Bricklayers Perth

Bricks Fix WA is renowned across Perth for its meticulous brick and mortar restoration, but our expertise extends far beyond repair. We are professional Perth bricklayers, offering comprehensive masonry services for all new construction and extension projects.

We apply the same precision, technical knowledge, and quality materials used in heritage preservation to every new build. Whether you are laying the foundation for a new home, adding a seamless extension, or constructing structural and decorative walls, our skilled team guarantees craftsmanship that is structurally sound, aesthetically pleasing, and built to withstand the WA climate for decades to come.

Our team provides the full spectrum of bricklaying and block-laying services for both residential and commercial projects. We manage all aspects of the masonry work, from the initial site setup to the final finish.

We partner with owner-builders and home renovation contractors to lay the structural backbone of new properties. This involves:

• Working from architectural plans to set out the footings

• Lay the essential base courses

• Apply the Damp Proof Course (DPC)

• Complete all internal and external load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls

Our focus is on achieving perfect vertical plumb, consistent coursing, and structural integrity throughout the build.

Integrating new brickwork with an existing structure is a specialised skill. Our expertise in repair and restoration means we are adept at brick matching and mortar matching, ensuring that your new extension is indistinguishable from the original building. We carefully manage expansion joints and structural connections to guarantee a unified and long-lasting addition.

We construct all forms of structural masonry, which demands uncompromising attention to detail. This includes vital load-bearing walls and necessary retaining walls. For retaining structures, we ensure the correct use of materials and engineering to manage soil pressure and drainage effectively, preventing common issues like bowing or cracking.

Brickwork is not just structural; it is a key architectural feature. We specialise in decorative bricklaying for both interior and exterior applications. This includes:

• Aesthetic Bonds: Laying bricks in various patterns such as Flemish Bond, English Bond, Stack Bond, or Header Bond to create visual interest.

• Bagging and Rendering Preparation: Laying blocks or bricks with the precise preparation required for subsequent finishes.

• Curved Walls and Piers: Executing complex designs that require advanced masonry skills.

What distinguishes Bricks Fix WA as leading Perth bricklayers is our unparalleled technical knowledge gained through years of specialising in brick repair and restoration. We don't just lay bricks; we understand the science of masonry failure.

Our daily work involves repairing defects like fretting mortar and brick decay caused by rising damp and salt attack. This unique perspective informs our new bricklaying process, allowing us to implement preventative measures from the ground up:

1. Correct DPC Installation: Ensuring the Damp Proof Course is correctly positioned and sealed to block moisture migration.

2. Material Selection: Advising on and using materials specifically suited for the Perth environment, which is often affected by sandy soil and coastal proximity.

3. Mortar Chemistry: Precisely formulating mortar mixes, including the appropriate blend of cement, sand, and lime, to ensure optimal strength, workability, and breathability where necessary, thereby improving the wall's ability to manage moisture over time.

Every project is undertaken with strict adherence to the National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant Australian Standards (e.g., AS 3700 for Masonry Structures). This commitment covers all technical aspects:

• Accuracy: Ensuring brick courses are consistently level and square.

• Bond Consistency: Maintaining the correct brick overlap (lap) as per the specified bond pattern.

• Joint Finishing: Applying professional joint profiles (e.g., struck or rolled) for durability and appearance.

By building with an understanding of masonry failure, we eliminate the common oversights that lead to expensive repairs down the line. Our approach saves our clients time, money, and stress, guaranteeing a finish that is not only beautiful but structurally robust.

We are proficient in working with the full range of masonry units common in Western Australia:

• Clay Bricks: The most common choice, offering excellent thermal properties and a wide variety of colours and textures.

• Concrete Blocks/Bricks: Often used for foundations, retaining walls, and rendering substrates due to their strength and cost-effectiveness.

• Limestone Blocks: Handling the unique laying and pointing requirements of natural and reconstituted limestone.

From the material sourcing (including difficult-to-find matches) to the final tooling of the mortar joints, Bricks Fix WA provides a seamless, professional bricklaying service that guarantees a high-quality build and an excellent finish for your project.
