Victorian terraces dominate Thornton Heath's residential streets, where original boundary walls have often crumbled after a century of London weather. Property owners here face unique challenges - from shared alleyways needing secure divisions to sloping gardens requiring retaining structures. Modern brickwork solutions respect the area's architectural heritage whilst meeting today's practical needs.
Foundation depth determines longevity in CR7's clay-heavy soil, particularly near the railway embankments. Proper drainage channels prevent the freeze-thaw damage that destroys so many walls locally. English bond or Flemish bond patterns complement period properties, while contemporary stack bond suits newer developments near Thornton Heath Station. Material selection considers both aesthetics and the specific microclimate between South Norwood and Broad Green.
