Gate pillar rebuilt
The old brick pillar between these two back-lane gates was crumbling away. We took it down and built a new one, finished with a brick-on-edge cap.
Home / Bricklayers in Gateshead
Brickwork across Gateshead — repointing, garden and yard walls, chimney repairs, extensions and knock throughs — from Callum and Kieran in Boldon Colliery.
Gateshead has some of the longest runs of terraced streets and Tyneside flats on the Tyne — around Bensham and Saltwell especially — with back lanes behind them. Yard walls and back-lane walls get knocked, weathered and patched for decades until they need rebuilding properly.
Further out, the inter-war semis and newer estates bring a different list: garden walls, porches and extensions. We take on all of it, from a single gate pillar to a full extension.
From a garden wall to a full extension — properly priced, cleanly built.
Weather-damaged mortar, spalled brick replacement and full elevation repointing — matching brick and colour.

"Got a price from these guys for a quick fix of my wall. They gave me a very reasonable price and did the job within 2 days and only took half an hour.
