Response within 24 hours
Whether you’re upgrading a front boundary or rebuilding a tired garden wall, we deliver brickwork that’s straight, strong and smart. We regularly work around SE14, including routes near New Cross station and the streets by Goldsmiths University. Our team builds boundary walls, retaining walls and feature walls, plus pillars and coping to finish the top neatly. If you need repairs, we can also repoint and make good without patchy results.
New Cross has a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, often with narrow side access and compact gardens. We take care to match existing brickwork so additions don’t look like an afterthought—ideal for period façades and garden boundaries. For heavier loads or damp-prone spots, we specify engineering brick where it matters. Homeowners across Deptford and Brockley choose us when they want brickwork that complements the property rather than overpowering it.
We start with a site visit to check levels, foundations and drainage, then provide a clear written specification. You’ll get guidance on brick matching, mortar colour, joint profile and coping options before any work begins. Our bricklayers keep the site tidy, protect neighbouring boundaries and communicate daily on progress. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally because we turn up, build to spec, and stand behind our work with a proper warranty.
Access can be tight around converted flats and terrace rows, so we plan deliveries and mixing areas carefully. We’re used to local parking restrictions and can schedule to minimise disruption on busier roads near Deptford Park and Telegraph Hill. Ground conditions vary, so we assess footing depth and water run-off before laying foundations. If your wall borders a public highway or a neighbour, we’ll advise on heights, finishes and boundary lines to avoid disputes.

Costs vary by height, thickness, foundations and brick choice. As a guide, straightforward boundary walls often start from around £180–£300 per m², while retaining walls with drainage and reinforced footings are commonly £250–£450+ per m². Pillars, coping stones, demolition and waste removal can add to the total. We’ll price after checking access, levels and whether matching bricks or engineering bricks are needed.
Small repairs and repointing can take 1–2 days, while a typical garden boundary wall is often 3–7 days depending on length and weather. Retaining walls usually take longer because of excavation, drainage and curing time for foundations—often 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in SE14 terraces, brick availability for matching, and whether old structures need careful demolition first.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can apply to height, especially next to a highway or footpath. Front boundary walls and walls by driveways may have stricter limits, and listed buildings or conservation areas can add requirements. We’ll talk through the basics, check what’s relevant for your street in the London Borough of Lewisham, and recommend contacting the council where needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brick wall construction, covering workmanship and structural integrity when built to our specification. This includes issues such as defective pointing, movement caused by inadequate foundations, or coping failures due to poor installation. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or problems caused by third-party alterations and drainage changes. We’ll also give maintenance advice to keep the wall looking its best.
We build boundary walls, retaining walls and feature walls using matching brick where possible, with engineering brick for strength and moisture resistance. Popular options include brick-on-edge or stone coping, recessed or weather-struck pointing, and decorative details such as piers/pillars and soldier courses. If you’re unsure, we bring samples and help you choose a finish that suits your property style and the look of neighbouring brickwork.
