If you want a garden boundary that looks sharp and stands firm, our team builds brickwork that suits Shirley’s streets. We construct boundary walls, retaining walls and feature walls with careful setting-out and clean lines. Homeowners near Shirley Windmill and Addington Hills often ask for walls that add privacy without blocking light. We can also incorporate pillars, coping and engineering brick where extra durability is needed.
Shirley has plenty of 1930s semis, detached homes and newer developments, each with different brick tones and garden levels. We regularly create brick walls Shirley area clients need for front gardens, side returns and raised beds that keep soil in place. Where existing brickwork is worth keeping, we match brick size, colour and mortar profile to blend old and new. The result is a wall that looks like it has always belonged to the property.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and access, then provide a clear written specification. Footings, brick choice, pointing style and coping details are agreed before work begins, so there are no surprises. Our bricklayers work tidily, protect surrounding paving and leave edges clean and safe. Shirley homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, quality control, and a finish that lasts.
Across CR0 we often find mixed ground and sloping gardens, especially towards Addington, so we design retaining walls with drainage and stable foundations. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider Croydon boundary expectations, visibility near driveways, and neighbour lines before setting out. The aim is brick walls in London Borough of Croydon that look right and perform well year after year.

Costs vary with height, thickness, access and foundations. As a guide, a straightforward boundary wall is often £180–£300 per m², while taller or reinforced retaining walls commonly run £250–£450 per m² due to deeper footings and drainage. Pillars, coping stones, engineering brick and matching brickwork can add to the total. We’ll survey the site in CR0 and provide an itemised quote.
Most small garden walls take 2–5 days, including footings, bricklaying and finishing. Larger boundary runs or retaining walls may take 1–2 weeks, especially where excavation, drainage and steps are involved. Timescales depend on access for materials, curing time for concrete, and whether we’re matching existing brickwork or doing detailed pointing and coping. We’ll confirm a programme after the site visit.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but there are key exceptions. Front boundary walls next to a highway have height limits, and corner plots can have visibility requirements. If your property is affected by restrictions, or you’re altering a shared boundary, extra checks may be needed. We’ll advise what’s likely to apply in Shirley and can help you confirm requirements with Croydon Council before work starts.
Yes. Our brickwork comes with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as movement caused by inadequate footings, poor bonding, or defective pointing. It also covers failures linked to our installation of coping and structural elements where specified. Normal wear, accidental damage, or problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We’ll explain the warranty terms clearly in writing with your quote.
You can choose from standard facing bricks, engineering bricks for damp or heavy-duty areas, and reclaimed-style options for period character. Popular designs include stepped walls on slopes, recessed panels for feature walls, and matching pillars for gates. Coping can be brick-on-edge, stone coping, or concrete copings for a crisp finish. We’ll bring samples, match existing brickwork where possible, and recommend pointing styles to suit your home.
