Welcome to O'Brien's Builds — Trusted Building, Brickwork & Property Solutions Across the Northwest
Hi, I’m Sam O'Brien, owner of O'Brien's Builds. With over 18 years' experience in the construction industry, I bring knowledge, passion and craftsmanship to every job. I’m a time-served bricklayer and builder, having completed my full apprenticeship with G&J Seddon in Farnworth, Bolton. Construction is in my blood — I followed in the footsteps of my father, a master stonemason, and I’ve worked both here in the UK and overseas, including several years in Australia.
I’m proud to offer a personal, professional service where no job is too big or too small. I work independently, which means you always deal directly with me — ensuring clear communication and complete dedication to your project.
What I Do:
I offer a wide range of expert services for domestic and commercial clients, including:
Brickwork & Stonework
• Bespoke garden walls & retaining walls
• Decorative brick and stone features
• Repointing, paving, concreting & flagging
• Patios, pathways & landscaping
General Building & Joinery
• Interior and exterior joinery (small and large projects)
• Shed builds, custom outdoor structures & timber work
• Resealing kitchens and bathrooms
• Demolition and site clearance (non-structural knock-throughs)
Painting & Decorating
• Domestic and commercial painting
• Large spray painting for interiors and exteriors
Drone Surveying & Inspections (5+ years’ experience)
• Land surveying and mapping
• Aerial photography and videography
• Roof and site inspections
• Lost property search and search & rescue assistance
• Detailed reporting tailored to customer requirements
• Fast turnaround — reports and data available within 24 hours where required
Why Choose Me:
I take great pride in my work, always aiming for the highest standards. From planning to completion, I am tidy, respectful and focused on delivering outstanding, long-lasting results. Many of my clients return for new projects or recommend me to friends and family.
All projects are tailored to your needs, and I am happy to offer advice on materials, design options and finishes to help bring your ideas to life.
