What to check when hiring bricklayers / masons in South Africa
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- In South Africa, electrical work must be signed off with a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered person. Insist on the CoC, and for plumbing look for PIRB or IOPSA registration, because without a valid CoC a future home-insurance claim can be refused.
- For a new home or major structural build, the builder must be registered with the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) and the home enrolled before construction. Check this before you pay a deposit.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
How to judge a bricklayer / mason
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Bricklaying and blockwork aren't separately licensed, but structural and load-bearing work on a home forms part of an NHBRC-registered builder's enrolled build and needs municipal building plan approval: ask whether your job qualifies.
- Check the business is registered with CIPC, is VAT-registered if applicable, and carries public liability insurance, and for larger contracts check the cidb grading.
- Get a written scope and materials list (brick/block type, mortar mix), and see photos of comparable finished work.
- Agree an itemised quote and staged payments tied to milestones.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Structural brickwork done outside an NHBRC-registered build, or before municipal plan approval.
- No proof of public liability insurance or a verifiable business address.
- Cash-only with no tax invoice, or a large deposit up front.
- A vague quote with no materials detail.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Is any of this structural, and is it part of an NHBRC-registered build with approved plans?
- Are you registered with CIPC and insured, and what's your cidb grading for larger work?
- Can I see photos of comparable recent jobs?
- What guarantee do you give on the work?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy bricklayer / mason?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A bricklayer / mason backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend bricklayers / masons for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Bricklayers / masons are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a bricklayer / mason?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the bricklayer / mason, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
