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.

Small Brickwork Patch Up – Bricks Onsite (Quick Patch)

$300

Doncaster East VIC, Australia

12th Dec 2025

Description: I need a bricklayer to patch a hole in an internal brick wall where old flues have been removed. Dimensions: Approx. 500mm (H) x 1500 (W) Materials: I have the bricks onsite. You only need to supply the mortar (sand/cement). Finish Required: Straight Joint / Block Fill. I do not need the new bricks "toothed" or interlocked into the existing wall. I just need the opening filled securely with a straight vertical joint. The wall will eventually be covered/painted, so a structural fill is the priority over a seamless match. Site: The pipes visible in the cavity are defunct/disconnected. Requirements: Must bring own tools and mixing tub.

Crack in external brick wall – initial inspection and quote wanted

$10

Balwyn VIC 3103, Australia

5th Aug 2025

Hi, I'm looking for someone experienced with structural repairs or brick wall cracks to come and have a look at an external wall crack (possibly 10-15mm wide). Ideally, I'd like an initial on-site or photo-based inspection and a rough quote (not looking to pay $1000 up front for an engineer plan just yet). If the issue looks serious, I’ll then consider getting a formal structural plan. Located in Balwyn, crack is visible in external brick wall. Photos available. Please reply with: Your experience (especially with underpinning or brick wall repair) Whether you can do a free initial inspection or photo-based quote Estimated ballpark cost if underpinning is required Thanks!
