Brick walls remain the gold standard for property boundaries across SW16's mix of period homes and newer developments. Those narrow side returns typical of Norbury's Victorian streets particularly benefit from well-built brick structures that maximise every inch whilst respecting original architecture. Garden walls here face unique challenges - from mature tree roots along Norbury Park's borders to the clay soil shifts common near Pollards Hill.
Proper foundations prevent the leaning and cracking that plague poorly constructed walls throughout Streatham and Thornton Heath. Deep concrete footings, correct mortar mixing, and systematic damp-proofing create structures that withstand decades of South London weather. Modern engineering calculations ensure retaining walls handle the sloped gardens found between Norbury station and Streatham Common without future movement.
Local knowledge matters when matching existing brickwork on Norbury's Edwardian properties. Years spent working across CR7 means understanding which brick suppliers stock the closest matches to original London stocks.

Single-skin garden walls generally run £140-180 per square metre, whilst double-skin construction ranges £220-280. Retaining walls with proper drainage start around £350 per square metre due to additional groundwork requirements.
Absolutely - from the conservation areas near Norbury Hall to newer estates around Pollards Hill. Regular projects span both SW16 and CR7, including Thornton Heath's residential streets.
Standard garden walls typically finish within 5-8 days including foundation curing. Larger boundary projects or retaining structures might extend to 2-3 weeks depending on access and ground conditions.
Each wall includes decade-long coverage against structural issues. This encompasses foundation integrity, mortar joint failures, and any movement problems - essentially everything except impact damage.
Period brick matching forms a regular part of projects across Norbury's inter-war housing. Specialist reclamation yards often stock exact matches, or quality alternatives achieve near-identical appearances once pointed correctly.
