DIY Victorian brick wall rebuild?

Question

Am I allowed to rebuild my own brick wall? Or does this put me at risk of personal liability if it falls down and injures anyone?

Gary · Answer

No the bricklayer shouldn't have to if its built right. Plum and level etc. Then when it's hard it shouldn't move at all and it will be safe.

If you builder the wall plum and with the right sand and cement it should be all good. As for you being liable i would say yes

We all have to carry 5 to. 10 million liability insurance in the building trade for sole traders. But you can build your wall as long as you take out a insurance policy on itq

Maintenance is never a real issue , if you want to cover your back you can get you council building officer to check it over and sign off or advise

Just take out public liability insurance for yourself. It’s only cheap and will keep you covered
