Pricing guide

Cost is driven by the complexity of the repair and the materials required. Simple domestic fixes are typically less intensive than heritage matching—which often needs reclaimed bricks and fine pointing—or structural work that may require temporary propping and engineer input. Callout and labour rates, after‑hours attendance, material sourcing and any waste removal can also affect the final quote.

  • Repair complexity and extent

    Minor patching or single‑course repairs are usually quicker than partial rebuilds or extensive replacement that increase labour time.

  • Heritage matching and finish

    Jobs needing reclaimed bricks, lime mortar or specialist pointing typically take longer and require more careful finishing.

  • Structural requirements and propping

    Work that needs temporary support, lintel replacement or engineer input generally expands the scope and coordination required.

  • Material sourcing and special items

    Common bricks and mortar are often included in a basic repair, but specialist bricks or hardware usually need separate sourcing and allowances.

  • Timing, access and after‑hours work

    Site access, surface protection and attendance outside standard hours can affect how long the job takes and the quote provided.
