Top Bricklayer related questions
A bricklayer works with building materials, like pavers, blocks, and bricks to create structures and features like garden paths, driveways, retaining walls, and house structures.
Common bricklaying projects include building walls for houses, laying pavers for paths, building retaining walls, creating brick mailboxes, and building fireplaces. Your bricklayer may work on new residential builds, commercial buildings, renovations, and even restoration projects.
Usually, your bricklayer will supply all the tools and equipment needed for the project, but you’ll need to purchase and arrange the bricks (in consultation with your bricklayer to ensure you have the correct amount). It’s best to confirm what’s supplied when you hire your bricklayer and confirm the quote.
Qualified bricklayers have completed a 3-4 year bricklaying apprenticeship, including both onsite hands-on training, and offsite training that includes a Certificate III in Bricklaying/Blocklaying Apprenticeship.
It depends on the type of bricklaying job you need done, how much prep work is needed, and how many bricks are involved. On average, a bricklayer can lay 280-500 bricks per day. A small job might be done in a couple of hours, while a larger job (like a house-build with 10,000 bricks) may take several weeks.
The cost of hiring a bricklayer usually sits between $150-$450 for tasks posted on Airtasker. But your bricklayer may charge more or less, depending on factors like the type of job, number of bricks, and how long it’ll take them to finish.
For certain types of tasks, you may need to enquire as to what bricklaying specialist licenses may be required to undertake your task as this can vary. Please make sure that you confirm that a Tasker has the relevant licence and insurance before accepting an offer.

What does bricklaying include?
Bricklayers employ a range of skills needed to build and repair brick walls and structures. Here are some of the jobs you can ask your bricklayer to help with and what you can expect from each:
Brick walls for homes
One of the most common jobs your bricklayer can help with is building or repairing the brick walls inside and outside of your home. They’ll help you select the right brick to match your home, before laying each brick individually using a guide to ensure a strong, attractive finish. Your bricklayer will use a trowel to spread mortar on the bottom and sides of each brick, and will knock on the brick to remove any air bubbles from the mortar. Then they’ll remove the excess mortar with the trowel.
Paving
Paving is a popular option for driveways, patios, and footpaths because pavers are affordable and easy to maintain (if one breaks, you can easily replace it). Your brick paver will start by preparing the surface. They may need to excavate the area slightly and lay down a level base material like crushed rocks, followed by a mixture of sand and cement. Then they’ll lay your pavers down in the pattern you’ve chosen, before sweeping a mixture of sand and cement into the cracks, then setting them with a hose.
Block retaining walls and fences
Your bricklayer can create brick fences, retaining walls, and even garden edgings for raised garden beds. They’ll use a similar process to building standard brick walls, but they’ll need to choose bricks that can stand up to harsher, more exposed conditions. Once they’ve laid bricks to the correct height, your bricklayer may finish off with a different brick or technique to cap the structure and add interest.
Small bricklaying jobs
Your bricklayer or bricky can also help with other smaller jobs like building custom mailboxes using bricks that match your home. Your mailbox installation will involve laying the bricks using mortar between each layer. Your bricklayer will incorporate a “box” section to collect mail and add your house number. Other small bricklaying jobs include brick fireplace installations and repairs, and even rendering.

Clean bricks with a brick saw

I’ve got roughly 5-600 bricks I need cleaned of mortar, to reuse. I would like it done with a brick saw. I have cleaned about 80 using a hammer. They break easily and the mortar is very hard, so the brick saw is highly recommended. I would like it done by Thursday the 5th of November, but I’m flexible about when you do it. Every day except the evening of Halloween is fine.

Fill the hole with the bricks we’ve supplied, matching the existing pattern and joints as closely as practical. 2. Repoint the worn mortar joints. The affected area is around the back wall of the house.

Build up and render a finger wall
$500
Cottesloe WA 6011, Australia
12th Oct 2026
We have a finger wall which is needs to be built up to comply with wa pool fence standards. The current wall is 1135mm and we need to raise it to ~1225mm. The finger wall is ~300mm by 195mm. Quite small. We would then need to add a light render to it. So the requirements are to build the wall up about 90mm and render. The job is available to do at anytime from 7am to 7pm. We have plenty of used masonry bricks that can be used but you'll need to cut them to size.
Great. Thanks for work

New Farm QLD 4005, Australia

Finish removing mortafill/sealing brick fireplace Description: Looking for an experienced bricklayer or someone with repointing experience to remove the yellow mortar an internal brick fireplace and fix up the cement and then make the hole thing look uniform Some of the work has been started by my husband but needs someone with a good eye and who won’t damage anything else as it’s a new home to: * Remove the yellow mortar and bring back to as it is above. * Tool and smooth all joints so they have a consistent finish. * Clean excess mortar from the face of the bricks. * Blend the new pointing as neatly as possible with the existing brickwork. Need to seal the hole fireplace when finished removing morta so it’s uniform and dust doesn’t come off it This is an older brick fireplace, so experience with restoration or repointing would be preferred. Please quote for labour only. I can provide more photos (attached) and happy to answer any questions. My husband can help, he has already started. The middle black part doesn’t need to be done and it’s only the front part of the fireplace and the sides. This can be done in a few hours hence the price , basically all you are doing is removing the mortafill and sealing the whole fireplace
Daniel is a great worker! Very precise and attentive! Very happy with the work he has done

We have a brick step leading up to our terrace house that is 40 deep and 80cm wide. I need that step extended to 80cm deep, and an additional step created on top. The aim is to reduce the height of the step by creating 2 shallower steps, as it’s hard for my elderly mother to manage the current height. I can supply the bricks or you can. Need it done in the next approx 2 weeks. I also need a handrail installed but we could discuss that if you’re interested. Thank you.
Respectful, communication was great, no fuss and job was done so quickly and well! Highly recommend. Thank you!
