About us

I’m Harry, a local bricklayer with over 10 years’ experience, and VW Brickwork & construction is the result of my passion for quality construction. I started out learning the trade on domestic projects and over the years have gained experience across full house builds, extensions, and all aspects of brickwork.

I know that finding good builders and bricklayers isn’t easy. With so many unreliable tradespeople out there, I understand the importance of working with someone who is trustworthy, communicative, and delivers quality workmanship.

For me, every project is personal — me and my team approach each job like it’s our own home, taking pride in craftsmanship, attention to detail, and keeping every site clean and organised. We always go the extra mile to ensure every project is completed smoothly and to your exact specification, whether it’s a residential home, commercial property, or repair work.

Would highly recommend and will be using VW Brickwork again."

After getting several quotes from local firms, we chose Harry because of his knowledge, professionalism and polite manner.

We couldn't thank enough for his work, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and his team."
