How Much Have Bricklayers Wages Incresed In Just 1 Year

[@Jammil2477]

Absolutely! There used to be plenty of brickies, going through college, learning from old tradesmen Etc, then with Blair’s gov pushing everyone into Uni, it was unfashionable, dirty Etc and then came loads of cheap Eastern European labour. Now with the lack of decent tradesmen, housing, construction, and a rising population and demand way outstripping supply, I don’t think you’ll be fearing a recession in your trade. I am seeing a lot of 4 bedroom housing going up though, rather than affordable.

[@kevinclarke9689]

I started in construction in Birmingham in 1977 when a brickie was only as good as his hod carrier. I have earned eyewatering money and shyt money over the years in times both good and bad all over the world. Construction is always on a recession roundabout so make hay when the sun shines, what people do not see are the wet days when brick layers might not earn a red cent in weeks. You're right to make money when you can and right to know your own value and worth to others. Good luck going forwards and don't forget too stick a few pennies away for those rainy days.

The last recession was horrendous and very hard , no one pays for your sick days holidays with no breaks at all from the government . You learn to save and only pay for anything unless you can pay for it (no credit) holidays (yeah right) 60-80 hours a week ! When you do earn decent money , you save it and get in front . Everyone else is buying cars and holidays the can’t afford with less income ! I couldn’t believe how ignorant folk are , but they dont care , well they will when it comes round again ! .

There are loads of videos talking about earning 600 a day etc laying brick but do you really earn that everyday all year? You can’t be taking home the same money after tax and expenses as someone on a PAYE salary of over £150,000, or do you? It would be great if someone could give us the full picture to help us with career choices. Thanks.

[@jasbindersingh2441]

Pay for brickies here in oz is going down - same for all trades. Then again , property prices are going down as well . Interest rates have shot up. That's the difference maybe in England. Your government doesn't want to let home prices drop ( fair market value my arssse) so it's making sure interest rates aren't going up to where they should be. If they were normal, you brickies wouldn't only be on lower pay but probably out of a job soon. But at least it would also mean home prices become affordable Here in oz ,we are learning that 15 yrs of low interest rates have just increased prices too much , now we're fked. Rates have now really shot up to kill off inflation , and tradies are now losing work. Don't think uk would have the guts to follow our example, guess it would just rather accept 10 per cent plus inflation as the norm and just keep putting wages up instead ...and accept more inflation as a result . Can't see wages keep going up tho , I mean , how trashed will the pound become ?

Regarding the block cutters...can tell you why we haven't got one at least. We did have one, but got nicked by the groundworkers on a keepmoat site, got a set of itchy fingered buggers on that were robbing allsorts and we got hit too. I wont entertain buying another until we get a BIG solid block job. They don't like thermals either, forever biting into them rather than splitting them. What u use now is one of those bahco saw handles fitted with a plasterboard cutter. Lasted me 2 years and still flies through block. Not bad for 15 quid for the blade, plus I was The Man for looking after the cutter despite it not even being mine, hellish dragging that thing around every day, going up ladders with it cause the driver made anyone who wanted tools booming up wait an hour or more. Not worth it even in the slightest...lost what time I saved using it by babysitting the bloody thing.

Yeah, and how much will you be earning when the interest rate increases stop the big house builders and brickies are back to being 2 a penny? I started my apprenticeship in 1981 and since then I've seen more downs than ups in the trade. I pretty much left the trade 10 years ago and at 57 years old i can't really see myself ever going back to it. My dad built his first house for Allison homes in 1958 and was paid £220 for it, the house was for sale for £2200 so the brickies were paid 10% of the value of the property. So based on how much a house like that sells for now the brickies should be getting about 35 grand to throw up one of these boxes, but they're not are they.

during my 35 years working on construction sites .... I have never ever seen someone work as slow as you . Come on now - you have three loaded mortar boards that will be dried out and rock hard before you drop your 5th block in place .

Greedy? The way a mason works vs a plumber or electrician and they want to talk about greedy? Those boys make a better living than I ever did as a bricky. Any dollar a bricklayer makes is easily earned. Bar none.
