Discuss how water will drain away from the new wall. Ask about damp-proof courses or flashing details. Ensure the top edge sheds water correctly. Poor drainage causes rot and stain damage later. Verify the plan addresses specific local weather patterns effectively.
Brick walls need airflow to prevent mold. Ask about the size of weep holes at the bottom. These small gaps let trapped water escape. A pro leaves a 12 mm opening at intervals. Blocked vents cause dampness to rise into the plaster. Check how they protect these holes during construction. Debris easily falls in. Ask for a final cleaning of every single opening.
Ask which mortar mix the professional plans to use. Standard cement-sand mixes vary in bond strength. Some projects require lime-based mortars for flexibility. Confirm the specific ratio for your wall type. Incorrect mortar causes cracking or poor adhesion. The choice impacts durability and weather resistance significantly.
Ask who removes broken bricks and excess mortar. Debris piles create tripping hazards and attract pests. Confirm if disposal costs are in the quote. Specify where waste goes daily. A clean site shows professionalism and safety awareness. Do not leave cleanup to chance after completion.
Ask how they handle damaged bricks during transport. Broken units need immediate replacement. Patching with inferior material creates weak spots. Demand a protocol for on-site breakage. The pro should keep spare stock nearby. Check if they match the texture of old bricks. Repairs must blend seamlessly. Ask for a written guarantee on replacements. Hidden defects appear months later. You need a contact for fixes.
Verify the wall is perfectly vertical and level. Use a long level or laser tool. Check every few meters along the wall length. A tilted wall looks bad and fails structurally. Ask the professional to show you the measurements. Do not accept a wall that leans noticeably.
Look for sharp, clean cuts on corner pieces. A skilled mason uses a wet saw for precise angles. Chipped edges collect water and freeze quickly. Look for gaps larger than 10 mm between cut pieces. Uneven cuts make the wall look messy. Ask if they use a template for repetitive cuts. Precision here saves you from repainting the entire facade later. Sloppy cuts ruin the aesthetic.
Inspect the existing foundation before starting any wall work. Look for cracks wider than 3 mm or uneven settling. A solid base prevents future structural failure. Ask the bricklayer to verify the ground bearing capacity. If the soil shifts, the new wall will crack. Do not ignore minor settling signs early on.
Request proof of liability insurance before work begins. Accidents happen on job sites daily. Verify the policy covers property damage and injuries. Do not hire an uninsured professional. Check the policy number directly with the provider. This protects you from financial liability for mistakes.
Brick shades vary significantly between batches. Order extra units from the same batch. Ask the mason to mix batches on-site. Blending different tones prevents obvious color stripes. Look at the sample wall in afternoon light. Colors shift as the sun moves. Ask about the curing process effect on shade. Some bricks darken slightly after drying. Confirm the final look before full completion.
