Your local brickwork specialists
Qualified, Insured, and On Site From Start to Finish
We know how hard it is to find a bricklayer who turns up when they said they would, prices the job honestly, and leaves your property as they found it. That is exactly what we set out to offer. JFE Brickwork is run by Jack, who holds an NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Bricklaying and a CSCS card, and who visits and quotes every job himself. We are not a general building firm that also lays brick when the work comes in. Brickwork is our speciality, and it is all we do.
- The person who quotes your job is the person who runs it
- Your price is agreed in writing before anything is ordered
- We clean down daily, and all the waste leaves with us

Working With Us Is Simple
The same four stages on a patch of repointing as on a garden wall.
We come and look at the job
Jack will personally visit your property, take a proper look at the work, and talk through what you want. You get a free, no-obligation quotation in writing, with nothing ordered until you are happy with it.
We agree a start date
Once you are happy with the quotation, we order the materials, book you in, and protect the areas around the work before a brick is moved.
We build it
The work is carried out to the standard our reviews describe, and the site is left clean and tidy at the end of every day you have us there.
We walk you through it
Everything is cleaned down and all the waste leaves with us. We then walk you through the finished job to make sure you are happy with every part of it.

5.0
James Hickman
Jack was excellent from first inquiry to the finished product. We needed an old set of French doors bricking up to match our existing window still height.
Dane Gardner
Jack is a real craftsman who repaired my steps and repointed my patio to a very high standard. From the start he was good at communicating, replying to messages quickly and providing a prompt quote.
Rosemary Collins
Jack did an excellent job rebuilding a section of our garden wall and repairing cracks in other sections despite having to work through challenging weather conditions and unexpected complications in relation to the groundwork.
What it costs
Priced On What Your Job Actually Needs
How We Price Every Job
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same once we have actually seen them. What it costs comes down to the time we will be on site, the materials it takes, how easy the wall or patio is to get to, and the state of what is already there. Message us and we will come and look at the job, usually within the week, then send a written quotation with no obligation to go ahead. We are not the cheapest bricklayers you will find, and we would rather tell you that now than put a number here that would not survive contact with your wall.
- Priced on time on site, materials, access and the state of what is already there
- A free, written quotation, with no obligation to go ahead
- Usually in your hands within the week of you messaging us
Nothing is charged, and nothing is ordered, until you have the figure in writing.
The Things People Ask Before They Say Yes
The questions that come up on the doorstep, answered straight.
Will my garden be left in a state?
We clean down and tidy the site at the end of every day, and all the waste leaves with us when the job is finished. You get your garden back, not a skip and a pile of sand.
Will we actually hear back from you?
Yes, and quickly. Replying fast and quoting promptly comes up again and again in our reviews, and it is the part of the service we are most careful about.
What if something goes wrong later?
Every job we complete carries a five-year workmanship guarantee. If something we built fails inside that time, we come back and put it right. We also carry public liability cover of up to £1 million.
Why Customers Come To Us
Four things that go wrong with brickwork, and how we work instead.
You message, and nothing comes back
We reply, and we come and look. Quick responses and prompt quotations are what our customers write about unprompted, and it is the easiest promise in this trade to keep.
A cheap price, then a job that has to be done twice
We are not the cheapest and we will not pretend to be. We price on how long the work will genuinely take, and we build it once, properly.
A repair that announces itself
We match your existing brick before we start, so new work sits in with what is already there rather than standing out from it for the next thirty years.
The skilled bonds nobody offers you
A pattern like Flemish bond takes longer, so most bricklayers steer you away from it. It is our speciality, and we will happily quote for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
If yours is not here, get in touch and we will answer it properly.
How much does a garden wall cost?
It depends on the length and height of the wall, the brick you choose, how much digging out the ground needs, and the bond it is laid in. Rather than guess, we come and look at the job and give you a free, no-obligation quotation in writing, usually within the week of you messaging us.
How quickly can you come and look at the job?
Usually within the same week. Message us at the start of the week and we will fit you in as soon as we can, sometimes the next day, and get the written quotation across to you shortly after. Fast quoting is what our customers mention most in their reviews.
Can you match our existing brick?
Yes. Brick matching is part of any repair we carry out. We find a brick that matches what is already on your house so the repair does not announce itself. On older Victorian brickwork an exact match may no longer be made, and we will tell you honestly how close we can get before we start.
Do you cover Bournemouth and Poole?
Yes, both. We work across Dorset and into Hampshire, up to about an hour from our base in Ferndown. That takes in Bournemouth, Poole, Wimborne, Christchurch, Broadstone, Ferndown, Ringwood and the towns around them.
Do you take on small repointing jobs?
Small patches, yes. Tell us what needs doing and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth us coming out, rather than turning up and rushing it to fill an afternoon.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job we complete carries a five-year workmanship guarantee, so if something we built fails inside that time we come back and sort it out. We also carry public liability cover of up to £1 million, and Jack holds an NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Bricklaying and a CSCS card.
