Time and cost to build a brick feature fireplace

Question

We live in a new build home and want to create a brick feature fireplace in the lounge to give it some character. How long would this take to build and how much should we look to pay. It will house an electric stove eventually, so it only needs to go from the floor to ceiling.

Ken · Accepted Answer

It would probably take about 1 to 2 days to build it all depends on the size and how much detail you want incorporating into the fireplace. The material selection will also effect the price.

Antanas · Answer

When I don't have money, I do everything myself.  Those who have money should not care how much we do our work for.  Most importantly, did the customer like the work done.  Diligence takes time.

Matthew · Answer

Should be looking no longer than 3 days and should be looking with labour and materials £2400

Hello there, I'm Kat.  I work with two good bricklayers and they can do your job in aprox 2 days and cost would be around 1000.  Of course we need to clarify what shape do you want the fire place to be. Matherials not included

Terence · Answer

One brickie 2 days  £400.00 floor to ceiling.
This also depends on the type of  hearth you want brick or tiled hearth
 Also the size of brick can make a difference if using a small handmade brick or the bigger Imperial 73 mill sized brick but still 2 days on average.

Lee · Answer

Your looking £300 for material and £400 for labour.

This would be something you would need to talk to the customer about as bricks are going up in price plus customer would need to look at brick samples
