Bricklayers

One of the best places to start, is to check customer reviews online. This will give you an idea of the level of service you can expect. You can also ask around for recommendations from friends and family. If you can, it is also a good idea to see some examples of the bricklayer’s previous work. This way you can have a better idea of their skill level/their specialities and whether their skills match the project you want hire them for.

The price of hiring a bricklayer depends on the type of job you hire them for. Typical cost per day is around £150-£200, but this will be more if the project demands more than one person working on it.

Not all bricklaying projects will require planning permission. For example, it is unlikely that you will need a planning permission for a new garden wall, or a pizza oven, but if you are planning to build an expansion to your house, the likelihood is that planning permission is needed. Always check with your local council what the rules are, before starting a larger project.
