Bricklayer & Masonry in Montijo
Montijo has been growing outwards for years, and the masonry we are asked for reflects that mix. In Montijo centro and Afonsoeiro much of it is inside flats and townhouses: retiling, rendering, closing up walls after services have been renewed. Out towards Alto Estanqueiro, Sarilhos Grandes and Atalaia the plots are larger and the work moves outdoors, to boundary walls, steps, hardstanding and the small outbuildings that come with a house and land. We come out to look, put the scope and the materials in writing and set the days with you before anything starts. If a wall might be carrying load, we say so at that first visit rather than later on.

About our service in Montijo
New-build and near-new houses in Montijo bring their own list. Once the developer has gone, owners are often left with paving that sits too low, a threshold that ponds water, tiling that stops awkwardly at a doorway or a wall that needs squaring before units can be fitted. These are small jobs, but they need to be done in the right order and with the right make-up underneath, since a surface laid without a compacted base or a fall away from the house simply moves the problem indoors. Older property around the centre asks the opposite question: what is behind the surface. Hollow-sounding render has already parted from the wall and needs taking off rather than patching; a wall that is damp at the base will push a new coat off again unless the source is found and stopped first. That search is not a formality. A leaking waste connection, a cracked downpipe or a terrace above that has been letting water through for years all show up as a failing wall at ground level, and the render is the symptom. We also make good after other trades, which in Montijo often means a kitchen or bathroom that has just been re-plumbed and rewired. We fill chases, rebuild the small pieces of partition that were cut away, retile and level floors so the covering can go down flat, then hand over to the painter. Where a job would involve a load-bearing wall, a beam, a column or a slab, it needs a project drawn up by a qualified technician and authorisation from the câmara municipal, and work on a facade or a shared area needs the condomínio's agreement. Rules vary by município, so we check with the câmara for the address instead of assuming, and we say so before starting rather than after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Things Montijo customers commonly ask:
Can you square up walls before my new kitchen is fitted?
Yes, and it is worth doing before the units arrive rather than after. We render or dub out walls so they are flat and true, deal with any low or hollow patches, and level the floor where the run of units needs it. The kitchen fitter then has a straight line to work to, which shows in the finished job.
Water sits by my back door after rain. Is that a masonry job?
Usually, yes. It normally means the paving has no fall away from the house, or the level rose when a surface was laid over an older one. We check the levels, take up what is needed, correct the base and the fall, and set the threshold detail so water runs away from the building instead of collecting against it.
How do you work out the price for a wall or a patio?
By looking at the area, the condition of what is already there, the materials you choose, how the site is reached, whether machinery or scaffolding is needed and how much rubble has to be taken away. We visit, measure and give you a written no-obligation quote covering all of that, rather than a figure over the phone.
