Based on a standard 15m² single skin wall, costs may increase if access is difficult or if premium materials are chosen.

Common questions  Stainesai
The price can be affected by the size of the wall, type of bricks used, access to the site, and regional labour rates.
A standard 15m² single skin wall typically takes 3-5 days to complete, including setting time.
Common materials include standard clay bricks, cement, and sand for mortar, though specific choices can vary based on design and budget.
Planning permission is generally not required for minor brickwork, but it is needed for garden walls over 2m high or 1m if adjacent to a highway. Building Regulations are required for retaining walls over 1m adjacent to a road or path, or over 1.5m elsewhere. Always confirm with your tradesperson before work begins.
