Hiring a Bricklayer in Auburn

Before hiring any bricklayer in Auburn, use this checklist to protect yourself and ensure you're working with a properly licensed and insured professional.

  1. Ask to see examples of their mortar joint finishing — Mortar joint style (ironed, raked, flush, or struck) dramatically changes the look and weather resistance of a brick wall. Ask the bricklayer which joint profile they recommend for your application and request photos of completed walls using that profile. Inconsistent jointing stands out immediately on a finished wall.
  2. Confirm they understand the structural requirements for your wall — Retaining walls over a certain height (typically 800 mm–1 m depending on the state) require engineering design, and masonry fences in wind-prone areas need core-filled and reinforced piers at specific intervals. Ask whether the bricklayer will work from engineer-supplied specifications and whether they have experience with reinforced blockwork.
  3. Check they hold a QBCC or equivalent bricklaying licence — In Queensland, bricklaying and blockwork over $3,300 (inc. GST) requires a QBCC licence. NSW requires a licence for masonry work over $5,000. Verify the licence is current on the state register. Unlicensed bricklayers cannot be pursued through the state licensing body if defects emerge.
  4. Ask about mortar mix and brick compatibility — Different bricks require different mortar mixes. Soft heritage bricks require a lime-rich mortar, while modern clay bricks use a standard cement-sand mix. Using too-hard mortar on soft bricks causes the bricks to spall and crack. A knowledgeable bricklayer will specify the mortar mix to suit your bricks.
  5. Confirm they will install adequate weep holes and damp-proof courses — Brick veneer walls require weep holes at the base of each storey to allow moisture to drain from behind the brickwork, and a damp-proof course to prevent rising damp. A bricklayer who does not install or spaces these elements incorrectly is creating a moisture problem that may not become apparent for years.
Pro Tip

Get at least three quotes and compare not just price, but response time, warranty on workmanship, and whether the quote includes parts.

Red Flags to Watch For
  • Mortar joints visibly inconsistent in thickness and alignment — Standard mortar joints should be 10 mm thick and consistent throughout the wall. Joints that vary from 5 mm to 20 mm, bricks that are visibly out of level, or courses that wander indicate a lack of care that affects both appearance and structural integrity. Check examples of the bricklayer's previous work before engaging them.
  • No weep holes at the base of brick veneer walls — Weep holes are required at the base of every brick veneer wall to allow trapped moisture to escape. Missing weep holes cause water to pool behind the brickwork, leading to timber frame rot, mould, and eventually structural damage. A bricklayer who skips weep holes is violating the National Construction Code.
  • Builds retaining walls without engineering input when required — Masonry retaining walls over approximately 800 mm in height generally require engineering design specifying footing depth, reinforcement, drainage, and construction method. A bricklayer who builds a tall retaining wall "by feel" without engineering drawings risks wall failure, which can damage neighbouring property and endanger lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does bricklaying cost per square metre in Australia?

Bricklaying labour costs typically range from $40–$80 per square metre for standard clay bricks laid in stretcher bond, depending on the complexity and region. Stone or face-brick feature walls with detailed patterns cost $80–$150 or more per square metre. Material costs are additional — standard clay bricks run $1.00–$2.50 each, while premium face bricks can exceed $4 each.

What causes cracks in brickwork?

Common causes include ground movement (particularly reactive clay soils that swell and shrink with moisture changes), foundation settlement, thermal expansion, tree root activity, and inadequate articulation joints. Stair-step cracks following mortar joints usually indicate differential foundation movement. Vertical cracks through bricks suggest more severe structural issues. Cracks wider than 5 mm should be assessed by a structural engineer.

Can cracked or damaged brickwork be repaired?

Yes. Tuckpointing (removing and replacing deteriorated mortar joints) can restore ageing brickwork. Individual damaged bricks can be cut out and replaced. For structural cracking, the underlying cause must be addressed first — often through underpinning or tree removal — before the brickwork is repaired. Cosmetic repairs without fixing the cause will simply crack again.

What is the difference between brick veneer and double brick construction?

Brick veneer is a single layer of bricks attached to a timber or steel frame with metal wall ties — the frame carries the structural load and the bricks serve as cladding. Double brick (also called cavity brick) uses two layers of bricks with a cavity between them, and the bricks themselves are the structural element. Most modern Australian homes are brick veneer, while homes built before the 1970s in many states are more likely to be double brick.

How do I verify a bricklayer's licence in NSW?

You can verify any bricklayer's licence using TradieVerify's free search tool or directly through the NSW Fair Trading register. Enter the bricklayer's name or licence number to confirm their licence status, class, and any disciplinary history.
