We just did our front wall ourselves for about £600, 4m x 1.5m (not load bearing or anything, just a tidy double skinned wall with 4 pillars and stone caps). Brick laying isn't difficult, but time consuming.

If I was time rich I'd have at it.

TBH I'd love to do that but in our case it need to be retaining at the bottom due to height differences and cutting back a slab that they've put on our land, and effectively recovering what has been annexed. The latter I feel is best delt with by a 3rd party so it doesn't feel like we're kicking their space.

My grandad was a brick layer. He used to say any fool could do it, but it took skill to do it quickly.

Our neighbours just got quoted £3.5k just for the wall, which doesn't seem like great value :(
