DA5 homeowners face unique challenges with boundary solutions. Those narrow side returns common in Bexleyheath Road properties? They need careful planning. Meanwhile, larger plots towards Crayford often require substantial retaining walls to manage those notorious clay soil level changes. Every brick wall project here starts with understanding your specific ground conditions and neighbour considerations.
Foundation depth depends entirely on what lies beneath your Bexley garden. Victorian properties often hide old footings and services that need working around. Modern builds near Sidcup typically sit on London clay, requiring deeper trenches to prevent seasonal movement. Proper drainage channels get incorporated during construction, essential for preventing that orange staining you'll spot on older walls throughout the area.
Fifteen years of building walls across Bexley means knowing which bricks match existing properties. Local planning officers appreciate attention to detail when you're visible from the street.

Standard single-skin garden walls run £180-220 per linear metre including foundations. Double-skin construction for taller boundaries usually falls between £280-350. Retaining walls vary considerably based on ground pressure calculations.
Absolutely - from the conservation areas near Bexley Village through to new developments approaching Crayford. Regular projects include Hurst Road, Parkhill Road and surrounding streets where Victorian properties dominate.
Most residential boundary walls take 5-8 days from excavation to pointing. Retaining structures need additional curing time. Weather plays its part - winter builds require frost protection measures.
Each wall carries decade-long structural coverage. This encompasses foundation integrity, frost damage resistance and mortar joint stability. Annual inspections help catch any settlement issues early.
Often possible with proper assessment. Concrete posts set in the 1960s-70s (common across Bexley estates) can form solid pillars within new walls. Steel reinforcement ties everything together, though some posts prove too weathered and need replacing.
