Repair Bricklayers Across the Sunshine Coast
Sunshine Coast Bricklayers repairs cracked and damaged brickwork right across the Sunshine Coast.
Whether it’s a crack stepping up through the mortar joints above a window, mortar gone soft enough to pick out with a screwdriver, or a section of fence a vehicle has been into, brickwork rarely fails on its own. Something underneath it has moved, and the wall is showing you where. Work out that part first and the repair holds. Skip it and the same crack reopens beside the new work.
Repairs are finished ready for render and paint where you want the whole wall pulled together.

Brick and Block Repairs We Carry Out
Repointing
Failed mortar raked out and the joints repointed, which is what stops water getting in behind the face and taking the wall apart from the inside.
Cracked Walls
Stepped and vertical cracking cut out and rebuilt into sound courses, once the reason the wall moved has been identified.
Damaged Sections
Runs of wall rebuilt after impact, whether that is a vehicle into a front fence or something falling through a boundary wall.
Blockwork Repairs
Cracked and failing blockwork repaired, cores refilled where the steel and concrete have to be made good, then finished for render.
Brick Matching
The closest available brick sourced where the original is out of production, laid into the existing wall so the repair sits rather than stands out.
Render Over Repairs
Sand and cement render over the whole wall after the repair, which is the surest way to make a patched section disappear entirely.

What Changes the Price of a Repair
Two cracks the same length price differently once the cause, the access and brick availability come into it.
What affects the cost of brick repairs on the Sunshine Coast:
| Factor | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Extent of the damage | How many courses come out and go back |
| Cause | A drainage or footing problem is a different fix to a one-off impact |
| Brick availability | Whether the original brick is still made, and what the nearest match is |
| Propping | Whether the wall above the repair needs supporting while work goes on |
| Access | Height, and whether the wall can be reached from the ground |
| Finish | Left as brickwork, or rendered and painted across the whole wall |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do brick repairs cost on the Sunshine Coast?
Brick repairs on the Sunshine Coast are priced per job. Factors affecting the cost include the extent of the damage, what caused it, whether matching bricks are available, whether the wall needs propping, and the access. A run of repointing and a rebuild where the footing has to be dealt with first are different jobs.
Do you charge for a quote?
No, repair quotes are free right across the Sunshine Coast. Send photos of the damage first if you have them, then someone comes out and the written quote that follows sets out the repair method.
Why is my brick wall cracking?
A brick wall cracks because something underneath it has moved. Stepped cracking through the mortar joints points at footing movement. Vertical cracking beside an opening means the wall is being pulled. Mortar that crumbles under a screwdriver has simply lost its cement content.
Can you match the bricks on my wall?
Yes, we match the bricks on your wall as closely as they are still available. Where the original is out of production the nearest match gets sourced and laid in. If you have spare bricks from the original build stacked down the side of the house, say so, because they beat anything we can buy.
Can a cracked wall be repaired, or does it need rebuilding?
A cracked wall gets repaired rather than rebuilt in most cases, provided the movement behind it has stopped. Rebuilding becomes the answer when the wall has gone out of plumb or the bond has failed across a large area.
Do you repair blockwork as well as brickwork?
Yes, we repair blockwork as well. The difference is what sits inside it, since block walls carry steel and concrete through the cores, so a repair has to make that good rather than just replace the face.
