Kent's chalky soil and steep gradients create unique challenges for brickwork projects. Years of experience across Sevenoaks taught us which techniques work best on everything from Wildernesse Avenue's sloping gardens to the flat plots near Knole Park. Local frost patterns, drainage issues, and the specific requirements of conservation areas all influence how we approach each wall.
Foundation depth depends entirely on ground conditions and wall height - something particularly crucial given the varying elevations between Riverhead and central Sevenoaks. Proper drainage channels prevent the water damage that ruins so many walls during Kent's wet winters. Expansion joints accommodate seasonal movement, while the right mortar mix ensures longevity whether you're in exposed Kemsing or sheltered Dunton Green.
Twenty years building walls throughout the Darent Valley means recognising exactly what works where. The same team handles every project from initial groundwork through to final pointing, maintaining consistency locals appreciate.

Standard single-skin walls generally run £140-180 per square metre, while double-skin construction starts around £220. Retaining walls on slopes like those near Otford station require engineering calculations, typically costing £300-450 per square metre depending on height and ground pressure.
Absolutely - from TN13's town centre properties to TN14 covering Halstead and Knockholt, plus TN15 including Wrotham and Borough Green. Regular projects span from Seal village to Shoreham's rural lanes.
A straightforward 20-metre garden wall typically completes within 5-7 working days, weather permitting. Larger retaining structures or walls requiring planning permission naturally extend timelines - usually 2-3 weeks for substantial projects.
Every wall carries decade-long coverage against structural failure, frost damage, or foundation issues. This includes annual inspections for the first three years - particularly valuable given Sevenoaks' freeze-thaw cycles.
Matching Victorian or Edwardian brickwork requires sourcing reclaimed materials and traditional pointing techniques. We maintain relationships with regional suppliers who stock period-appropriate bricks, ensuring extensions blend seamlessly with original walls throughout Sevenoaks' conservation areas.
