Going self-employed as a bricklayer means more than turning up with a trowel — CSCS registration, CIS subcontractor setup, public liability insurance, builders' merchant accounts, and clear quotes for labour-only versus supply-and-fit work all need to be in place from the first job. This guide covers business registration, insurance for trade and site work, Building Regulations Parts A/B/C/L where they affect masonry, Party Wall Act considerations, lime mortar versus modern mixes for heritage work, and the first-90-days checklist for moving from employed bricklayer to running your own diary.
Covers business registration, CSCS card routes, public liability insurance, CIS for subcontract work, and the choice between labour-only versus domestic project pricing
Includes a first-90-days checklist that addresses tools, builders' merchant accounts, and finding your first reliable contractor relationships
Addresses the real decisions: garden walls versus extensions versus heritage repointing, working with main contractors, and pricing per thousand bricks versus by the job

Made for the work
Built around the work you do every day.
Between quoting jobs, ordering materials and getting on site, paperwork often ends up on the back burner. Our templates give bricklayers a professional set of documents that make quoting, invoicing and admin quicker and easier.
The pack is shaped around day-to-day situations such as:
Day-rate vs piece-rate switched between jobs with no clear rule, and no clean view of which actually earns better
Materials and labour billed as one number, making it hard to argue overruns when bricks-per-day or pointing scope drifts
