What Hunter Valley clients say
Five star reviews straight from our Google Business Profile.
Graham came and quoted a pizza oven and was super quick with the quote and all the details! Results were even better than imaged! Highly recommend Graham
We couldn’t be happier with the work GDK Bricklaying did for us. He did the brickwork for our new gate and it looks fantastic. His workmanship was excellent, he turned up exactly when he said he would and was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. It’s so nice to find a reliable tradesman who takes pride in his work. We would happily recommend Graham to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. Thank you Graham!
GDK Bricklaying did a great job on our retaining wall. Graham turned up when he said he would, worked hard and kept us updated throughout the job. The finished wall looks really neat and has made a big difference to the yard. We’d happily use him again and would recommend GDK Bricklaying to anyone needing retaining wall or brickwork done around the Hunter Valley.
We couldn't be happier with the feature brick wall GDK Bricklaying built inside our home. From the quality of the brickwork to his attention to detail and precision were outstanding. The result has completely transformed the space and exceeded what I had expected - Graham was professional, reliable and took great pride in his workmanship from start to finish (something I cannot say for other trades we've had in and around our home). If you're looking for a bricklayer in the Hunter Valley for feature brickwork, feature walls or quality residential bricklaying, I highly recommend GDK Bricklaying - I would not hesitate to use Graham again.

Bricklaying questions we get asked
How long has GDK Bricklaying been bricklaying in the Hunter Valley?
Graham has been bricklaying in the Hunter for over 20 years, and that experience goes into every job. That time has been spent on Hunter Valley sites — new home estates around Cessnock and Maitland, remedial and heritage brickwork, retaining walls on sloping blocks and commercial and multi-unit builds into Newcastle.
How much does bricklaying cost in the Hunter Valley?
Bricklaying costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the job, access, scaffolding requirements, brick type, site conditions and the amount of cutting or detailed work involved. At GDK Bricklaying, we focus on delivering high-quality brickwork while keeping our pricing fair and reasonable. Once we have reviewed your plans or inspected the site, we provide a clear quote based on the complete scope of the work.
What areas do you service?
We are based in Cessnock and work across Cessnock, Maitland, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the wider Hunter Valley including Kurri Kurri, Branxton, Pokolbin and Singleton.
How long does a quote take?
Send through your plans or photos and we normally have a written quote back to you within a few days. Site visits for repair work are usually booked within a week.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. GDK Bricklaying operates under ABN 17 695 770 818 and carries public liability and workers compensation insurance. Certificates of currency are available on request for builders and commercial clients.
Do you work with builders as well as homeowners?
Both. We contract to builders and developers on new home and multi-unit programs, and we work directly with homeowners on repairs, fireplaces, retaining walls and extensions.
How long should brickwork last?
Properly laid brickwork with correct ties, weep holes and articulation joints should outlast the rest of the house. Most brick problems we repair come from missing articulation joints, blocked cavities or rusted steel lintels rather than the bricks themselves.
