Sanderstead's mix of period homes and modern developments creates unique challenges for brickwork projects. Many properties along Limpsfield Road still feature original boundary walls from the 1900s that need sympathetic restoration. Meanwhile, newer estates towards Purley Oaks often require fresh installations to complement their contemporary aesthetics. Understanding which bricks, bonds and pointing styles suit each property type is something that comes from years of working across CR2.
Building a brick wall involves far more than stacking blocks with mortar. Foundation depth depends on soil conditions - particularly important given Sanderstead's chalk substrate and clay pockets near South Croydon. English bond provides maximum strength for retaining walls on sloped gardens, while Flemish bond creates attractive patterns for decorative boundaries. Proper damp-proof courses prevent moisture problems, especially crucial during our notoriously wet Surrey winters.
Having completed projects from Addington Road to Warlingham, we've developed relationships with local suppliers who stock bricks matching Sanderstead's existing architecture. Our portfolio includes everything from curved walls accommodating mature oak roots to precision-built pillars for electric gates.

Absolutely - from the Riddlesdown border right through to properties backing onto Mitchley Wood. We're equally familiar with access challenges on narrow lanes near All Saints Church as we are with the broader streets towards Hamsey Green.
A 20-metre boundary wall usually takes 5-7 working days including foundations. Weather permitting, we aim to complete smaller garden walls within 3-4 days.
Every wall we build carries a decade-long structural warranty covering frost damage, foundation movement and mortar integrity - essential protection given Sanderstead's freeze-thaw cycles.
