Those handsome Victorian terraces throughout Forest Hill deserve boundaries that match their character. Whether you're restoring crumbling garden walls or creating new divisions between properties, quality brickwork transforms outdoor spaces.

Forest Hill's sloping terrain and mature gardens present unique challenges for brick construction. Period properties from Horniman Gardens down to Sydenham Hill often feature original brick boundaries that have weathered over a century. Modern techniques allow us to match historical patterns while ensuring foundations cope with SE23's clay soil movement.
Proper foundation depth prevents future cracking - particularly important given the area's hillside location. Lime mortar pointing allows Victorian walls to breathe, preventing moisture damage common in older structures. Contemporary engineering solutions address subsidence issues without compromising aesthetic integrity. Weather-resistant capping stones protect against London's persistent rainfall.
Twenty years working across Forest Hill means understanding which brick suppliers stock matches for Edwardian properties. Local planning considerations around conservation areas near Horniman Museum require careful navigation.
