Bricklayers in Borehamwood

Across Borehamwood (WD6) it is mostly new-build plots, extensions and blockwork on estate housing and infill sites, along with the blockwork, lintels and openings that go with all of it. Borehamwood runs from Victorian terraces through interwar semis to newer estate and infill housing, so one week is matching brickwork into a hundred year old elevation and the next is a plot package on a development, and the two need very different mortar, bond and setting out. Every job starts with a look at the wall and the drawings rather than a price guessed over the phone.

No. Borehamwood is about 5 miles from the Watford base, well inside the daily patch, so travel is in the price and a look at the job is normally a couple of days away.

Yes. Borehamwood has a steady run of infill development, which suits the way we price plot packages. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find in brickwork around Shenley Road and what your job is likely to need before anyone orders a brick.

It does, more than people expect. Borehamwood has Victorian terraces, interwar semis and newer estate housing sitting within a mile of each other, and each one wants something different. An older solid wall wants a softer mortar and a matched joint, an interwar semi wants a facing brick chosen against seventy years of weathering, and a new plot wants gauge rods, tie centres and a cavity kept clean. The practical consequence is that the brick and the mortar get decided after we have seen the wall, not from a price list.

Usually. Matching means three things: the brick, the bond and the mortar, and the mortar is the one most people forget. We judge the mortar dry rather than wet, because it changes colour as it cures, and we lay the closest brick options up on site so you can see them in Borehamwood daylight against your own wall rather than choosing from a sample in a merchant's yard.

Borehamwood is around 5 miles from the Watford base, so getting out to look and price is quick. Actually starting depends on what is already in the diary, and we would rather give you a real date than a hopeful one. Ring and we will tell you where the next honest slot is.
