Whether you’re near The Oval cricket ground or walking distance from Oval tube station, a well-built brick wall adds security and definition to your outdoor space. We construct boundary walls for front gardens, retaining walls for level changes, and feature walls that elevate patios and entrances. Every build is finished with accurate pointing and durable coping where needed. Work is planned to minimise disruption on SE11 streets.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often come with compact gardens, shared boundaries and older brickwork that needs careful matching. We source matching brick to blend new sections into existing walls, or specify engineering brick where strength and moisture resistance matter. For properties around Kennington and Vauxhall, we also design walls that respect original proportions and sightlines. The result looks right for the street, not like an afterthought.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, access and any structural requirements, then provide a clear written specification. Foundations, brick bonds, weep holes (where required) and pointing profiles are chosen for longevity, not speed. Our team keeps the site orderly and communicates timings so you know what’s happening each day. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installations.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common around Kennington Park and SE11 side streets. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to keep things smooth with neighbours and local rules. Many gardens sit close to existing structures, so we set out carefully and protect surrounding paving and planting. Where ground levels vary, we advise on retaining wall detailing and drainage to reduce movement and staining.

Costs depend on height, thickness, foundations, access and brick choice. As a guide, a simple boundary wall in the brick walls Oval area may start around £180–£300 per m², while higher or structural retaining walls can be £350–£650+ per m² due to reinforcement, drainage and deeper footings. Pillars, coping, matching brick and decorative pointing will affect the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most small boundary walls take 2–5 days, including excavation and foundations, then bricklaying and finishing. Larger builds such as retaining walls, pillars and long runs typically take 1–3 weeks, especially if there are steps, curves or multiple levels. Timescales can change with access near busy roads, drying time for footings, and the availability of matching brick. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but there are common limits, particularly for front boundary walls facing a highway and for properties in conservation areas. In the London Borough of Lambeth, extra rules may apply near listed buildings or where original boundary treatments are protected. We’ll discuss height, location and visibility, and can help you check requirements before work begins. If permission is needed, we can support with drawings and specifications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brick wall installations, covering workmanship issues such as defective pointing, movement caused by incorrect construction, or failure due to inadequate foundations (where we’ve specified and built them). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or problems caused by third-party alterations or extreme events. We also advise on ongoing care, including cleaning methods and repointing intervals for exposed elevations.
We can build traditional boundary walls, retaining walls and feature walls using London stock-style bricks, reclaimed bricks for character, or engineering brick for strength and moisture resistance. Popular upgrades include brick-on-edge or stone coping, recessed or weather-struck pointing, and brick pillars with caps for gates. We’ll help you choose bonds, colours and finishes that suit Georgian and Victorian façades, and we can match existing brickwork for seamless repairs or extensions.
