Budget for bricklaying costs

The wall next to my house fell down last December and I think it's about time I got it fixed!
I'm planning to get the materials myself (because I've cleaned up most of the old bricks to be re-used), so I'm after just straight bricklaying costs.
Please can someone give me an idea of how much I should expect it to cost? I'm in the southeast between London and the south coast. It's a 9m long single brick wall - area 20sqm approx, no re-laying of foundations needed - the existing ones are Ok.

If your approx area is correct , the single skin wall was more than 2 metres high.
If that is so , it's not surprising that it fell down.
A single skin wall will not be stable if it is more than about 750 mm high.
Are you describing the job correctly?Forgotten but not gone.0 -
Single skin with two piers, plus an angled joint with another wall at one end. Part of it (because the land is not level) is underground. Yes, the two piers increase the "area" a bit, which I think I allowed for (but not in any really accurate way).0
