No bricklayer listed in Kirkton yet.

A bricklayer builds and repairs structures using bricks, blocks and mortar - from garden walls, pillars and steps to extensions, foundations and chimney rebuilds.

Brickwork is structural and visible, so quality matters on both counts - a good bricklayer works level, plumb and consistent with clean joints throughout.

For any work on a shared or boundary wall, check whether your project requires a building warrant under Scottish building regulations before the first brick is laid.

Kirkton is a post-war housing scheme in the north of Dundee, developed from the late 1940s onwards and sitting between Downfield and the Fintry area.

The neighbourhood has local shops, a primary school and a community centre and is well served by bus routes running south towards the city centre.

Kirkton has a settled, family-oriented character and its location on the northern edge of the city gives it a slightly more open feel than many inner-city neighbourhoods.

Dundee is a compact city on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, Scotland's fourth-largest, with a narrow belt of suburbs stretching east to the handsome seaside village of Broughty Ferry and west to Invergowrie on the Carse of Gowrie.

The city has a gritty, unpretentious character shaped by its industrial past - jute, jam and journalism were the famous 'three Js' - and that working heritage gives Dundee a warmth and directness that sets it apart from Scotland's other cities.

The waterfront has been transformed in recent years, with V&A Dundee anchoring a regeneration that stretches along the Tay, but the real character of the city is in its neighbourhoods - the West End's cafes and independent shops, the Stobswell community, the views from the Law and the harbour feel of Broughty Ferry.

Dundee punches well above its weight in technology and research. The studios behind Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings are based here, and the University of Dundee and Abertay University drive strengths in life sciences, digital media, art and design.

Despite its city status, Dundee is remarkably walkable - most neighbourhoods are within a few miles of the centre - and the Tay Road Bridge, railway station and A90 connect it quickly to Fife, Perth and Aberdeen.
