Brick walls tell a story in SM5 - whether it's replacing crumbling Victorian boundaries or creating privacy for new-build gardens. Around Carshalton Beeches, you'll spot everything from ornate pillared entrances to simple stock brick dividers. Local soil conditions, particularly the clay beneath much of the area, demand proper foundations that won't shift with the seasons.
Foundation depth varies dramatically between Hackbridge's newer developments and Wallington's established roads. Frost protection requires digging at least 600mm, though clay movement often pushes this deeper. Mortar mix ratios change with weather exposure - north-facing walls near Sutton Common need stronger mixes than sheltered spots. Each course gets checked against string lines because even tiny deviations compound over height.
Twenty-three years building around SM5 means knowing which merchants stock matching bricks for period repairs. Materials arrive from yards five minutes away, not distant depots adding delivery charges.
