From Lordship Lane gardens to plots near Dulwich Park, well-built brickwork adds privacy, structure and value. We construct boundary walls, retaining walls and feature walls that sit comfortably alongside planting and paving. If you need pillars for gates or coping to finish a wall properly, we detail it so it looks intentional rather than ‘added on’. Expect clean workmanship and a site kept orderly throughout.
East Dulwich has a high proportion of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, and the brickwork often needs to blend with existing façades and garden walls. We regularly source matching brick and use engineering brick where strength and damp resistance matter most. Whether you’re in SE22 near Peckham Rye or closer to Dulwich Village, we’ll advise on heights, returns and finishes that suit the property’s proportions. Our aim is brickwork that looks original to the home, not a patchwork repair.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and any retaining requirements, then provide a clear written quote. Foundations, wall ties, coping and pointing are specified properly, with photos shared at key stages if you’re not at home. Fine Landscaping is based around 20 minutes away, so aftercare and snagging are straightforward. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, tidy work and a 10-year warranty on our brickwork.

Costs vary with height, thickness, foundations and access. As a guide, a straightforward single-skin boundary wall might start around £180–£280 per m², while thicker or taller walls with stronger footings are often £250–£450 per m². Retaining walls, engineering brick, coping stones, pillars and detailed pointing can increase budgets. After a site visit in SE22 we’ll provide a fixed, itemised quote.
Most small garden walls take 2–5 working days, including foundations and curing time, while longer boundaries or walls with pillars and coping commonly take 1–2 weeks. Retaining walls can take longer due to excavation, drainage and reinforcement. Timescales depend on access, weather, brick availability (especially matching brick) and whether we’re tying into existing structures. We’ll confirm a programme before starting.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but there are limits, particularly for walls next to a highway (including footpaths) and for listed buildings or conservation areas. Heights, visibility splays and boundary positions can also matter. We’ll ask the right questions at survey stage and can help you check Southwark guidance where needed. If permission is required, we’ll build to the approved details.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installation, covering structural defects caused by workmanship, such as failing mortar joints, movement due to inadequate foundations, or poorly fixed copings. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or issues caused by third-party alterations or extreme events beyond reasonable control. We also give care guidance for cleaning and early maintenance to keep the wall looking sharp.
We can build in reclaimed or new matching brick, add engineering brick at ground level for durability, and finish with brick-on-edge, stone or concrete coping. Popular choices include flush or weather-struck pointing, recessed joints for a sharper shadow line, and feature details such as piers, pillars and soldier courses. We’ll bring samples where possible and recommend options that suit your home’s age, colour and garden layout.
