Clapham homeowners use their outdoor space hard, whether it’s near Clapham Common or around Clapham Old Town. Our brickwork adds structure and privacy with garden walls, boundary walls and smart pillars that frame gates and paths. We also build practical features such as raised planters and BBQ areas for entertaining. Every job is set out accurately so lines stay true and finishes look sharp.
The brickwork in SW4 and SW11 ranges from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to modern apartments with compact courtyards. We match brick type, mortar colour and bond patterns so new work sits comfortably alongside existing masonry. Where access is tight (side returns, basement steps, shared passages), we plan deliveries and mixing to keep disruption low. If you’re updating a tired wall, our repairs and repointing restore strength without unnecessary rebuilds.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear written scope, then confirm levels, drainage considerations and foundations before laying a single brick. You’ll get straightforward advice on what’s worth repairing versus rebuilding, plus options for caps, copings and detailing. Our team works neatly, protects planting and paving, and keeps neighbours in mind. All workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, which is why clients recommend our bricklayers contractors Clapham area.
Working across the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth means dealing with busy streets, controlled parking zones and narrow access around terraces. We schedule deliveries sensibly and keep materials secure and tidy. Local gardens often need retaining solutions where levels change, so we design for stability and drainage. If your property sits near Clapham Junction station routes, we also plan around peak-time access to minimise disruption.

Costs vary with access, height, foundations and brick choice. As a guide in Clapham, small repairs and repointing often start around £250–£900. A new garden or boundary wall typically ranges from £1,200–£4,500 depending on length, footing depth and copings. Retaining walls, piers or steps can be £2,500–£8,000+ where engineering, drainage and finishes are more involved.
Minor repairs or repointing can take 1–2 days, while a typical garden wall is often 2–5 days. Steps, piers and planters usually fall within 3–7 days depending on setting-out and detailing. Retaining walls can take 1–2+ weeks where deeper foundations, drainage and curing time are required. Timescales also depend on access in SW4/SW11, weather, and brick lead times.
Many garden walls, planters and BBQ areas are permitted development, but rules can change with height, location near a highway, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Lambeth and Wandsworth also have specific guidance that can affect front boundary walls and railings. We’ll flag likely planning issues early, check constraints, and recommend the right route before work begins so you stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our bricklaying, covering issues caused by installation such as defective pointing, poor bonding, or movement linked to inadequate construction methods. Materials are supplied to appropriate standards and installed to manufacturer guidance. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or structural movement caused by external factors such as tree roots or drainage failures, but we’ll always advise on prevention.
Common choices include London stock bricks for period homes, reclaimed bricks for character, and engineering bricks for retaining walls and damp-prone areas. For finishes, many clients choose soldier-course caps, stone copings, or brick-on-edge detailing, plus recessed or flush pointing to suit the façade. We can also incorporate piers, lighting conduits, and matching steps. We’ll bring samples and help you select options that suit your property and budget.
