Those characterful Victorian properties throughout Catford deserve boundaries that match their heritage. Whether you're tackling that sloping garden typical of SE6 or simply want something more substantial than timber fencing, brick walls create permanence.
Response within 24 hours
Catford's eclectic mix of housing presents unique challenges for boundary solutions. From compact terraced plots near the Broadway to larger Edwardian properties towards Mountsfield Park, each project demands careful consideration. Brick walls suit this area particularly well – they complement the existing architecture whilst solving practical issues like privacy between close-set houses.
Construction begins with proper foundations, essential given the London clay prevalent across SE6. Height restrictions vary depending on your property's position, but most residential walls range from 600mm to 1.8m. Material selection matters too: reclaimed London stocks blend seamlessly with period properties, whilst contemporary facing bricks suit modern developments. Proper damp-proofing prevents that telltale white efflorescence common in our climate.
Twenty years building across South East London means understanding local planning quirks and soil conditions. Every wall built in Catford stands testament to traditional techniques adapted for modern standards.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Straightforward garden walls start around £150 per linear metre, though prices climb for decorative brickwork or challenging access. Most Catford gardens see projects between £2,500-£8,000 depending on length and complexity.
Absolutely – from Rushey Green right through to Bellingham. Regular projects span the entire SE6 postcode, plus neighbouring areas like Forest Hill and Hither Green.
Standard garden walls take 5-10 working days once started. Weather permitting, smaller retaining walls might finish within a week.
Each wall carries decade-long structural coverage. This includes foundation integrity, mortar joints, and overall stability – essentially everything except impact damage.
Definitely – it's one of our most common requests. Existing posts usually need removing completely, but the transformation from tired concrete to proper brickwork dramatically improves both aesthetics and property value.
