What is a Brickwork Contractor?

Brickwork Contractors are specialists in the construction of domestic and commercial buildings, including but not limited to foundations, walls and decorative masonry.

They get involved in new construction, renovation, and restoration work, and specialise in providing services for different types of projects including residential, commercial, or industrial. In order to operate as a Commercial Brickwork Contractor, you must have a certification from an accredited body.

The importance of Bricklaying

Bricklaying is a trade which has been around for centuries and is one of the most important trades in the construction industry.

Brickwork contractors are responsible for erecting brick structures such as buildings, walls and chimneys. They are essential for house building, as they are responsible for laying bricks and mortar in order to create a strong foundation and exterior walls.

Bricklayers must have knowledge of how to make mortar, how to use different types of bricks, and what type of mortar should be used in different circumstances.

Demand for Commercial Brickwork Services

In 2022, there has been an increase in demand for brickwork contractors due to the increase in housing prices and construction. This has led to an increased demand for bricklayers, which will be met by brickwork contractors who have a more diversified skill set than ever before.

With the expectation that number of UK homeowners will likely increase from today’s 27 million to somewhere between 33-36 million over the next 20 years, it’s imperative that bricklaying contractors keep an eye on trends in supply and demand, so they can adapt their business strategies in time to meet these challenges — and opportunities.
