Kennington homeowners often need brickwork that looks original yet performs like new. Whether you’re near The Oval cricket ground or walking distance from Kennington Park, we build boundary walls, retaining walls and feature walls that complement the streetscape. Our team can rebuild failing sections, add pillars and coping, or create a new frontage that improves privacy and kerb appeal. We also repair and repoint tired joints to restore strength and finish.
The Kennington area includes Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks, each with its own brick sizes, tones and mortar styles. We source matching brick where possible and specify engineering brick for damp-prone or high-wear locations. For properties around Oval, Vauxhall and Elephant & Castle, we design walls that work with tight access and shared boundaries. The result is brickwork that sits comfortably alongside original details rather than looking like a patch.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage, foundations and any movement, then provide a clear written quote and schedule. Every wall is set out carefully, built plumb, and finished with tidy pointing and durable coping to shed water. We keep neighbours informed when boundaries are involved and leave the site clean at the end of each day. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Lambeth, we regularly deal with narrow side returns, basement levels and limited on-street parking, especially around SE11 and Kennington tube station. We plan deliveries to minimise disruption and can use smaller loads where access is restricted. Ground levels and drainage vary between streets, so we specify suitable footings and, for retaining walls, proper backfill and weep provision. Our brick walls kennington area projects are set out to suit boundary lines and existing paving levels.

Costs vary with height, foundations, access and brick choice. As a guide, a straightforward boundary wall in SE11 often starts around £180–£300 per m², while higher or more detailed work with pillars, coping and matching brick can be £300–£450+ per m². Retaining walls typically cost more due to excavation, drainage and reinforcement, commonly £350–£600+ per m². We provide a fixed written quote after a site visit.
Most small garden or frontage walls take 2–5 days, including setting out and foundations. Larger boundary runs, feature walls with pillars, or complex levels can take 1–2 weeks. Retaining walls may take longer because of excavation, drainage details and curing time for footings. Timescales are affected by access (common around Oval and Vauxhall), weather, and whether we’re matching existing brickwork or carrying out repairs and repointing.
Many garden and boundary walls are permitted development, but there are limits—especially for walls next to highways and for listed buildings or conservation areas. In Lambeth, front boundary height and visibility splays can be important, and party wall considerations may apply on shared boundaries. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and can help you check the rules before work starts. If permission is needed, we can advise on drawings and specifications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installation, covering workmanship issues such as defective laying, pointing failures and problems arising from incorrect construction methods. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage and ground conditions haven’t been altered in a way that undermines the wall. We also use quality materials suited to the job, including engineering brick where appropriate, to reduce moisture-related problems and prolong lifespan.
We build everything from simple boundary walls to feature walls with piers and decorative brick detailing. Popular options include engineering brick for durability, reclaimed or matching brick to suit Georgian and Victorian properties, and coping choices such as brick-on-edge, stone, or precast to protect the wall top. Pointing can be finished to suit the look of your home, from crisp flush to more traditional styles. We’ll bring samples and recommend combinations that suit your property and budget, including brick walls in London Borough of Lambeth styles.
