What is the daily rate for a bricklayer in the south east

I need a little work done but am not sure what the daily rate would be for a bricklayer or a handyman who can lay bricks.

Can anyone suggest a rate?

Thanks in advance.

    A self employed "Handyman" would be around £ 80-100 a day

    A time served qualified bricklayer would be around £150-200 a day.

    I'm in the South, not the South-East. Hourly rates for handymen are £22/hour, no idea of the dayrate, at £22 I've not hired one for an hour yet :)

    I'm in the oxford area, your looking at £120 for a labourer, 150 for a cheap semi skilled builder, and £200 for a pro

    Suggest you get quotes for doing the job, not day or hourly rates.

    Suspect a decent experienced builder will do a quicker and better job but may cost more over all.

    It's only a couple of days work for a single bloke.





    Builders round my way are way to busy with extensions to bother with little jobs. I'm struggling to find anyone to do it.
