About JFE Brickwork
JFE Brickwork is run by Jack, who holds an NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Bricklaying and a CSCS card, and who quotes and lays every job himself across Dorset and into Hampshire.
The person behind it
Run by Jack, and nobody else quotes your job
JFE Brickwork is run by Jack, a bricklayer working across Dorset and into Hampshire from a base in Ferndown. He holds an NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Bricklaying and a CSCS card, and most of the work is walls: garden and boundary walls, repointing, brick repairs, steps, planters and patios. Garden and boundary walls are the job he likes best, and the one he is proudest of. Jack visits every job himself, quotes what he actually sees rather than a guess down the phone, and lays the bricks himself, calling on a couple of trusted lads only when a job genuinely needs more hands. Nobody else is sent out in his place. A small job that is not worth doing properly gets turned down honestly, rather than rushed to fill a day. That is what a business built around one bricklayer's name should mean.

The paperwork behind it
Qualified, insured, and registered as JFE Brickwork
JFE Brickwork is registered in Wimborne, Dorset, with Jack now working out of Ferndown. He holds an NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Bricklaying and a current CSCS card, credentials a homeowner can check rather than take on trust. The business carries public liability cover of up to £1 million, and every job completed comes with a five-year workmanship guarantee. Jack is also a MyBuilder member, holds a Jewson trade account and is a Marshalltown affiliated tradesman. None of that replaces the work speaking for itself, but anyone letting a bricklayer onto their property is entitled to check the credentials first, rather than take a van sign-write and a friendly manner on trust. It takes a few minutes, and it is time well spent before work starts.

How we work, in things you can hold us to
Six commitments rather than six adjectives. If one of them slips, you have every right to say so.
We look at the job the same week
Message on a Monday and Jack fits you in as soon as he can, sometimes the next day or that evening. The quote follows by the weekend.
You have the figure before anything is ordered
The cost is worked out from how long the job will take, and you get that number in writing. Nothing is bought and nothing is started until you have seen it.
One bricklayer, start to finish
The person who quotes the job is the person laying the bricks. When a job needs more hands, Jack brings a couple of trusted lads and is on site with them.
Your brick matched before work starts
On a repair, a brick that matches what is already on the house is found first, so the new work sits in rather than announcing itself.
Swept down at the end of every day
The site is left clean and tidy each evening, not just at the end. When the job is finished, everything is cleaned off and all the waste leaves too.
Five years on the workmanship
If something we have built fails inside that time, we come back and put it right. Jack walks you round the finished job before he goes, so you both agree it is right on day one.

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.
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.
Questions about the firm, not the work
What people want to know before they let someone start on their house.
Who actually turns up and does the work?
Jack. JFE Brickwork is one bricklayer, and the person who quotes the job is the person who lays the bricks. He calls on a couple of trusted lads when a job genuinely needs more hands, and he is on site with them while it is built. Work never gets handed to somebody you have not met.
What qualifications do you have?
Jack holds an NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Bricklaying and a CSCS card. He is a MyBuilder member, holds a Jewson trade account and is a Marshalltown affiliated tradesman.
Are you insured, and is the work guaranteed?
Yes to both. JFE Brickwork carries public liability cover of up to £1 million, and every job comes with a five-year workmanship guarantee. If something built fails inside that time, we come back and put it right.
Where are you based, and how far will you travel?
JFE Brickwork is registered in Wimborne, Dorset, and Jack works out of Ferndown now. We travel up to about an hour from there, which takes in Bournemouth, Poole, Wimborne, Christchurch, Broadstone, Ferndown, Ringwood, Verwood, New Milton and Salisbury. If you are not sure, get in touch and we will tell you straight.
