A solid track record of bonding, pointing and setting out on residential or commercial sites, with references where possible.
Valid CSCS Card
A blue or gold CSCS card covering bricklaying is required on the large majority of Bristol sites we supply to.
Own PPE & Tools
Standard trowel kit and PPE. Some sites can support with additional equipment, ask your Workers Direct consultant for details.

Types Of Bricklaying Jobs We Recruit For In Bristol
Bricklaying covers a wide range of disciplines, and the right vacancy for you depends on your background and the pace of work you prefer. Our Bristol desk typically handles the following categories of role.
New Build Housing
Fast-paced work on housing estates across Bradley Stoke, Emersons Green and the wider Bristol fringe, usually on price work or a strong day rate with clear productivity targets.
Social & Affordable Housing
Longer programmes with housing associations and their contractors, often offering steady, ongoing work over several months rather than a short-term booking.
Commercial & Retail
Brickwork on retail units, warehouses and light commercial builds, frequently requiring a slightly different pace and finish standard to residential work.
Heritage & Restoration
Bristol's older housing stock and listed buildings occasionally call for bricklayers with lime mortar or heritage matching experience, a specialist and well-paid niche.
Extensions & Renovations
Smaller domestic projects across the city suburbs, ideal for bricklayers who prefer variety over repetitive large-site work.
Bricklayer's Labouring
Entry-level support roles mixing mortar, barrowing materials and maintaining a clean working area, a solid route into the trade for less experienced candidates.

Do I need a CSCS card for bricklaying jobs in Bristol?
Most sites in Bristol require a valid CSCS card before you can start. Workers Direct can advise on the correct card for bricklayers and help you book a CSCS test if you don't already hold one.
How much do bricklaying jobs in Bristol pay?
Day rates for bricklayers in Bristol currently range from roughly £170 to £240 per day depending on experience, project type and whether the role is priced or day rate. Gang and price work can pay significantly more.
Are the bricklaying jobs in Bristol temporary or permanent?
Workers Direct offers both. We supply bricklayers on temporary, contract and long-term programme work, and can also introduce candidates for permanent positions with our client contractors.
Which areas of Bristol does Workers Direct cover?
We supply bricklaying and construction labour across Bristol city centre and surrounding areas including Bradley Stoke, Kingswood, Filton, Fishponds, Southville, Bedminster, Clifton, Brislington and Emersons Green.
Can I apply if I'm new to bricklaying or working as a labourer?
Yes. Alongside experienced bricklayers, we regularly place bricklayer's labourers who are building toward a full trade card. Let your consultant know your current experience level and we'll match you to appropriate vacancies.
How quickly can I start work after registering?
Many bricklayers who register with our Bristol team are placed on site within 48 hours, provided their CSCS card, right to work documentation and references are ready to go.
Building A Long-Term Career, Not Just A Booking
Plenty of agencies treat a placement as a one-off transaction. Workers Direct takes a different view: every bricklaying job we fill in Bristol is a chance to build a longer relationship, both with the contractor and with you. Bricklayers who consistently turn up, work safely and deliver a good standard of finish are the first people we call when the next vacancy opens, often before it's even been advertised here.
Over time, that can mean moving from short-term contract bookings into supervisory or gang leader positions, being trusted with price work on higher-value schemes, or simply having the security of a steady run of bookings across Bristol's housebuilders. If career progression matters to you as much as your next pay packet, let your Workers Direct consultant know, we actively factor it into which vacancies we put you forward for.

Bristol is one of the South West's most active construction hubs, and demand for skilled bricklayers shows no sign of slowing. Large-scale regeneration around the harbourside and Temple Quarter, ongoing new build housing programmes in Bradley Stoke and Emersons Green, and a steady flow of extension and renovation work across the city's residential suburbs all feed a consistent pipeline of bricklaying vacancies. Workers Direct sits at the centre of that pipeline, working directly with the housebuilders, developers and principal contractors delivering these schemes.
For bricklayers, this means more than just a single vacancy: it means a genuine career pathway. Many of the tradespeople who register with our Bristol team move from a short contract role into a long-term programme of work, simply because they've proven themselves reliable on their first site. We take the same approach with every trade we supply through our wider construction jobs network, building lasting relationships between contractors and the people who show up and do the job properly.
If you're relocating to Bristol for work, or commuting in from towns such as Bath, Yate or Portishead, our consultants can also advise on which sites are best placed for your travel patterns, so you're not adding hours onto your day before you've even picked up a trowel.
Safety, Standards & Support On Site
Every site we supply bricklayers to is expected to meet current UK health and safety standards, and we carry out our own due diligence on contractors before adding them to our books. That means proper site inductions, correctly maintained welfare facilities, and clear lines of communication if anything on site doesn't look right.
Our Bristol consultants stay in regular contact with placed workers throughout a booking, not just at the start. If a project timeline shifts, if pay queries come up, or if you're ready for your next role before a current one finishes, you'll always have a direct line to a real person rather than an automated system. This ongoing support is a big part of why so many bricklayers come back to Workers Direct time and again for their next Bristol vacancy.
