Bricklaying subcontractor work on a build comes with a different set of questions to a homeowner job. Site access usually depends on a CSCS card, so it's worth confirming that before a trade turns up rather than on the morning they're due. Public liability cover matters too: a subcontractor working inside your build carries risk that sits outside your own policy if something goes wrong.

Bricklayers for hire vary a lot in how they're set up. Some run as a full crew with a foreman between you and the person laying brick. Others, like us, work as one dedicated pair of hands, or a small, trusted team called on for bigger packages. Neither is automatically better. A larger crew can move across a bigger site faster. A smaller, consistent team tends to hold a more even standard from the first course to the last, because the same person who quoted the job is the one laying it.

Programme reliability is the other thing worth asking about directly. A subcontract package that runs late holds up every trade booked in after it, so it's worth a direct answer on whether dates are confirmed before work starts, not promised loosely and revisited later. We quote against your drawings and your dates before agreeing to take a job on, for exactly that reason.
