Commercial masonry in Bristol
Commercial masonry covers load-bearing and cladding work on non-domestic buildings: brick and block walls, stone facings, retaining walls, repointing of older frontages, and structural repairs. In Bristol, a lot of the work is on Victorian and Edwardian commercial stock, so lime mortar knowledge and careful matching of existing brick matter as much as bricklaying speed.
What to look for
- Proof of public liability insurance at a level your project or landlord requires.
- Experience with your building type: new-build blockwork, heritage repointing and stone repair are different skills.
- A written scope covering scaffolding, mortar specification, sample panels and waste removal.
- Recent references from commercial clients, not just domestic jobs.
- Clear health and safety paperwork, including risk assessments and method statements.
