Those crumbling Victorian boundary walls throughout SE13 tell stories of Lewisham's past. Today's skilled bricklayers blend traditional craft with modern techniques, creating structures that'll outlast us all.

Lewisham's terraced streets and period properties demand brickwork that respects architectural heritage. From restoring weather-beaten garden walls along Lewisham High Street to crafting contemporary features for new developments near Hither Green station, proper bricklaying transforms properties. Local clay stocks match existing structures perfectly, whilst modern engineering ensures decades of stability.
Foundation depth varies dramatically between Blackheath's elevated plots and Deptford's riverside terrain. Ground movement affects older walls differently here - London clay expands and contracts seasonally. Professional assessment identifies whether pointing suffices or complete rebuild proves necessary. Structural calculations account for tree roots, particularly problematic near Lewisham's mature plane trees.
Twenty-three years working SE13's varied properties breeds genuine understanding. Neighbours recognise quality workmanship lasting through harsh winters and scorching summers alike.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Standard single-skin garden walls typically range £120-180 per square metre. Double-skin structural walls command £200-300, depending on access difficulties common to Lewisham's narrow passages.
Absolutely - SE13's conservation zones require specific brick matching and traditional pointing methods. Planning applications prepared alongside council-approved specifications.
Emergency stabilisation within 48 hours. Complete rebuilds generally schedule 7-14 days ahead, weather permitting.
Decade-long structural warranties cover all builds. Materials and workmanship protected against defects, settling excluded where pre-existing ground conditions apply.
Foundation assessment determines load capacity first. Many Victorian walls support additional courses, though planning permission applies above 2 metres. Lighter alternatives include trellis toppers.
