Laying brick and block is where the craft is most visible. Every course has to be level, every lead has to be plumb, and the bond pattern has to run true from the footing to the top. Running bond is standard; Flemish bond alternates headers and stretchers for visual weight; stack bond requires control joints because it has no interlocking strength. Each choice affects how the wall looks, how it drains, and how it holds up structurally. We build new walls for privacy, structure, outdoor living and home additions, and we lay them the way a brick wall is supposed to be laid.

When to Call for Brick & Block Laying in Surrey
A new addition that needs to match the existing brick
Matching coursing, mortar colour and bond pattern is the difference between an addition that looks original and one that looks bolted on.
Wanting a real boundary instead of a fence
A brick or block wall cuts noise, lasts indefinitely and never needs painting or replacing boards.
An outdoor living build with permanent structures
BBQ surrounds, pizza ovens and built-in seating are masonry projects. They need proper footings and the right materials to handle heat and weather.
Our Brick & Block Laying Process in Surrey
- 1
Footing and layout
We set the footing size and depth for the load, then dry-lay the first course to confirm spacing and bond before any mortar is mixed.
- 2
Build the leads
Corner leads go up first, checked for level and plumb at every course. Everything else runs off the leads.
- 3
Fill and course
Each course is laid to line, joints kept consistent in thickness, brick checked for level in both directions.
- 4
Point, tool and clean
Mortar joints are struck to the right profile while still green, the wall is brushed down, and any mortar smear is removed with a diluted acid wash.
