At Richie’s Brick & Block we offer a range of services, from simple straightforward jobs like letterboxes to challenging rebuilds in Christchurch. And everything in-between. We also offer a comprehensive pre-purchase or earthquake-related brick cladding inspection.

Our services include:

Bricklaying • block laying • stonework • feature walls • brick-slip chimneys • fireplaces and arches • Oamaru Stone cleaning • alterations that require masonry cladding • But our most important service is customer service!

All our services have been designed and developed to meet our clients’ requirements and make their experience with our company smooth and rewarding.

Brick is not only one of the oldest building materials known to man, it is also the cheapest cladding option. It’s a natural product that requires very little maintenance, doesn’t fade and is easily used in conjunction with other claddings.
Brick provides thermal insulation because it absorbs heat from the sun. It’s also very effective at cutting down on noise

Whether you’re looking to build a house or a feature wall, at Richie’s Brick & Block we have the know-how and experience to provide you with an end result that will not only make you proud but will stand the test of time.

There’s simply no substitute for natural stone.

That’s why Richie and his team enjoy working with Oamaru Stone that’s only found in the South Island of New Zealand. If you currently have Oamaru Stone elements in your building, we offer a cleaning and restoration service for this beautiful material.

In addition to Oamaru Stone, Richie also does Summerhill and Heritage stonework.

Richie’s Brick & Block also builds solid aesthetically pleasing walls – feature walls, garden walls and arches. Brick lends itself to flexible designs, so Richie and the team enjoy the challenge of building unusual structures.

No matter the size of the job, our work is always of the highest standard as well as being price competitive.

Whether it’s a residential or commercial project, we approach it with the same enthusiasm, innovation and commitment to excellence.

To ensure that everyone is on the same page from initial contact to completion, Richie prefers to meet on-site before scoping a project and providing a free quotation.

If you require quality brick, block or stone cladding in the greater Christchurch area, we can do the job and do it well.
