Bricklaying questions we get asked

How much does bricklaying cost in the Hunter Valley?

Most bricklaying is priced per thousand bricks laid, and the rate moves with access, scaffold, brick type and the amount of cutting and detail work. A straightforward single storey house is far cheaper per brick than a feature fireplace. We quote after seeing the plans or the site so the number you get is the number you pay.

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.
