    Advice for hiring a bricklayer

    I’m thinking of hiring a bricklayer to remove the existing wall at the front of my garden and replace it with a new one. What sort of qualifications or experience should a bricklayer have before I hire one? Also, would they be able to arrange waste removal or would I likely need to hire a skip company separately for getting rid of the old wall? Any building regulations/planning permission rules to consider for any of this? Thanks!
