Brick wall quotation - views welcomed

Posts: 1,040 Forumite
I have received a quotation from a builder to build two twenty foot (approx) long and two foot high brick walls on either side of my drive way. He has quoted me £6000. Does anyone know whether this is a good price or is it way off and I should get more quotes from different builders.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

It sounds loads to me.
I had a 2 1/2 foot high wall about 10 foot long wall built for about £600 (it was a friend of a friend though so may have affected the price).
Get another quote anyway. Do you know anyone who can recommend builders in the area?"One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."

Sounds off., however, the type of brick you are using makes a big difference. Range from .25p/brick to £1/brick. Is it one skin or double? How deep the foundation? Neighbor in West London just paid £2500 for a single skin, cheap bricks (the .25p ones), about 36 foot long, 5 foot high, with pillars, and steel rods for support. My builder said he gave the same quote, but for double skin and better quality brick. Neighbor didn't realize the first quote was for single skin and got done a bit, but the wall looks good if you overlook the cheap bricks.perc wrote:I have received a quotation from a builder to build two twenty foot (approx) long and two foot high brick walls on either side of my drive way.
