Sal and Luca did our front fence and letterbox. Footings one week, bricks the next like they said. Matched the bricks on the house really well and cleaned everything up, you wouldnt know they were here.
DDaniel K.Camden
Cracked wall and a rusted lintel over the garage. Sal came out the same week and was upfront that we needed an engineer to look first, which we appreciated. Repair looks great and the mortar matches.

Retaining wall down the back of our block. Good price and good communication. Bit of a wait on the certifier but thats not on them. Would use again.

Repairs and repointing
From photos
Send photos first. Most repairs we can price roughly from them, then confirm on site.
House lots for builders
Per thousand
Priced per thousand bricks laid, from your plans. For builders
Every price includes GST. Site visits and quotes are free.
A longer frontage, a slope, a lot of cutting, or knocking out an old fence first changes the price. We put it in the written quote before we start, never after.
Matching your bricks and mortar
A repair or an extension is judged on whether it matches. The mortar matters as much as the brick.
Same brick, five mortar colours. We build you a sample like this before a fence or a repair.
IronedCurved in. The usual on new homes.
RakedSet back, for strong shadow lines.
FlushLevel with the face. Common on older homes.
StruckSloped to shed water off the joint.
Bring us a brick, or the nameIf your builder left the brick name, we can often still get it. If it’s no longer made, we look for recycled bricks or the closest current one.
An exact match isn’t always possibleOld bricks weather. We show you a sample panel first, so you see it before it’s built, not after.
How a job runs
Send photos and a rough sizeThrough the quote form or by text. Show us the spot and anything we need to match.
We come and lookFree, usually within the week. We measure, check access and footings, and ask about approval.
You get it in writingBrick, mortar colour and joint, footings, capping, clean-down, rubbish, the total and a start date.
We lay it and clean upFootings first, then the brickwork. Bricks cleaned down, rubbish gone, paths hosed off.
Heavy rain stops bricklaying. If a day moves, we text you that morning.
Council, certifiers and engineers
We don’t guess at the rules for your block. Here’s who decides.
Approval for a fence or wallYour council or a registered certifier decides. If it might need one, we tell you to ask before we quote.

Questions
Do I need council approval for a brick fence or retaining wall?
Sometimes. Your council or a registered certifier decides, depending on the wall and your block. If we think yours might need approval, we tell you before we quote, and we work to whatever they approve.
Can you match my bricks?
Usually close. Give us the brick name if you have it, or a spare brick. If it’s discontinued we look for recycled bricks or the nearest current one, and build a sample panel with the mortar colour and joint so you can see it first.
Do you supply the bricks?
For homeowner jobs, yes: supply and lay, delivered on pallets. Builders usually supply their own, and we lay them.
How long will my fence take?
Footings go in first and need a few days to cure. Then laying, capping and clean-down. A standard front fence is usually done in about a week of site days, plus any rain days.
Is this crack structural?
Send us photos. Plenty of cracks are a simple repair or a rusted lintel we can replace. If we think it needs an engineer to look first, we’ll say so before we quote.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. NSW contractor licence 555027C, in the Bricklaying category, held by Salvatore Ferraro, and public liability insurance. Home warranty cover is arranged on the contracts that need it.
Will you take the rubbish and clean the bricks?
Yes. Broken bricks, offcuts and spoil leave with us, the brickwork is cleaned down, and paths are hosed off before we go.
Send us your job.
A few photos and a rough size, and Sal will get back to you the same day.
