5 Best Masonry Contractors in London (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 7 min read

Old London brick doesn't forgive a bad repair job, which is probably why every masonry contractor on this page holds a flat 5.0 or 4.9 star average. The top name has logged 125 reviews without a single one below five stars, so the real work here is matching the right specialist to the job, whether that's a crumbling Victorian wall or a brand-new garden extension.

Short answer: The most-reviewed masonry contractor in London is Ossie's Brickwork (5.0 stars across 125 reviews), a bricklaying specialist covering extensions, garden walls and restoration across East London. Sula Brickwork (5.0, 47 reviews) and K Barnard Brickwork (5.0, 30 reviews, founded 1986) both specialize in period-property repointing and restoration. Pricing depends heavily on the scope of the job, so get a written quote before you commit.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other London masonry contractors. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from over a hundred reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a couple dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does masonry work cost in London? (2026)

Brickwork pricing depends heavily on the scope of the job: a small garden wall repair costs far less than a full house-extension build, and a period property that needs lime mortar or matched original bricks will cost more than standard cement-based repointing. Ask each contractor for a written, itemized quote so you can compare like for like, and confirm upfront whether period-matched materials are included or billed separately.

Serving all of London

The contractors above cover Greater London, including Chingford, Fulham, Peckham, Hoxton, and out to Loughton, Romford and Enfield. Searching for a masonry contractor near me? Every listing shows a live phone number and directions to the closest option.

What to ask before you hire a masonry contractor

  • Are you insured, and can you provide proof before work starts?
  • Do you work with lime mortar for period properties, and is that quoted separately?
  • Can you source bricks or stone that match my existing property?
  • Is the quote fixed, and does it include cleanup and waste removal?
  • Do you offer a workmanship guarantee, and for how long?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these masonry contractors?

We started from masonry and bricklaying contractors in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which of these contractors specializes in period properties?

K Barnard Brickwork, founded in 1986, focuses specifically on restoring older London buildings using matched original materials and lime mortar.

How much does repointing cost in London?

It depends on the scope of the job, access, and whether lime mortar is needed for a period property. Ask each contractor for a written, itemized quote so you can compare fairly.

The bottom line

Ossie’s Brickwork is the safe default given its size and spotless record, while K Barnard Brickwork is the specialist call for a genuinely old or listed property. Get a written quote before work starts either way, and ask specifically about lime mortar if your house predates the 1930s.
