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.

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

Drone Surveying & Inspections (5+ years’ experience)

• Land surveying and mapping

• Aerial photography and videography

• Roof and site inspections

• 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.
