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.

Brick layer, leveling and laying first layer of blocks

$1,200

Kenmore QLD, Australia

21st Aug 2023

We are building a ~22m retaining wall in front of a house with most of it 800mm height, and a 1.2m width stairs, and an external corner. There is a section that goes from 4 blocks to one block (stepped on slope) We are using Heron blocks (which dont require mortar and are interlocking), and filling with blue stone. We have trenched and filled it with compacted road base (~150mm). We found putting the first layer properly leveled and straight is challenging for us and takes too long. Were thinking to add some cement or mortar under the first layer by a brick layer?! two poeple are there to help, you need to level (bring your own laser leveling), and lay the bricks and steps. If u let me know how much mortar is needed I can buy . (The most important one for us is the first layer and want it to be perfectly straight, leveled and stable) We will help with digging, moving gravels, blocks or road base or cement. Looking to find someone well experienced and preferably worked with heron blocks before. Want to do this on Tuesday 8am-5pm (and if not finished will continue on Wednesday and Thursday) If you can price me for laying the first blocks, laser leveled and steps done (ready for 400*400 pavers) would be great. Please tell me about your experience and when you can work, and how you would do this job. - Due date: Needs to be done on Tuesday, August 22, 2023
