How much should garden wall repairs cost?

Question

We have a 1930s semi with a brick garden wall about 10 metres long and a section has started leaning after the winter. A local bricklayer quoted £900 to take down and rebuild the leaning part. Does that sound about right or should we get more quotes?

Really depends on how much of the wall is leaning tbh and whether the bricks can be recycled, I can come and have a look if u would like a second option.

Usually when a job involves taking parts of the wall down and re building then you are charged for the time of the demolition and clean up and then the re build. Most bricklayers won’t mind if you as them if they are charging you day work or charging you a day to demolish and clean and then a price per brick to re build the wall. Sometimes you pay more for a job like this compared the simply just building a new wall unfortunately. Get another two quotes and if they all come within the same price bracket then you know what price to expect. P.S the cheapest quote isn’t always the best choice.
