a professional brick layer.

Brick layers

Bricklayers are skilled in working with a range of different building materials, and may work alone or as part of a team, depending on the complexity of the job and the amount of labour needed. Their role includes the preparation, laying and finishing of bricks, stones and other types of masonry. There are many different types of brick layer jobs, each of which requires a high level of manual skill and precision.

Types of brickwork jobs

One of the most common brickwork repair jobs is repointing. This is required when the cement in between the bricks is damaged or degraded, and it becomes necessary to replace it to keep the brickwork safe and weatherproof. If you’re changing the layout of your garden or replacing an old fence, you may want to employ the services of a brick layer to build some new garden walls. Stone cladding for exterior walls and stonework inside the home, such as the creation of arches and fireplaces, are also part of a brick layer’s daily work.

Popular types of brickwork

There are many different types of brick, some traditional in style while others have a more modern inspiration. Stock bricks are one of the more popular traditional styles, while Fletton and wirecut facing bricks are available in a wide range of colours and textures. Engineering bricks are exceptionally hardwearing and often used for retaining walls. Handmade bricks are an attractive and unique choice for anyone with a little more money to spend.
