Local Insight

London bricklayers charge £250–£400 per day. London stock brick (the distinctive yellow/brown brick) is widely available from reclamation yards, but matching old brickwork requires skill. For period properties, lime mortar is often more appropriate than cement mortar — it allows the building to breathe. Always check if you need planning permission for walls over 1 metre adjacent to a highway or 2 metres elsewhere.
