Dulwich homes deserve brickwork that looks right and performs for decades. We build and repair garden walls, boundary walls, retaining walls, pillars and piers, plus practical features such as steps, planters and brick BBQ areas. Whether you’re near Dulwich Park or around East Dulwich, our team delivers clean lines, neat pointing and strong foundations. We also handle repairs and repointing to restore tired brickwork without changing the look.
The brickwork around Dulwich Village and West Dulwich often needs a sensitive approach, especially on Georgian and Victorian houses where details matter. We regularly work on large detached properties and period terraces, matching brick type, bond patterns and mortar colour to existing elevations. If your garden levels drop away, we design retaining walls and raised planters that manage load and drainage properly. For SE21, SE22 and SE24 properties, we plan access and materials handling to keep disruption low.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a written scope, then confirm brick choices, pointing style and finishes before work begins. Our bricklayers protect paving and planting, keep the site organised, and leave edges and joints sharp. Every build is checked for plumb, level and stability, with appropriate footings and drainage where required. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, straightforward timelines and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As bricklayers contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we’re used to tight access, controlled parking and protecting neighbouring boundaries. Dulwich gardens can have level changes, so we account for load, weep holes and drainage behind retaining walls. We also adapt to conservation-minded streetscapes near Dulwich Picture Gallery and older brickwork around Dulwich College. Our approach keeps new work sympathetic while meeting modern durability standards.

Costs vary with wall height, foundations, access and brick matching. As a guide, small repairs and repointing often start from £250–£900, while new garden or boundary walls commonly range £1,500–£6,000. Retaining walls, steps, piers or complex builds with drainage and engineering details can be £3,500–£12,000+. We provide a site-specific quote after assessing levels, ground and finish requirements.
Minor repairs or repointing can take 1–2 days, depending on the affected area and drying conditions. A straightforward garden wall is often 2–5 days, while walls with piers, steps or planters typically take 4–10 days. Retaining walls may take 1–2 weeks due to excavation, footings, drainage and curing time. Access, weather, brick availability and waste removal arrangements can all affect the programme.
Many garden walls, planters and repair works are permitted development, but rules can change with wall height, location next to a highway, and whether your property is listed or in a conservation area. In Southwark, extra considerations sometimes apply around heritage streetscapes. We’ll discuss your design, check likely constraints and advise if a planning application or party wall process may be needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installation, covering workmanship issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect construction, failing joints and defects linked to our build methods. It applies to new walls, piers, steps and similar masonry features we construct. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by external factors (for example tree roots or drainage failures outside our scope) aren’t covered. Warranty details are confirmed in writing.
We can build in London stock-style bricks, reclaimed bricks for period matching, or high-quality facing bricks for a cleaner contemporary look. Popular options include soldier-course cappings, brick-on-edge copings, recessed or flush pointing, and integrated piers for gates and lighting. For steps and BBQ areas, we can add stone treads or heat-resistant linings where needed. We’ll bring samples and recommend choices that suit your home and garden layout.
