Brickwork In Liverpool & Merseyside

AJC & Son Builders deliver expert brickwork in Liverpool, Merseyside and the surrounding areas including Prescot, Huyton, Crosby, Formby and Southport. Whether you need brickwork for a new extension, garden walls, boundary walls, repointing or repairs, our skilled bricklayers match existing brick and mortar for a seamless finish that’s built to last. We work to traditional standards using quality materials, and we take pride in tidy, accurate work — every joint, every course.

Whether you are looking to restore a period property or lay the foundations for a modern extension, professional brickwork is the literal backbone of your home. In the UK, where the weather can be as varied as the architecture, the quality of your masonry determines not just the “kerb appeal” of your property, but its structural integrity and longevity.

We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern building standards to deliver brickwork that is as durable as it is beautiful. From meticulous repointing to full-scale structural builds, our team ensures every course is level, every bond is true, and every joint is weather-tight.

Why choose us for brickwork in Liverpool?

We pride ourselves on a “clean-build” philosophy. This means we keep the site tidy, protect your landscaping, and ensure that mortar smears are a thing of the past. We use the correct strength of mortar for your specific brick type—whether that’s high-strength Engineering Bricks for foundations or softer Handmade Bricks for heritage work—preventing future cracking and salt efflorescence.

Brickwork services we offer

Extension brickwork — full external walls for single and two-storey extensions, matched to your existing property’s brick and mortar.

Garden and boundary walls — from low decorative walls to taller boundary structures, built with proper foundations and weatherproof finishes.

Repointing — replacing weathered or cracked mortar joints to protect brickwork and refresh the look of older properties.

Brick repairs and replacement — sourcing matching bricks for older properties and seamlessly replacing damaged sections.

Decorative and feature brickwork — arches, corbels, soldier courses and other detailing for character and kerb appeal.

Why brick matching matters

A common problem with extension brickwork is mismatched bricks that immediately give away the addition. We take time to source bricks that match your existing property — colour, size, texture — and we use the right mortar mix to match the joint colour. Done well, you can’t tell the new brickwork from the original.

Common questions about brickwork

Can you match the bricks on my existing house?

In most cases yes. Matching depends on the age and type of the original brick, the mortar colour and the bond, and reclaimed bricks are often the closest match on older properties. A close match matters more than an exact one, because new brick weathers in.

What is repointing and when does it need doing?

Repointing is raking out failed mortar joints and replacing them. It is needed when the mortar is crumbling, receding behind the brick face, or letting water into the wall. Left too long, the damage moves from the mortar to the bricks themselves.

Do older houses need lime mortar?

Often, yes. Solid-wall properties built before roughly the 1920s were built to breathe, and hard cement mortar can trap moisture and damage the brick. We use what suits the building rather than what is quickest.
