Sidcup's mix of 1930s semis and newer developments each present unique challenges for brickwork. Whether you're dealing with sloping gardens near Foots Cray or need boundary solutions for those compact plots off Blackfen Road, proper brick construction makes all the difference.

Those steep gardens backing onto Lamorbey Park? Perfect candidates for retaining walls. The clay soil throughout DA14 and DA15 shifts seasonally, putting pressure on existing structures. Many homeowners discover their original walls weren't built with adequate foundations - particularly common in properties near Halfway Street where the ground conditions vary dramatically.
Modern brickwork goes beyond stacking blocks. Proper drainage channels prevent water buildup behind retaining walls. Steel reinforcement adds strength where Sidcup's notorious London clay expands and contracts. Expansion joints accommodate natural movement, preventing those unsightly cracks that plague older walls throughout Chislehurst borders.
Twenty-three years working across Sidcup means knowing which suppliers stock matching bricks for every era of local housing. From sourcing reclaimed stocks for Edwardian properties to selecting frost-resistant options for exposed positions near Bexley borders.
