Default Estimated cost of a garden wall

If I hired a builder to build a single leaf front garden wall ( 4
bricks high + fingers). Whats the estimated costs per meter ???


They don't work 'per metre' on piffling jobs like garden walls, especially
ones that are only 4 bricks high :-p
They price per metre when there's a few hundred metres to do, other than
that it's priced on day rate or per hundred or thousand bricks.
If you've only got a few hundred bricks to lay, either lay them yourself or
get a small builder in, it's unlikely a bricky will leave any kind of decent
sized job to go and lay a few hundred...a small builder will probably charge
you a day, approx £250, you supply the bricks.
