Professional Bricklaying & Structural Brickwork for Shepton Mallet Properties

Brick Builds provides expert bricklaying as a standalone trade service across Somerset — you do not need to book a full build or extension to use our bricklayers. True structural brickwork is a dying skill, and it is one that our bricklaying team has practised and refined over 17 years. We carry out all forms of bricklaying and structural masonry, from complex arched openings and decorative bond patterns to load-bearing wall construction, chimney stack rebuilding and the repair of failing brickwork on period properties in Shepton Mallet and the surrounding area.

Our bricklayers are among the few tradespeople in Somerset with the skills to match existing brickwork exactly — sourcing the correct bond pattern, mortar mix, pointing profile and brick type to ensure any new bricklaying is visually indistinguishable from the original. This is particularly important in conservation areas and for listed buildings across Shepton Mallet and the wider Somerset region, where any mismatch is immediately visible and potentially in breach of planning conditions.

Our bricklaying services in Shepton Mallet include new-build structural brickwork, garden and boundary walls, skin repairs, stepped flashings, parapet walls, chimney stacks, ornamental corbelling and specialist decorative work — booked as a standalone job or as part of a larger project. If you have a brickwork problem on your Somerset property — whether it is a bulging wall, spalling facing bricks, failed mortar joints or a crumbling chimney — our bricklayers will survey it, explain it clearly, and fix it properly.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bricklaying & Structural Brickwork in Shepton Mallet

Do you offer bricklaying as a standalone service in Shepton Mallet, or only as part of a full build?
Bricklaying is available as a standalone trade service in Shepton Mallet — you do not need to book a full build, extension or renovation to use our bricklayers. Whether it is a garden wall, a chimney rebuild or a single brickwork repair, our bricklayers will quote and carry out the job on its own.
Can you match existing brickwork on my Somerset property?
Yes — brick matching is one of our bricklayers’ specialist skills. We assess the existing bond pattern, brick dimensions, colour variation and mortar profile before sourcing materials from specialist reclamation suppliers. The result on your Shepton Mallet property should be indistinguishable from the original.
My chimney is crumbling — can you repair it in Shepton Mallet?
Yes. Our bricklayers repair and rebuild chimney stacks throughout Somerset — including repointing, brick replacement, lead flashing renewal and pot removal or replacement. We access all chimney stacks safely using scaffolding or MEWP platforms and provide a full photographic report of the condition before quoting.
What causes brick spalling on Somerset properties?
Brick spalling — where the face of the brick flakes or crumbles — is typically caused by frost damage combined with moisture ingress, or by the use of an inappropriately hard cement mortar on a softer traditional brick. In Somerset this is a common issue on Victorian and Edwardian properties. Our bricklayers assess the cause before recommending the correct repair approach.
How much does chimney repointing cost in Shepton Mallet?
Chimney repointing in Shepton Mallet typically costs £400–£1,200 depending on access requirements and the extent of deterioration. A full chimney stack rebuild costs £800–£3,500. We provide a free survey and fixed-price quote — call 01460 353121.
