Victorian terraces meet contemporary extensions across Penge, where quality brickwork forms the backbone of every property. Whether replacing crumbling boundary walls or creating stunning garden features, solid foundations matter in SE20's varied terrain.
Response within 24 hours
Those narrow alleyways between Penge's terraced houses demand precise bricklaying skills. Clay soil shifts, mature trees push boundaries, and decades-old walls finally give way. Local knowledge counts when matching Victorian London stocks or choosing frost-resistant alternatives for exposed positions near Crystal Palace's higher ground.
Modern engineering techniques strengthen traditional appearances. Steel reinforcement bars thread through hollow cores whilst proper damp courses protect against SE20's notorious wet winters. Expansion joints accommodate seasonal movement - crucial where properties share party walls. Foundation depths vary according to local soil surveys, preventing future subsidence issues.
Twenty years working Penge's sloping streets teaches valuable lessons. Each project reflects understanding gained from neighbouring Anerley's railway embankments to Beckenham's tree-lined avenues.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Standard 1.8m garden walls run £140-180 per linear metre including foundations. Corner plots near Penge East station often need additional strengthening, adding 15-20% to base costs.
Absolutely - from Maple Road's Victorian villas to newer developments off Anerley Road. SE20's entire catchment falls within our regular working area.
Small boundary repairs complete within 3-4 days. Full perimeter walls around typical Penge gardens need 2-3 weeks, weather permitting.
Every wall carries decade-long structural coverage. Frost damage, mortar failure, and foundation movement - all protected for ten full years from completion date.
Sometimes, yes. Sound structures accept additional courses after careful assessment. However, many older Penge walls lack proper foundations, making complete reconstruction the safer long-term option.
