How much for a 6' garden wall (Read 3040 times)

havingago GDPR opt-out	How much for a 6' garden wall Dec 12^th, 2005, 9:17pm I have been quoted £1500 for a garden wall 6' high and 9.5m long. It is one brick thick with some piers. He reckons about a grand for materials and £500 for labour. Does this sound about right? West Midlands

Is this just for the brickwork or does a foundation have to be dug and concreted?

If there is already a foundation there, does it come right up to ground level or will some brickwork be needed below ground?

What are the bricks? Do you have a name/manufacturer/type?

Is mortar included in this price?

Is debris removal included in this price?

How near to the wall can you get materials delivered (bricks/sand/cement)

I imagine the foundations would be a strip of concrete about 9.5m long - whats the going rate for them?

He told me he wasnt a fully qualified brickie but has been doing paid jobs for about a year. He gave me references which I havent checked out yet, think i will though - I like a good deal but dont want a cowboy job

He might not have had to deal with that before.
