West Dulwich homeowners often want brickwork that looks original but performs like new. We build boundary walls, retaining walls and feature walls that complement streets near West Dulwich station and the green edges of Belair Park. Whether you’re defining a front garden or reshaping levels at the rear, we focus on stability, drainage and a neat finish. Work is planned to minimise disruption and keep access clear.
SE21 is known for Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and well-kept period conversions, where brick colour and joint style matter. We source matching brick where possible and can use engineering brick for damp-prone or load-bearing sections. If your existing wall is sound but tired, repointing can restore strength and kerb appeal without a full rebuild. Our team is used to tight side returns and shared boundaries typical of the West Dulwich area.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear recommendations on wall type, footing depth and coping details. You’ll receive a written scope, transparent options and a tidy programme of works. Every wall is built plumb, level and properly tied, with attention to drainage behind retaining walls. Local homeowners choose us for dependable communication, respectful working practices and a finish that stays sharp.
Across the London Borough of Lambeth, access and parking can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Gardens around Dulwich Village and Herne Hill often include mature planting and level changes, so we protect roots and design retaining walls with drainage in mind. We also consider boundary responsibilities and party wall sensitivities when working along shared lines. If permissions are needed for height or highway-facing walls, we’ll guide you through the checks.

Costs depend on height, thickness, access, foundations and whether it’s a retaining wall. As a guide, simple boundary walls often start around £250–£450 per m², while retaining walls with drainage and reinforcement can be £450–£800+ per m². Pillars, coping stones, demolition and waste removal are usually additional. We provide a site-specific quote after checking levels, ground conditions and brick matching requirements.
Most small garden walls take 2–5 days, including foundations and curing time, while larger boundary runs or retaining walls typically take 1–3 weeks. Timescales vary with access, demolition, footing depth, weather, and whether matching bricks need ordering. Retaining walls also take longer due to drainage, backfill and any stepped foundations. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden brick walls are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, whether the wall faces a highway, and if your property is in a conservation area. Front boundary walls are more likely to have restrictions, especially near pavements and visibility splays. We’ll discuss your plans, check the key Lambeth guidelines, and recommend when to confirm details with the council before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brick wall workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement caused by poor construction, defective pointing, or incorrect installation of coping and ties. It assumes normal use and excludes accidental damage, impact, or problems caused by pre-existing ground instability outside the wall footprint. We also use quality materials and proven build methods to reduce cracking and weathering over time.
We can build traditional boundary walls, retaining walls with drainage, feature walls, and brick pillars with coping. Options include engineering brick for strength, reclaimed or matching brick to suit period homes, and different pointing styles to change the look. Coping can be brick-on-edge, stone, or concrete to protect the wall. We’ll help you choose a design that suits your house style, budget and maintenance preferences.
