Canary Wharf homeowners expect brickwork that looks sharp against glass, steel and landscaped courtyards. We build and repair garden walls, boundary walls, retaining walls, pillars and piers, plus brick BBQ areas, planters and steps. Whether you’re near One Canada Square or walking distance to Crossrail Place, we deliver neat detailing and a finish that suits contemporary living. We also handle repairs and repointing to keep existing brickwork safe and presentable.
Much of E14 is made up of modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses, often with balconies, podium gardens and communal boundaries. We’re used to working with building managers, access restrictions and time windows, especially around the Isle of Dogs and Poplar. If you’re upgrading a terrace area, creating a raised planter, or stabilising a sloping section with a retaining wall, we design the brickwork to match the property’s architecture. Our bricklayers contractors Canary Wharf area team can also blend new work into older brickwork found closer to Limehouse.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, load requirements and the condition of existing masonry. You’ll receive a clear written scope covering foundations, brick type, mortar colour, and finishing details such as copings and caps. Our work is built for longevity, with careful setting-out, solid footings and weather-appropriate mortar mixes. Clients choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy working practices and workmanship backed by a straightforward warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets often means tight access, controlled parking and booked loading bays, especially around Jubilee Park and the Docklands. We plan deliveries, waste removal and noise-sensitive tasks to suit building rules and neighbours. Riverside exposure can accelerate weathering, so we select suitable bricks, copings and mortar mixes for durability. If your site sits over podium decks or near basements, we assess load limits and specify appropriate build-ups.

Costs vary by access, foundations and finish. As a guide, small repairs and repointing often start from £250–£900. A straightforward garden or boundary wall is commonly £180–£320 per m², while retaining walls with drainage and reinforcement can be £300–£600+ per m². Pillars/piers, steps and planters are usually priced as a package after measuring and checking levels.
Minor repairs may take half a day to 2 days, depending on drying time and access. A typical garden wall or set of steps often takes 2–5 working days, while retaining walls, piers or multiple planters can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on foundations, curing time, delivery restrictions in E14 developments, and whether we’re matching existing brickwork or working around services.
Many garden walls, planters and repairs are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Height limits apply, especially next to highways, and listed buildings or conservation considerations can change the rules. Apartments and managed blocks may also require freeholder or management approval. We’ll flag likely permissions early, check practical requirements for Tower Hamlets, and can work with your architect or managing agent if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our bricklaying workmanship, covering defects caused by installation issues such as poor bonding, incorrect mortar use, or inadequate fixing of copings and caps. It does not cover accidental damage, movement from third-party structural issues, or lack of maintenance. We also use quality materials and proven build methods, and we’ll explain care advice to keep your brickwork looking its best.
Popular choices include London stock-style bricks for a softer traditional look, smooth engineering bricks for strength and crisp edges, and contrasting brick bands for a modern finish. We can add stone or concrete copings, recessed or flush joints, and integrate lighting or seating into planters. For BBQ areas, we specify heat-appropriate linings and practical worktop heights. We’ll help you choose options that suit your property and budget.
