If your outdoor space needs structure, privacy or a smarter finish, our brickwork team can help. We build garden walls, boundary walls, retaining walls, pillars and piers, plus brick BBQ areas, planters and steps. We regularly work around Lordship Lane and near Dulwich Park, keeping disruption low and access safe. Repairs and repointing are available too, ideal for tired joints and weathered brick faces.
East Dulwich has a strong mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, and the brickwork needs to match their character. We source bricks and mortar tones that sit comfortably alongside older London stock and existing garden features. Whether you’re in SE22 near Peckham Rye or closer to Dulwich Village, we design details like coping stones, soldier courses and piers to look intentional. The result is brickwork that feels original, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, soil pressure and boundaries, then provide a written, itemised quote. Our team protects paving and planting, sets out accurately, and keeps the site tidy throughout. Every wall is built for stability with the right foundations, movement joints where required, and clean pointing for weather resistance. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, clear communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working across the London Borough of Southwark, we’re used to tight side access, shared boundaries and controlled parking around SE22. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption on residential streets near Nunhead and Herne Hill. Local ground conditions can vary, so we size foundations and retaining solutions to suit the load and soil. Where walls face public areas, we also consider height, stability and sightlines from the outset.

Costs vary with access, wall height, foundations and brick choice. As a guide, small repairs and repointing often start from £250–£900. New garden or boundary walls commonly range from £1,200–£6,000 depending on length, piers and copings. Retaining walls and steps are usually £2,500–£12,000+ due to excavation and drainage. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit in SE22.
Most repairs and repointing jobs take 1–2 days, depending on the affected area and drying conditions. A typical garden wall or set of steps is often 3–7 working days, while larger boundary walls, piers or retaining walls can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time, weather, access through the property, and whether we’re matching reclaimed bricks or specialist copings.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Height limits can apply, especially for walls next to highways or where visibility is affected, and some homes may have restrictions due to conservation considerations. We’ll discuss your layout, boundary position and intended height, then advise if a planning check is sensible. If needed, we can help you prepare details for Southwark’s requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our bricklaying workmanship, covering issues such as structural failure caused by installation faults, poor bonding, or defective pointing. It also includes problems arising from inadequate foundations where we’ve specified and built them. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or movement caused by external factors like tree roots or third-party groundworks. We’ll explain care and maintenance to keep your brickwork looking sharp.
We can build in reclaimed London stock, new facing bricks, or engineering bricks for higher strength and damp resistance. Popular finishes include bucket-handle or flush pointing, stone or concrete copings, and brick-on-edge details for planters and steps. For BBQ areas, we can incorporate heat-resistant linings and practical worktop heights. We’ll bring samples, match existing brickwork where possible, and help you choose a design that suits your home and garden.
