Who we are
Skilled Bricklaying for London Homes and Sites
Bricklaying looks simple until it isn’t — a wall out of true, a mismatched mortar mix, or pointing done in the wrong weather will show up within a year. Getting it right means understanding bonding patterns, damp-proof detailing, movement joints and how a new section needs to tie into what’s already standing.
Dakus Construction provides bricklayers for everything from a single garden wall to full extension shells and structural brickwork on larger builds. We work directly for homeowners, and alongside architects, developers and other trades on bigger projects across the capital.
We cover all of London — from the City and North London through to South and West London — with especially deep experience in East London, where we’re based nearby. If you’re unsure whether we reach your address, call us and ask.

What we do
Our Bricklaying Services in London
From a single repair to a full extension shell, every job below is carried out by our own bricklayers — not passed on to an unknown subcontractor.
New Brickwork & Extensions
Full brickwork shells for single and double-storey extensions, laid to match the existing house and signed off to current building regulations.
Repointing & Repair
Raking out and repointing failed mortar, replacing spalled bricks, and repairing cracked or bulging brickwork before it becomes a bigger problem.
Garden Walls & Boundary Walls
Freestanding and retaining garden walls, boundary and party walls, built with correct footings and piers for long-term stability.
Chimney Rebuilds
Partial and full chimney stack rebuilds, including flaunching and flashing detail, on London’s terraced and semi-detached housing stock.
Brick Matching & Restoration
Sourcing and matching brick type, bond and mortar colour for Victorian and Edwardian properties, so new work is invisible against the old.
Structural Brickwork & Building Regs
Load-bearing walls, lintels and structural openings built correctly first time, with the paperwork building control asks for.
Project experience
Types of Brickwork Projects We Take On
London’s building stock is hugely varied, and brickwork jobs range from a quick repair to a full structural shell. Here’s what we’re most often called out for.
01
Rear & Side Return Extensions
The classic London terrace upgrade. New brickwork built to tie seamlessly into the existing house, with attention to damp-proofing and movement joints.
02
Period Property Repairs
Victorian and Edwardian houses across London often need lime mortar repointing and matched brick, done carefully to preserve character and value.
03
Loft & Roofline Brickwork
Gable end brickwork, parapet walls and chimney work that comes with loft conversions and roof alterations.
04
New Build & Infill Sites
Full structural brickwork for new builds and infill plots, working to architect drawings and building control sign-off.
05
Garden & Boundary Works
Retaining walls, raised beds, garden rooms and boundary walls for gardens across London’s terraced and suburban streets.
06
Landlord & Pre-Sale Repairs
Repointing and brick repairs that need doing before a sale or a new tenancy, scoped to fix the issues that actually affect value and safety.
Budgeting
What Does Bricklaying Cost in London?
No honest bricklayer can price a job without seeing the wall, the access, and what needs matching. What we can do is be upfront about what actually drives the figure.
Four things move a brickwork budget more than anything else: the scale of the job — a single repair versus a full extension shell — site access and scaffolding needs, whether the brick and mortar need to be specially sourced or matched, and whether structural or building regs sign-off is required.

You then get a written, itemised, fixed-price quote — labour and materials broken out line by line — so there’s no ambiguity about what you’re paying for. The price we agree is the price you pay unless you ask us to change the scope.

Questions
Bricklaying FAQs
How much do bricklayers in London charge?
It depends on the scale of the job, access, and whether the brick or mortar needs matching. We provide a fixed, itemised quote after a free site visit so there are no surprises.
How long does a bricklaying job take?
A garden wall or repointing job might take a few days. A full extension shell typically takes several weeks, depending on size and weather. We give you a realistic programme with your quote.
Can you match the existing brick on a period property?
Yes — brick matching and restoration on Victorian and Edwardian properties is one of our specialisms. We source brick and mix mortar to match the original as closely as possible.
Do I need planning permission for a boundary wall?
Most garden walls fall under permitted development, but height limits apply — generally 1 metre next to a highway and 2 metres elsewhere, with tighter rules in conservation areas. We can advise during your site visit.
Are your bricklayers insured and qualified?
Yes — all work is carried out by our own experienced bricklayers, fully covered by public liability insurance and insurance-backed guarantees, with structural work signed off to building regulations.
