If you’re upgrading a garden, courtyard or frontage near Elephant Park or Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre, well-built brickwork makes an immediate difference. We construct boundary walls, retaining walls and feature walls that suit modern developments as well as older streets. Expect crisp brick lines, accurate levels and pointing that stays weather-tight. We also rebuild unstable sections and integrate new pillars and coping for a finished look.
Elephant & Castle includes modern high-rises, Victorian terraces and new-build apartments across SE1 and SE17. That mix often means tight access, shared boundaries and a need to match existing brickwork closely. We source matching brick where possible, and use engineering brick in exposed or ground-contact areas for extra durability. Whether it’s a small garden wall in Walworth or a frontage upgrade in Kennington, we tailor the build to the property style.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage and footing requirements, then provide a clear written scope. Our team protects paving and planting, keeps the site tidy, and schedules deliveries to minimise disruption. Every wall is built with correct foundations, alignment and expansion considerations where needed. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
In the brick walls elephant & castle area, access can be restricted by controlled parking zones and busy roads, so we plan loading and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions vary between older terrace gardens and newer podium or landscaped developments, which affects footing depth and retaining design. We also consider party wall boundaries and sightlines to neighbouring properties. Our approach meets local expectations and suits brick walls in London Borough of Southwark streetscapes.

Costs depend on height, thickness, foundations, access and the brick type. As a guide, a standard boundary wall often falls around £220–£450 per m², while retaining walls with deeper footings and drainage can be £350–£700+ per m². Pillars, coping stones, matching brick, and detailed pointing will add to the total. We’ll survey the site and provide a tailored, itemised estimate.
Most small garden or frontage walls take 2–5 days, including foundations and curing time, while larger boundary runs or retaining walls commonly take 1–3 weeks. Timescales vary with wall length, footing depth, weather, and whether we’re matching existing brickwork or rebuilding unstable sections. Restricted access around SE1/SE17 can also affect delivery and waste collection. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden and boundary walls are permitted development, but rules can change if the wall fronts a highway, exceeds certain heights, or sits within a conservation area. Retaining walls may also need extra consideration due to structural and drainage requirements. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check Southwark guidance before work begins. If approvals are needed, we’ll advise on the simplest route.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installation, covering workmanship issues such as movement caused by incorrect foundations, poor bonding, or defective pointing. It also covers problems linked to our installed coping and pillars where relevant. Natural weathering, accidental damage, or issues caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and how to maintain the wall for long-term performance.
You can choose from stock bricks, reclaimed-style options, or matching brick to blend with existing walls. For durability, we often specify engineering brick at ground level or in exposed areas, plus coping stones or brick-on-edge coping for a crisp top finish. Pointing can be flush, recessed or weather-struck depending on the look you want. We’ll bring samples, discuss proportions and pillars, and recommend what suits your property best.
