Ask your QuestionCan I build a brick shed DIY? What sort of building regulations/planning permission rules might apply and what can and can’t be undertaken DIY?
Asked by khalid on 5th May 2022"I’m sure you have 2 have some sort of planning permission if you go over 3 or 4 course of bricks not a 100% on it so would recommend seeking proper advice before just going ahead and building it.
Thanks

"I would advise against it, you should really get a brickie to do it for you"

Bricklaying looks easy but it's not takes years to become any good."
