Fireplaces and Chimneys Across the Gold Coast

Gold Coast Pro Bricklayers builds brick fireplaces and repairs chimney brickwork across the Gold Coast.

Whether it’s a new fireplace going into a living room, an outdoor fireplace for an alfresco, or a chimney that has lost its mortar above the roofline, it is all the same masonry trade. What gets built at the hearth carries through the flue and out above the roof, which is why one bricklayer handles both ends of it.

Brickwork is finished ready for rendering or painting, and all work is carried out under QBCC licence 15383405.

Fireplace and Chimney Work We Carry Out

Brick Fireplace Installation

Fireplaces built from the hearth up in face brick, sized around the firebox or insert going into them and tied into the wall around it.

Feature and Outdoor Fireplaces

Outdoor fireplaces and feature walls in brick or block, built for an alfresco or a courtyard and finished to suit the space around them.

Chimney Repairs

Cracked, spalled or shifting chimney brickwork repaired, including the sections above the roofline that take the weather from every direction.

Repointing Above the Roofline

Failed mortar raked out and repointed where a chimney has weathered, which is what stops water tracking down into the brickwork below.

Partial Chimney Rebuilds

Sections rebuilt where the brickwork has gone past repair, taken back to sound courses and relaid with the closest matching bricks available.

Flashing and Capping Brickwork

Brickwork made good around flashings and capping where water has been getting in at the roof junction rather than through the chimney itself.

Chimney Repairs on the Gold Coast

A chimney takes more weather than any other brickwork on a house, because it is exposed on four sides and has nothing above it.

That shows up first in the mortar. Joints go soft and start dropping out, water gets into the brickwork behind them, and salt air speeds the whole thing up. Left long enough the brick faces spall, and at that point repointing is no longer enough.

Chimney sweeping and flue cleaning are not offered. The work here is the masonry.

What Changes the Price

Fireplaces and chimneys price on access and on how much of the brickwork is still sound.

What affects the cost of fireplace and chimney work on the Gold Coast:

Job What changes the price
Fireplace installation Firebox or insert size, hearth construction, brick choice, tie-in to the existing wall
Outdoor fireplaces Size, whether a slab is already there, brick or block, and the finish it is left in
Chimney repairs Extent of the spalling or cracking, how many courses are affected, brick availability
Repointing Area of the chimney, how deep the mortar has failed, mortar colour matching
Partial rebuilds How far down the sound brickwork starts, and whether the chimney has to be propped
Access Roof pitch, height, and whether scaffolding or a lift is needed to work safely

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of a brick fireplace on the Gold Coast is priced per job, because the firebox, the hearth and the tie-in to the existing wall all change the work. An outdoor fireplace on an existing slab is a different build to one cut into a finished living room wall.

Yes, we repair chimneys as well as building fireplaces. Cracked and spalled brickwork, failed mortar and partial rebuilds above the roofline are all part of the work, and it is the same masonry trade as the fireplace below it.

No, we do not do chimney sweeping or flue cleaning. The work here is the brickwork itself, so a chimney sweep handles the soot and the flue lining, and we handle the masonry around it.

A leaking chimney is either failed mortar letting water into the brickwork or flashing that has lifted at the roof junction. Those are two different repairs, so the cause gets identified before anything is quoted.

Yes, we match the bricks on an old chimney as closely as we can. On older houses the original brick is frequently out of production, so the nearest available is sourced and laid into the sound courses, and tinting afterwards closes most of what is left.

Yes, we build outdoor fireplaces in brick or block for alfresco areas and courtyards. The main things that decide the build are whether there is already a slab to work off and what finish you want it left in, both of which get sorted at quoting stage.

No, we don’t charge for quotes on fireplace or chimney work anywhere on the Gold Coast. The scope and price come back to you in writing, including any access equipment the chimney work needs.

How the Job Runs

The following are the steps to our quick and easy process:

Step 2: On-site look

A licensed bricklayer looks at the brickwork, works out what is sound and what has to come out, and checks the access.
3

Step 3: Quote and scope

You get the scope and the price in writing, including any access equipment the chimney needs.
4

Step 4: Build and handover

The work is carried out and cleaned down, then handed back ready for tinting, render or paint where that applies.
