If your garden needs structure, privacy or a smart new entrance, our brickwork team can help. We regularly work around BR1, including near Downham Fields and the routes towards Grove Park. Whether it’s a new garden wall, a set of brick steps, or repairs and repointing, we focus on strong foundations and a neat finish. Every build is planned to suit your layout, levels and access.
Downham’s established residential estate includes 1920s cottage homes, 1930s semis and post-war housing, each with its own brick sizes and styles. We take care to match existing brickwork where needed, especially for boundary walls, pillars and piers, and front garden features. For sloping plots, we design retaining walls that manage levels safely and look intentional. If you’re updating outdoor space near Catford or Bromley links, we’ll keep the brickwork consistent with the property’s character.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measurements and a written scope so you know exactly what’s included. We set out accurately, use quality materials, and keep work areas organised to minimise disruption. You’ll get practical guidance on drainage, coping choices and finishes, plus a schedule you can rely on. Homeowners choose our bricklayers contractors Downham area for workmanship that stays sharp year after year.
Working across the London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to tight side access, shared driveways and on-street parking considerations. Many Downham gardens have changes in level, so we plan retaining walls and steps with stable footings and sensible drainage. We also consider boundary lines, visibility at entrances, and how new walls relate to neighbouring properties. Our bricklayers contractors in London Borough of Lewisham adapt methods to suit each plot and street layout.

Costs vary by access, foundations, height and finish. As a guide, small repairs and repointing often start from £250–£750. A new garden or boundary wall commonly falls around £1,200–£4,500 depending on length, brick choice and coping. Retaining walls and stepped work can be £2,500–£8,000+ due to excavation and drainage. We provide a detailed written estimate after a site visit.
Minor repairs may take half a day to two days. A typical garden wall is often 2–5 working days, depending on length, weather and curing time. Retaining walls, steps, and complex features like pillars, piers or BBQ areas usually take 1–2 weeks, especially if excavation and drainage are required. Timings are affected by access, skip placement, material lead times and ground conditions.
Many garden walls, planters and repairs are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Front boundary walls beside a highway have height limits, and corner plots may need extra care for visibility. If your property is affected by specific restrictions, or you’re altering entrances, we’ll flag it early and advise what to check. We can help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Lewisham before work starts.
Yes. Our brickwork comes with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship-related issues such as defective mortar joints, movement caused by incorrect construction, and failures linked to improper installation. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or issues caused by third-party alterations or extreme events. We also document the build approach (foundations, drainage where relevant, and materials) so you have clear records for peace of mind.
We can build in London stock-style bricks, modern wirecut bricks, or reclaimed options to suit older homes. Popular finishes include soldier courses, brick-on-edge copings, stone copings, recessed or flush pointing, and contrasting piers with caps. For BBQ areas and planters, we can incorporate heat-resistant linings and practical worktop heights. We’ll recommend choices based on your home’s brickwork, budget and maintenance preferences.
