About JC Brick & Blocklaying: Bricklayer Melbourne, Eastern Suburbs
21 Years on the Tools. Every Job Done by Hand.
Jamie started laying brick when he was 15. He's now 37, and in that time he's worked on everything from landmark Melbourne institutions to family backyards in the outer east. He started JC Brick & Blocklaying because he wanted to run his own jobs his own way, and deliver the kind of finish that actually makes him proud.
He's based in Croydon, Melbourne, and works across Melbourne's eastern suburbs every day. You'll find him on-site in Ringwood one morning and Doncaster the next. He brings a small team of qualified tradesmen and apprentices with him. The work is hands-on, personal, and delivered to a standard that shows.
Award-Winning Bricklaying in Melbourne's East
In 2026, JC Brick & Blocklaying was recognised as a Top 1% business in the Maroondah region by the Quality Business Awards. It's the kind of recognition that comes from years of turning up, doing the work properly, and leaving clients happy enough to tell their neighbours.
Jamie's also worked on some notable projects over the years, including the Margaret Court Arena players' facility revamp, dividing wall work at Swinburne University, and the elevator block lift shaft at Siena College in Camberwell. These days he focuses on residential and boutique commercial projects across Melbourne's east, where his custom mortar matching and remedial skills are in highest demand.
What Sets JC Brick & Blocklaying Apart
Full Supply and Install
Jamie handles everything. He sources the materials, organises delivery, and manages the whole job. You don't have to coordinate suppliers or chase anyone down. One call, one tradie, one invoice.
Custom Mortar Matching: 80 Colours
Jamie carries a chart with 80 custom mortar colours. If you're extending a period home in Balwyn or restoring heritage brickwork anywhere across Melbourne's east, he can match the existing mortar so well you'll have trouble telling old from new. It's a specialist skill that most bricklayers in Melbourne simply don't offer.
No Subcontracting
When Jamie quotes the job, Jamie builds it. His team of qualified tradesmen and apprentices work alongside him on every project. You know exactly who's on your property, and exactly who's responsible for the finish.
