Those grand Victorian properties lining Putney Hill deserve boundaries that match their character. Whether you're restoring period brickwork or creating something entirely new, the right wall transforms both security and street appeal.

Putney's architectural diversity calls for brickwork that respects its surroundings. From the conservation areas near the Common to the newer developments towards East Putney, each property has its own story. Victorian terraces with their narrow frontages benefit from carefully proportioned walls, whilst the larger plots near Putney Heath offer scope for more elaborate designs. Local planning considerations often shape what's possible, particularly in the conservation zones.
Clay selection matters enormously in SW15's variable weather conditions. London stocks blend seamlessly with existing Victorian structures, whilst modern engineering bricks handle the constant moisture from Thames proximity. Proper foundations go deeper than standard specifications here - the London clay beneath Putney shifts seasonally. Expansion joints placed every six metres prevent the cracking that plagues hastily-built walls throughout the area.
Twenty-three years working between Barnes Bridge and Roehampton means knowing which suppliers deliver genuine reclaimed bricks, not just weathered reproductions. The difference shows after the first winter.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Standard height walls (1.2m) using quality facing bricks start around £280 per linear metre. Period-appropriate designs with pillars and copings generally range £350-450 per metre. Larger properties near Putney Heath requiring substantial runs often work out slightly less per metre.
Absolutely - from the riverside properties near Putney Bridge through to the heights of Roehampton Lane. The SW15 district is our core territory, including all the residential streets between the High Street and Richmond Park.
Most residential walls take 2-3 weeks from breaking ground to final pointing. Larger estate walls or those requiring extensive groundwork might stretch to 4-5 weeks, weather permitting.
Each wall carries decade-long coverage against structural movement and frost damage. This includes the foundations, mortar joints, and any integrated features like piers or copings - essentially everything we build.
Matching century-old brickwork requires sourcing from specific reclamation yards, sometimes waiting for the right batch. The mortar mix needs careful adjustment too - modern cement looks stark against original lime mortar. Most matches achieve 90-95% accuracy once weathered.
