  • Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
  • Run the Cowboy Checker before you commit to anyone.

How to judge a bricklayer / mason

Independent, no-ads guidance — the trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each trader’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

  • Check they hold a CSCS Blue (or Gold) card — this proves they passed a bricklaying NVQ and a construction health and safety test.
  • Verify they have public liability insurance; if they employ anyone, ask for employers' liability too — no proof means no comeback if a wall collapses.
  • Look for FMB membership or TrustMark registration, since there is no statutory register for bricklayers — these are the main independent vetting schemes.
  • Ask for photos of comparable recent work (extension, repointing, or heritage brick), especially if your property is pre-1919 or in a conservation area.

Warning signs of a cowboy

  • Asks for a large cash-only deposit with no written quote — this is the most common way rogue bricklayers disappear mid-job.
  • Won't confirm they have public liability insurance or brushes off the question — no insurance means you're liable if someone is injured.
  • No verifiable reviews on Checkatrade, MyBuilder, or TrustATrader and can't name any recent local jobs — volume of verified reviews is the main trust proxy.
  • Quotes verbally with no written breakdown — without it, you have no anchor when unexpected 'extras' appear on the final bill.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Can I see your CSCS card number so I can check it on the CSCS website?
  • Do you hold FMB membership or TrustMark registration, and can you show me your current certificate?
  • If this job needs building regulations approval, will you handle the building control application and make sure I get a completion certificate?
  • If my property is older or in a conservation area: have you used lime mortar before, and do you know the specification required here?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy bricklayer / mason?
Compare the public evidence on each profile — how many independent reviews they have and across how many named platforms, the rating and how recent it is, any verified credentials, and the company record. A bricklayer / mason backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one with a single listing.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend bricklayers / masons for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Bricklayers / masons are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence — no one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
Where do the reviews come from?
They're imported from named public review platforms and always shown with the source named — they aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
What should I check before hiring a bricklayer / mason?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the bricklayer / mason, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence — it doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
