Level 1 bricklayers learn construction, communication, health and safety, block and bricklaying, cavity walling, masonry constructions, and damp proofing.
Avoid efflorescence by not laying bricks in the rain. Cover the new brickwork with plastic if it rains. Covering the bricks before leaving is also wise.
Bricklayers are the most satisfied UK tradespeople, according to IronmongeryDirect data. New data shows that over half of tradespeople love their jobs, compared to the ordinary Brit.
With no insulation to worry about, each bricklayer should be able to lay between 250 and 300 blocks every day.
