Owner-operator Richie Sturges leads an experienced team with more than 25 years of combined industry experience.

As Licensed Building Practitioners, the team provides professional brick, block and stone solutions tailored to suit the individual needs of each client and project.

Richie and his team are committed to delivering high-quality workmanship at competitive prices, while maintaining a friendly and approachable service from start to finish.

Following the Canterbury earthquakes, Richie’s Brick and Block worked on insurance-related projects alongside some of the industry’s largest insurers. The team continues to play a part in Christchurch’s rebuild, delivering durable, high-quality work designed to stand the test of time.

Safety is a priority across every worksite. Richie’s Brick and Block is a Site Safe member and supporter of the Canterbury Safety Charter, reflecting the company’s commitment to maintaining safe working practices.

The company is also a proud and active member of the Brick & Blocklayers Federation of New Zealand.

Just as important as the finished workmanship is the service clients receive along the way. Richie and his team aim to make every project straightforward and rewarding, with solutions tailored to the needs of each client.

Brick remains a popular and practical cladding choice for New Zealand homes and buildings. As a natural material, it requires little maintenance, retains its appearance and works well alongside other cladding materials. Its thermal properties can also help absorb and retain heat, while its density can help reduce noise.

From an entire home to a single feature wall, Richie’s Brick & Block brings the experience and practical knowledge needed to deliver quality masonry work that looks great and is made to last.

Natural Stonework

There is something distinctive about the appearance and character of natural stone. Richie and his team particularly enjoy working with Oamaru Stone, a natural limestone quarried in the South Island of New Zealand.

For properties that already feature Oamaru Stone, the team also provides cleaning and restoration services to help refresh and maintain its appearance. Richie’s Brick & Block also works with Summerhill Stone and Heritage Stone across a variety of projects.

Feature Brickwork and Masonry

Brick offers plenty of opportunities to create interesting architectural features. Richie’s Brick & Block constructs feature walls, garden walls, arches and other masonry elements, including more unusual designs that require a high level of skill and attention to detail.

Whether the project is large or small, residential or commercial, the same focus on quality workmanship, competitive pricing and attention to detail applies.

Richie prefers to meet clients on site before beginning a project. This provides an opportunity to discuss the work, understand the requirements and properly scope the project before providing a free quotation.

“Most impressed with Richie and his team. EQC chose their quote to replace a poor repair job on my chimney. Great job with brickwork and workplace left clean and tidy. The unexpected outcome with blocked drain following job which was attended to promptly within 2 hours of contacting them followed by an apology from Richie and a bottle of wine. Most impressed and would highly recommend them for quality workmanship and service.”
