Highlights
"Really happy with the quality of workmanship and overall finish. Top Brickwork were tidy and their communication was really good. I would certainly recommend them."
"Fast reliable service from Joe. Need a hole outside to be filled and matched the colour of our bricks perfectly. Also bricked an old Victoria fire place up"
"Water was coming in the front window after the torrential rain we have had lately, Bricklayer came and looked at what needed doing, an estimate was issued promptly, the price was acceptable. Work was carried out a week later, very pleased with the standard & professionalism, very nice person."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
