Chelsea gardens often need brickwork that balances security with architectural detail. Whether you’re close to King’s Road or near the Saatchi Gallery, we build boundary walls, retaining walls and feature walls that suit the streetscape. Expect crisp joints, tidy sites and brickwork that complements existing masonry. We can also form pillars, coping and detailed returns for entrances and side passages.
Our team is used to working around Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments across SW3 and SW10. In the brick walls Chelsea area, matching existing brick and mortar colour is often the difference between “new” and “always been there”. We source matching brick where possible, and use engineering brick where extra strength or damp resistance is required. Pointing profiles are chosen to suit period façades and garden elevations.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and any retaining requirements, then provide a clear written scope. Every wall is set out carefully, built on proper footings, and finished with consistent pointing and clean edges. We protect paving and planting, keep neighbours informed where access is tight, and leave the site spotless. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea means planning for restricted parking, controlled bays and narrow mews access. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess footing depth and drainage before laying foundations, especially for retaining walls. We also consider neighbouring party walls, sight lines and heritage character common around Chelsea and nearby Knightsbridge. Our approach keeps the build compliant, considerate and structurally sound.

Costs in Chelsea depend on height, access, foundations and brick choice. As a guide, a straightforward boundary wall may start around £250–£450 per m², while retaining walls with drainage and reinforcement are often £450–£800+ per m². Pillars, coping stones, matching brickwork and specialist pointing can increase the total. We’ll survey the site and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most small garden walls take around 2–5 days, depending on length, height and whether new footings are required. Retaining walls or walls with multiple pillars, steps or curves typically take 1–3 weeks. Timescales can change with restricted access, parking arrangements, curing time for foundations, and weather. We’ll confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but there are limits, particularly for walls next to highways and for listed buildings or conservation areas. In parts of the borough, additional controls can apply, and boundary changes may also involve party wall considerations. We’ll advise on likely requirements, check constraints where relevant, and can help you prepare information for the council if an application is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brick wall workmanship, covering issues such as structural failure caused by defective installation, poor bonding or inadequate footings (where included in our scope). Materials are installed to manufacturer guidance, and we use appropriate mortar mixes and detailing to manage water run-off. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, ground movement beyond reasonable control, or alterations by others.
We build boundary walls, retaining walls and feature walls using matching brick, reclaimed-style options, or engineering brick for strength and moisture resistance. Popular finishes include soldier courses, recessed or flush pointing, and coping in brick-on-edge, stone, or pre-cast units. We can also add pillars, piers and capped returns for entrances. We’ll bring samples and recommend designs that suit your property and budget.
