From smart boundary walls to robust retaining walls, our team delivers brickwork that looks right and performs for years. We regularly work around SE1 and SE17, including projects near Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre and Elephant Park. Whether you’re defining a front garden, upgrading a courtyard, or repairing tired brickwork, we focus on clean lines, neat pointing and proper foundations. Expect workmanship that suits both modern developments and period streets.
Elephant & Castle includes modern high-rises, Victorian terraces and new-build apartments, each with different detailing and access considerations. In Walworth and Kennington, we often match existing brick tones and mortar profiles to keep extensions and repairs consistent. For newer blocks, we create contemporary planters, steps and BBQ areas that sit comfortably with modern paving and lighting. This is specialist brickwork for real, lived-in London gardens—built for daily use, not just photos.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage and load requirements, then provide a clear written scope and itemised estimate. Our bricklayers set out accurately, use quality materials, and keep the site tidy with safe access routes for residents and neighbours. Every job is checked for alignment, stability and finish, and we communicate throughout so there are no surprises. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, consistent standards and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
As bricklayers contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we’re used to tight access, controlled parking and shared pathways around Newington and Borough. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess sub-base, falls and drainage before building retaining walls or steps. We also plan deliveries to minimise disruption near busy routes and transport links. The result is brickwork that fits the property style and stands up to heavy urban use.

Costs vary with access, brick choice, foundations and whether you need demolition or waste removal. As a guide, small repairs and repointing often start from £250–£800, while new garden or boundary walls commonly range from £1,200–£6,000+. Retaining walls, piers, steps or integrated planters can be £2,500–£12,000+ depending on height, drainage and finishes. We provide itemised estimates after a site visit.
Minor repairs or repointing are typically completed in 1–2 days. A new garden wall or set of steps usually takes 3–7 days, depending on length, foundations, curing time and access for materials. Larger retaining walls, pillars or multiple features (planters, BBQ areas and walls together) can take 1–3 weeks. Weather, drying times, hidden defects and restricted parking in SE1/SE17 can also affect scheduling.
Many garden walls, repairs and like-for-like rebuilds are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Height limits apply, and rules can be stricter on corner plots, near highways, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll advise on what’s likely to need approval and can help you check Southwark Council guidance before work starts. We also ensure the build is safe and compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our bricklaying projects, covering issues caused by installation defects such as poor bonding, unstable construction, or failing pointing when materials have been used correctly. Normal wear, accidental damage, movement from unrelated structural problems, and neglect (for example blocked drainage behind retaining walls) aren’t covered. We’ll explain care requirements and provide aftercare guidance to help your brickwork last.
We can build in London stock brick, engineering brick for strength, or contemporary smooth-face bricks to suit modern developments. Popular options include bullnose or twice-weathered copings, recessed or flush pointing, and matching brick-on-edge details for planters and steps. For BBQ areas, we can incorporate heat-resistant components and practical worktop zones. We’ll help you choose colours, textures and detailing that complement your property and paving.
