About T. Whitney

A local brickie, not a sales team

T. Whitney Bricklaying is a Toowoomba bricklaying business that builds everything from new homes to a single letterbox. When you call, you're talking to the person who will actually lay your bricks.

Good brickwork comes down to the basics done right: a solid footing, lines set out properly, corners built plumb and every course checked as it goes up. That's how a wall stays straight for decades instead of years.

Toowoomba's sloping blocks and clay soils make retaining walls and footings especially important to get right. Whatever you're building, it gets done with the ground it sits on in mind.

Brick guide

Which brick suits your job?

Not sure what to choose? Here's a quick guide to the most common options in Toowoomba.

Classic

Face brick

The colour goes right through the brick, so there's nothing to paint or render. Hard-wearing and low maintenance.

Best for: homes, fences, letterboxes
Modern

Double-height brick

Twice the height of a standard brick, giving a clean, contemporary look with fewer mortar lines. Quicker to lay.

Best for: modern homes, front fences
Structural

Concrete block

Strong and economical. Can be core-filled with concrete and steel for strength, then rendered or left raw.

Best for: retaining walls, sheds, rendered walls
Character

Recycled brick

Weathered, one-of-a-kind bricks with heaps of character that suit older homes and feature walls.

Best for: heritage homes, feature walls

Do you work for builders and homeowners?

Yes, both. New builds and extensions for builders, plus walls, fences and letterboxes for homeowners.

Can you supply the bricks?

Bricks can be supplied as part of the quote, or you can choose your own from a local supplier.

Do you do small jobs?

Yes. Letterboxes, repairs and small garden walls are all welcome.

How long does a job take?

It depends on the size and the weather. A letterbox can be done in a day or two, while a long retaining wall or a house takes longer. You'll get a clear timeframe with your quote.

Do I need approval for a retaining wall?

Generally, walls over about 1 m high, or close to buildings, boundaries or driveways, may need engineering and council approval. You'll be told upfront.

What happens if it rains?

Bricks can't be laid in heavy rain, so work is rescheduled for the next good day and you'll be kept in the loop.
