We also handle repairs and repointing to restore tired masonry without over-altering the character.

If access is tight, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess levels, drainage, and any movement or cracking. You’ll receive a clear specification covering foundations, wall thickness, coping details and finishes, plus a realistic programme. We protect paving and planting, keep the site orderly, and provide progress updates throughout. Local clients choose our bricklayers contractors kensington area because the work is built properly, finished neatly, and backed by a written 10-year warranty.
Kensington sites often involve basement lightwells, mature tree roots and tight side access, so we plan foundations and material handling carefully. Parking and loading can be restricted around Kensington Gardens and busy routes, so we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption. Many homes sit within conservation areas, where sympathetic materials and detailing matter. As bricklayers contractors in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we adapt designs and methods to suit local expectations and council considerations.

Costs vary with access, foundations and finishes. As a guide, small repairs and repointing might start from £250–£900, while a new garden or boundary wall commonly falls around £180–£350 per m² depending on brick choice, height and copings. Retaining walls and piers can be higher due to engineering and footings. We provide a site-specific quotation after measuring and checking ground conditions.
Minor repairs or repointing can often be completed in 1–2 days. A typical garden wall may take 2–5 days, while retaining walls, pillars & piers, or brick steps usually run 4–10 days depending on excavation, concrete curing time and detailing. Timescales are affected by access in W8/W14, waste removal, weather, and whether matching bricks need to be sourced.
Many garden walls, planters and BBQ areas are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Wall height limits apply, and rules can be stricter in conservation areas or for listed buildings, which are common locally. If the work affects a boundary, highway visibility, or a shared structure, extra approvals may be needed. We flag likely requirements early and can help you check RBKC guidance before work starts.
We provide a written 10-year warranty on our brickwork, covering workmanship-related issues such as defective mortar joints, poor bonding, or failures linked to incorrect construction. It’s designed to give peace of mind on walls, piers, steps and built features. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or problems caused by pre-existing movement outside the work area. We also advise on maintenance to keep masonry performing well.
We can build in London stock, red multi, yellow stock and selected reclaimed bricks to suit period properties, with mortar tones matched to existing joints. Popular options include soldier-course or brick-on-edge copings, stone copings, recessed planters, and integrated seating. For steps, we can include brick risers with stone or porcelain treads. We’ll guide you on proportions, drainage details and finishes so the result fits your garden and home.
