From smart front boundary walls to practical retaining walls, we deliver brickwork that improves security, privacy and kerb appeal. We regularly work around SE5, including routes near Denmark Hill station and King’s College Hospital, where access and timing matter. Whether you’re upgrading a tired garden wall or adding new steps and planters, we match the style of your home and the surrounding streetscape. Every job is finished neatly, with clean lines and well-formed joints.
Denmark Hill’s Victorian terraces and Georgian houses often need sympathetic repairs, especially to older brickwork and mortar. We also carry out upgrades for purpose-built flats where communal boundaries, bin stores or shared gardens need robust detailing. Our team is experienced with common local issues such as weathered coping stones, leaning piers and patchy repointing. If you’re in Camberwell or near Ruskin Park, we can recommend brick and joint profiles that sit comfortably with the area’s character.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, and the condition of existing foundations before recommending the right build-up. You’ll receive a written scope, material options and a realistic programme, then we protect paving, lawns and planting during the works. Our bricklayers focus on solid footings, consistent bonding and tidy pointing, with repairs blended to look original. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, punctual crews and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Southwark means planning for tighter access, controlled parking and busy roads near Denmark Hill station. We schedule deliveries to minimise disruption and keep walkways safe, especially on terraced streets. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess bearing and drainage before setting out foundations for boundary or retaining walls. Our detailing suits local Victorian brick tones and common joint styles found across SE5.

Costs vary with wall length, height, foundations and brick choice. As a guide, repointing and small repairs may start around £250–£900, while new garden or boundary walls often range from £1,200–£4,500. Retaining walls, steps, piers and reinforced foundations can take projects to £3,500–£9,000+. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit in the Denmark Hill area.
Minor repairs or repointing can often be completed in 1–2 days, depending on access and drying conditions. A typical boundary wall or set of steps usually takes 3–7 working days, including foundations and curing time. Larger retaining walls, pillars or BBQ areas may take 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, brick availability, weather and whether demolition or waste removal is required.
Many garden walls and brick features are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Front boundary walls next to a highway have height limits, and conservation areas or listed buildings can require consent. If your property is a flat with shared land, you may also need freeholder approval. We’ll flag likely requirements, check constraints, and help you prepare drawings or details if Southwark council input is needed.
Yes. Our brickwork comes with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as failed pointing, movement caused by poor construction, or defects in installation. It applies when the work is used and maintained normally and excludes damage from external factors like vehicle impact, flooding, or later structural changes by others. We also provide care guidance to help new walls and mortar cure properly.
We can build with London stock-style bricks, reclaimed bricks for period matching, or contemporary wirecut bricks for a sharper look. Popular options include soldier-course copings, brick-on-edge details, recessed planters, curved walls, and matching pillars & piers with caps. For BBQ areas we can include heat-resistant linings and tidy storage niches. We’ll advise on bond patterns, joint profiles and colours to suit your Denmark Hill property.
