Brickie required to take up to slab

  • Location: Mold
  • Hired: ed tomkiss brickwork
  • Trade: Bricklaying
Job Description

Hi. This weekend I am pouring the foot ins for my 2 storey extension measuring approx 9185mm x 2925mm. So next week I am looking for a brickie to take the work up to slab. I can email a copy of the plans to anyone who requires them. I will have already purchased the trenchblock, thermalite, bricks and other raw materials so it's just the labour required for now. Initially quote to take it up to slab but if the work is good then there will be more work to take the job up to completion. Ideally I would like for a start next week depending on price and availability. I am applying for full building regulations so inspections will be required at given points. If you're interested and the time frame is not an issue then please get in touch to arrange a viewing to quote.

Re-pointing of chinmey breast

  • Location: Sheffield
  • Hired: Archers Construction
  • Trade: Bricklaying
Job Description

Property type is mid terrace,
The roof is fitted with slate tiles,
Chimney breast is approx 1mx1m to the rear of the property,

Currently selling the house and a valuation survey has identified that in the medium term the rear chimney sack will need repointing and there may be one or two loose tile which need attention. I have agreed to undertake this work and I am looking to get a quotation for this work to be completed and resolve this ASAP so I can progress with my sale.

I also have a coal suit to the front of my property which goes into the cellar. There is currently a metal cover over this (not attached) but we have been advised ventilation should be improved. We want to simply add three air bricks to provide air flow and place a slab over the void to shelter rain entering the cellar. A quick, easy job that I could potentially complete, but if this is something you could also do I would also be interested if you could give me a cost for this work also to speed up the process.

* Added 13th May, 2013 :
You will only need to do tHe work on the half of the chimney stack we are responsible for as this is a shared stack in a row of terraced properties.
