Brick remains a popular and practical cladding choice for New Zealand homes and buildings. As a natural material, it requires little maintenance, retains its appearance and works well alongside other cladding materials. Its thermal properties can also help absorb and retain heat, while its density can help reduce noise.
From an entire home to a single feature wall, Richie’s Brick & Block brings the experience and practical knowledge needed to deliver quality masonry work that looks great and is made to last.
Natural Stonework
There is something distinctive about the appearance and character of natural stone. Richie and his team particularly enjoy working with Oamaru Stone, a natural limestone quarried in the South Island of New Zealand.
For properties that already feature Oamaru Stone, the team also provides cleaning and restoration services to help refresh and maintain its appearance. Richie’s Brick & Block also works with Summerhill Stone and Heritage Stone across a variety of projects.
Feature Brickwork and Masonry
Brick offers plenty of opportunities to create interesting architectural features. Richie’s Brick & Block constructs feature walls, garden walls, arches and other masonry elements, including more unusual designs that require a high level of skill and attention to detail.
Whether the project is large or small, residential or commercial, the same focus on quality workmanship, competitive pricing and attention to detail applies.
Richie prefers to meet clients on site before beginning a project. This provides an opportunity to discuss the work, understand the requirements and properly scope the project before providing a free quotation.
