Not sure if we cover your area? Call Brad on 0467 837 928 and he'll let you know.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes, all quotes are free with no obligation. We come out to your property, assess the job in person, and give you a clear written quote so you know exactly what to expect before any work starts. Call 0467 837 928 to book yours.
Can you match the bricks on my existing home?
Yes, brick matching is something we take seriously. We source bricks that match the colour, texture, and size of your existing brickwork so repairs or extensions blend in naturally. For older homes we have access to recycled and heritage brick suppliers. Call 0467 837 928 to discuss.
How much does repointing cost?
Repointing costs depend on the size and condition of the area being done. A single fence section is very different to a full house. We offer free on-site quotes so you get an accurate price rather than a rough estimate. Call Brad on 0467 837 928 to arrange a visit.
Do you handle insurance brickwork repairs?
Yes. We work with insurers on storm damage, vehicle impact, and structural failure repairs. We provide full documentation and photos for your claim and can liaise directly with your insurer to keep things moving. Call 0467 837 928 to get the process started.
How long does a brick repair job take?
It depends on the scope. Minor repointing or crack repairs are often done in a single day. Larger restorations or rebuilds may take several days. We give you a clear timeline at the quoting stage so there are no surprises. Call 0467 837 928 to find out more.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. ABC Bricks & Masonry is fully insured with public liability cover. All work is completed to Australian building standards. Owner Brad Harrison does the work himself, with no subcontractors. ABN: 69 212 324 830. Call 0467 837 928 with any questions.
Can you build a brick fence to match my house?
Absolutely, it's one of our most requested jobs. We match the brick type, colour, and mortar finish of your existing home so the fence looks like it was always there. We handle everything from footings to the finished coping. Call 0467 837 928 for a free quote.
What is the difference between repointing and tuckpointing?
Repointing means removing old, damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar to restore joint strength and appearance. Tuckpointing is a decorative technique using two mortar colours to create the look of very fine, precise joints. Both protect your brickwork and extend its life. Call 0467 837 928 if you want advice on which suits your situation.
Do you work on heritage or older homes?
Yes. We have experience working on older and character properties across Adelaide. We source period-appropriate bricks and use techniques suited to heritage buildings. If your home has heritage listing or you want to maintain its original character, we know how to handle it properly. Call 0467 837 928 to discuss.
