If your garden needs clearer boundaries, safer level changes or a smarter frontage, our brickwork team can help. We build boundary walls, retaining walls, feature walls and pillars across BR1, including around Grove Park and Bellingham. Many homeowners near Downham Fields choose brick for its durability and low maintenance. Expect accurate setting-out, straight lines and a finish that complements your property.
Downham’s established estate includes 1920s cottage homes, 1930s semis and post-war housing, each with its own brick tones and detailing. We source matching brick where possible so new work sits naturally alongside existing walls and façades. For higher-wear areas—front paths, bins stores and drive edges—we can specify engineering brick for extra strength. Whether you prefer traditional red, multi-stock or a cleaner modern look, we tailor the build to your house style.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage and foundations, then provide a clear written quotation. Our process covers everything: demolition and waste removal, footings, bricklaying, coping, and final pointing with a neat, consistent joint. We keep access routes tidy and coordinate deliveries to minimise disruption. Local homeowners trust us for reliable scheduling, quality control, and a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Costs vary with height, length, access and whether you need foundations, demolition or retaining engineering. As a guide, simple boundary walls often start around £180–£300 per m², while retaining walls with reinforced footings and drainage are commonly £300–£600+ per m². Pillars, coping and matching brick can add to the total. We’ll survey and provide an itemised quote for your BR1 property.
A small garden boundary wall may take 2–4 days, while longer runs with pillars and coping often take 1–2 weeks. Retaining walls can take longer due to deeper footings, drainage, and curing time. Weather, access for materials, and any demolition or skip placement will also affect the schedule. We agree a realistic programme upfront and keep you updated as the build progresses.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but there are limits—especially for front boundaries and walls next to highways.

We’ll advise on what’s likely to apply in the London Borough of Lewisham and can help you check any conditions before work starts. If permission is needed, we’ll support you with the details.

You’ll receive clear aftercare guidance to keep your wall looking its best.
We can build traditional boundary walls, retaining walls with drainage, and feature walls with piers or recessed panels.
