About this service

Masonry forms the foundation of any construction, and the quality of the work affects the strength and durability of the whole building.

The work demands precision, knowledge of materials, and adherence to the plans, so the structure is straight, stable, and compliant. Whether you're starting a new build, making an extension, or repairing existing work, working with an experienced mason guarantees a solid, long-lasting result.

What to check before hiring a masonry

Make sure the mason uses a spirit level and plumb line to guarantee wall verticality
Plan material procurement in advance — AAC blocks and brick can be out of stock

Check required permits at the City Hall before starting fence or extension work
Request a written warranty and verify that work is executed according to the agreed plan
Verify whether the wall you want to demolish is structural before calling a mason

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does cracked foundation repair cost?

Cost depends on the extent of deterioration. Epoxy injection for superficial cracks can cost 500-2,000 RON. Foundation consolidation with micropiles or foundation extension can reach 10,000-50,000 RON for a house and requires specialist design.

Can a fence be built without a permit?

Fences under 2m in residential areas typically don't require a permit, but rules vary by municipality. Check with the Murta City Hall for local fence and enclosure conditions.

What thickness should an exterior wall be?

Current Romanian building standards recommend exterior walls of at least 30cm AAC or brick, plus 10-15cm of thermal insulation. Without additional insulation, 37.5cm or 50cm AAC may be sufficient.

Does a mason also build chimneys?

Yes, building or repairing chimneys falls within the mason's specialty. A new chimney requires refractory brick or ceramic pipe systems (Schiedel or similar) and must be correctly dimensioned for the stove or boiler it serves.

How do I know the mason is making proper joints?

Joints must be full, uniform, and 10-12mm for brick or 2-3mm for AAC with adhesive. An empty or uneven joint affects wall strength and insulation. Request intermediate photos or visit the site while work is in progress.

How long should masonry cure before plastering?

Brick masonry with traditional mortar should cure for 7-14 days before plastering. AAC masonry with adhesive can be plastered sooner, in 3-5 days, but this also depends on ambient temperature and humidity.
