Bricklaying

At SSS Design and Build, we consider bricklaying to be an art that showcases exemplary work and talent when completed with precision. We take immense pride in delivering high-quality bricklaying services, offering a range of options to meet our clients’ unique needs. Our bricklaying services include, but are not limited to:

  • General bricklaying
  • Angled bricklaying (special cutting)
  • Arches
  • Block laying
  • Padstone and air brick laying
  • Brick soldier laying

We are committed to using only 1st class bricks for our projects. The distinction between 1st and 2nd class bricks lies in their quality and cut. 1st class bricks are flawlessly cut, without imperfections, making them aesthetically pleasing and easier for our skilled bricklayers to work with. On the other hand, 2nd class bricks have lower-quality cuts with a parallelogram shape, which can cause challenges during laying. To ensure the highest standard for our clients who seek the best homes, we steer clear of 2nd class bricks and opt exclusively for 1st class bricks, as our service is dedicated to crafting bespoke solutions.

The choice of brick is not the end of the material journey in our quest to develop your ideal shell. The mortar mix, comprising sand, cement, and a touch of plasticiser, also plays a vital role. We use only high-quality sand sourced from premium quarries through our partners at EH Smith. A lower-quality sand can lead to wastage, proving costly for both builders and clients in the long run. Our commitment is to do it right the first time, ensuring a durable and cost-effective result.

One of the challenges in bricklaying arises when dealing with angled cuts. For side extensions that change in size from front to back, precise calculations are required to find the angle of change. Our expert brick-cutter, Martin in Tamworth, skillfully performs the cut-and-bond process, ensuring that each brick fits perfectly to achieve a seamless and visually appealing result. Without this attention to detail, a standard brick laid in such scenarios would result in a significantly larger mortar line, compromising the aesthetics of the project.

At SSS Design and Build, we value trust and take pride in our workmanship. We have handpicked and vetted our bricklayers who possess the right tools and expertise to create straight and flush walls with matching mortar lines. With their trusted trowels, builders’ lines, and profiles, our bricklayers ensure precise craftsmanship. Their dedicated mates are responsible for consistent and accurate mixes, guaranteeing uniformity in color and consistency throughout the project.

When you choose SSS Design and Build for your bricklaying needs, you can rest assured that our skilled team will deliver exceptional results, transforming your vision into a reality with attention to detail and meticulous craftsmanship.
