Local. Friendly. Reliable.

Hi, I’m Charlie!

I’m a bricklayer from London with over 10 years of hands-on experience. A few years ago, my family and I made the move to Christchurch, and we’ve loved calling New Zealand home ever since.

I run Another Brick in the Wall, offering bricklaying and landscaping services across Christchurch and the wider Canterbury area. From classic brickwork and feature walls to patios, garden walls, repairs, and alterations. I’m especially passionate about the details—whether it’s a crisp brick finish, a bespoke herringbone patio, or a carefully built garden wall that adds real character to your space.

I know renovations and repairs can feel overwhelming, so I keep the process simple and stress-free. You’ll get clear communication, reliable timeframes, and high-quality craftsmanship that’s built to last.

If you’re looking for a friendly, experienced Christchurch bricklayer who cares about the finer details, get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote. I’d love to hear about your project.

“We had Charlie in to transform our courtyard, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. He laid beautiful pavers in a stunning Mediterranean-style pattern and replaced the surrounding bark with pebbles, giving the whole space a fresh, elegant look. Charlie was quick to respond with a quote, which was very accurate, and his friendly, always-smiling nature made the whole process a pleasure. Highly recommend!”

“Charlie was excellent to deal with. He made me an awesome brick letter box in no time. Cost was good, especially since he had to come all the way from Chch to Amberley. Would definitely recommend him. Will ask him to come back to do some other jobs as he is a bit of a handy man it seems.”

“I have only good things to say about Charlie. He is a great communicator and was quick with providing a quote, he worked so hard while at my place (even drank his cups of tea while working!) and he is darn nice to deal with too! My job was a bit torturous as it involved adding recycled bricks to a wall that had been poorly made about 60 years ago, so he had to muck about with trying to align the new with the old and yet he didn't complain. I totally love the end result!”
