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.

Rebuild damaged brick driveway gate pillar/pier — Alphington

$10

Alphington VIC, Australia

24th Apr 2026

Ignore budget as looking for a quote. I need a quote from a bricklayer/masonry contractor to rebuild a damaged brick driveway gate pillar/pier at the front of a residential property in Alphington. The pillar was knocked over by a reversing delivery vehicle and has separated from its base. I need it rebuilt securely and matched to the existing brickwork as closely as possible. Existing bricks may be reusable, but advice is needed. This is for an insurance claim, so I require a written quote with labour, materials and scope clearly listed. Ignore budget as looking for a quote. Please advise availability to inspect and an accurate quote.

Stabilise brick wall moving outward - temporary fix

$400

Fitzroy VIC, Australia

29th Mar 2026

I have an older brick house in Fitzroy where the top of one external brick wall is slowly moving outward. This has resulted in: • a small gap forming between the timber wall plate and the brickwork • minor cracking above and around a window • a visible vertical separation at the internal corner The movement appears to be at the top of the wall (likely rotation outward), rather than just a loose timber connection. I’m looking for an experienced carpenter or small builder to install a simple restraint to stop any further movement for the short term, as we will be undertaking a full renovation later this year. Likely scope: • install threaded rods or masonry anchors through the timber wall plate into the brickwork • pull the wall plate back tight to the wall • install truss ties / cyclone ties / Pryda triple grips if required • ensure the wall is restrained and stable This does not need to be a permanent engineered solution - just a practical stabilisation. Site conditions: • single storey house • access via ladder (4.5m) • work area above a window internally • photos attached Please supply materials (anchors, chemset, brackets etc) and include in your price. Please confirm how you would approach the stabilisation in your offer.
