Brick walls define the character of Epsom's streetscapes, from the Victorian terraces near the station to the spacious plots around the Downs. Whether you're restoring period boundary walls or creating contemporary garden features, skilled brickwork transforms outdoor spaces.

Epsom's varied topography presents unique challenges for wall construction. Those steep driveways leading up from Ashley Road need properly engineered retaining walls, whilst properties backing onto the chalk downs require foundations that account for ground movement. Local knowledge matters when you're building something permanent – understanding how Surrey clay behaves through the seasons prevents future problems.
Modern brick walls do more than mark boundaries. Sound reduction becomes crucial for gardens facing the A24 or properties near the racecourse on event days. Double-skin construction with insulation creates effective acoustic barriers. Meanwhile, incorporating planters and seating turns functional walls into garden features. Engineering calculations ensure walls handle lateral loads, particularly important for those sloping gardens common around Epsom Downs.
Having laid thousands of bricks across Epsom since 1987, patterns emerge. Each neighbourhood has its characteristic brick types and bonding patterns. Matching existing brickwork requires sourcing from specific kilns, sometimes tracking down reclaimed stocks from local demolitions.

Garden walls in Epsom generally range from £450-£700 per linear metre, depending on height and complexity. A standard 1.8m boundary wall for a typical KT18 property might cost £8,000-£12,000. Retaining walls cost more due to engineering requirements.
Yes, throughout KT17 (central Epsom and Ewell West), KT18 (Epsom Downs and Langley Vale), and KT19 (West Ewell and Stoneleigh). Also regularly working in neighbouring Ashtead and Banstead.
Most domestic walls take 2-4 weeks from foundation to coping stones. Weather impacts progress significantly – Surrey clay becomes unworkable during heavy rain. Planning permission, if required, adds 8-10 weeks beforehand.
All structural walls carry decade-long protection against defects. This covers foundation movement, frost damage, and mortar failure. Annual inspections for the first three years catch any settlement issues early. Documentation provided for house sales.
Epsom's Edwardian homes typically feature red Surrey stock or yellow London stocks. Specialist suppliers hold reclaimed bricks from local sources. Where exact matches prove impossible, careful blending and weathering techniques create seamless transitions. Mortar matching involves analysing original samples for lime content and aggregate size.
