If you need a new boundary line, a smarter frontage or extra support on a sloping garden, we build brickwork that performs and looks right for Woolwich homes. We regularly work around SE18, including properties near the Royal Arsenal and routes leading to the Woolwich Ferry. Our team constructs boundary walls, retaining walls and feature walls with careful setting-out and durable materials. The result is brickwork that stays plumb, drains correctly and complements the street scene.
Woolwich has a mix of Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments, so brick choice and detailing matter. We can source matching brick to blend with existing façades, or specify engineering brick where extra strength and moisture resistance are needed. For older gardens, we pay close attention to movement, existing footings and the condition of adjacent structures. If you’re in Plumstead or Charlton, we’ll tailor the design to suit access, levels and neighbouring boundaries.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, ground conditions and the safest wall layout. You’ll receive clear options for coping, pillars and pointing style, plus a straightforward schedule and tidy working practices. Our bricklayers build to current standards, using proper foundations and reinforcement where required. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, consistent finishes and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Across the brick walls Woolwich area, access can be tight on terrace streets and around apartment blocks, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions vary near the Thames, so we assess footing depth and drainage before we build. We also consider boundary heights, visibility at driveways and any shared-wall agreements. For brick walls in Royal Borough of Greenwich, we keep finishes consistent with local streetscapes and regeneration-era builds.

Costs depend on height, length, foundations, access and whether it’s structural (retaining) or decorative. As a guide, a straightforward boundary wall often falls around £180–£350 per m², while retaining walls with drainage and reinforcement are commonly £300–£600+ per m². Pillars, coping stones, matching brick and intricate pointing can increase the budget. We’ll measure on site in SE18 and provide a detailed breakdown.
A small garden boundary wall may take 1–3 days once materials are on site. Larger runs, pillars and coping typically take 3–7 days, while retaining walls can take 1–2 weeks due to excavation, foundations, drainage and curing time. Timescales are affected by access, weather, demolition of existing walls and brick availability (especially when matching older stock). We confirm a realistic programme after the survey.
Many garden and boundary walls are permitted development, but rules can apply to height, location next to a highway, and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. If you’re near Woolwich Town Centre or in a converted historic building, extra constraints may apply. We’ll talk through the likely requirements, check guidance for the Royal Borough of Greenwich, and recommend when to confirm with the council before work starts.
Yes. Our brickwork comes with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as defective pointing, poor bonding, or failures caused by incorrect construction. It’s designed to give you confidence that the wall has been built with proper foundations, alignment and weather protection. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or movement caused by external factors like major ground works nearby, but we’ll always advise on prevention.
We can build boundary, retaining and feature walls using facing brick, engineering brick for tougher conditions, or matching brick to blend with existing Victorian terraces and newer developments. Popular upgrades include brick pillars, recessed panels, soldier courses, and coping in brick-on-edge or stone. Pointing can be flush, bucket-handle or weather-struck depending on the look you want. We’ll bring samples and help you choose a finish that suits your property and budget.
