Bricklaying

House brickwork, extensions, fences and feature courses, every brick laid by hand.

Brick is the trade I came up in. Twenty years on the trowel, laying for owner-builders, volume builders, architects and homeowners across Australia, and now the Top End.

A full house in brick, a single feature wall, a boundary fence or a run of piers: the standard doesn't change. Plumb, level, gauged, and pointed clean.

What it covers

  • House brickwork and brick veneer
  • Extensions and additions tied into existing brick
  • Brick fences, boundary and screen walls
  • Piers, columns and letterboxes
  • Feature courses, headers, soldier courses and corbelling
  • Matched brick and mortar for repairs and additions
The Top End

Built for the Top End

Darwin brickwork cops the wet, the heat and cyclonic wind. I gauge for movement, flash and weep where it matters, and work to engineer detailing on anything structural. The wall stays true after a few wets.

FAQ

Common questions

  • Do you lay brick fences and boundary walls?
    Yes. Free-standing brick fences, screen walls and capped boundary walls, with footings and reinforcement to suit the height and the ground.
  • Can you match brick on an extension?
    Yes. I source the closest brick available and match the mortar colour and joint profile, so the addition reads as part of the original.
  • Do you take on small brick jobs?
    Piers, letterboxes, a single feature wall: yes, same care as a full house. Smaller jobs are usually payable on completion.
