If your garden needs structure, privacy or a smarter finish, our team delivers brickwork that looks right and performs for years. We build garden walls, boundary walls, retaining walls, pillars and piers, plus practical features such as steps, planters and BBQ areas. Homeowners around Keston Common and BR2 trust us for neat lines, solid footings and clean detailing. We also handle repairs and repointing to restore tired brickwork without unnecessary rebuilds.
Keston’s mix of period cottages, large detached houses and country homes calls for brickwork that suits the architecture, not a one-size approach. We regularly match existing brick tones and mortar styles so new walls blend naturally with older elevations. For properties near Keston Ponds or along quieter lanes towards Downe, we design walls and piers that add presence without overpowering the setting. Whether you want a formal entrance with pillars or a discreet boundary upgrade, we tailor the build to your home.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage and the best foundation approach, then provide a clear written specification. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy set-up and safe access maintained throughout. Every build is checked for plumb, level and consistent jointing, and we keep you updated at each stage. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
As bricklayers contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we plan for local access, parking and material deliveries, especially on narrower roads towards Hayes and Farnborough. Ground conditions and garden levels vary, so we assess footing depth and drainage before setting out retaining walls or steps. We also consider boundary lines, sightlines and neighbouring properties to avoid disputes. Where council guidance applies, we help you stay compliant without delaying the build.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with wall height, foundations, brick choice and access. As a guide, small repairs and repointing often start from £250–£800. New garden or boundary walls commonly range from £120–£220 per m², while retaining walls with drainage and engineering can be £200–£400+ per m². Pillars/piers and steps are usually priced per item after a site visit, depending on detailing and groundworks.
Minor repairs or repointing can take half a day to two days. A straightforward garden wall is often 2–5 days, while larger boundary runs may take 1–2 weeks depending on length and foundations. Steps, planters or BBQ areas typically take 2–6 days. Timescales are affected by curing time, weather, access for materials, demolition of old structures and any drainage or retaining requirements.
Many garden walls, planters, steps and BBQ areas fall under permitted development, so planning permission is often not required. However, rules can change if you’re building next to a highway, increasing wall height, working on a listed building, or if your property has restrictions. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Bromley before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installations, covering workmanship issues such as defective jointing, poor alignment, or failures caused by incorrect construction methods. It also covers problems linked to our specified foundations and drainage approach where included. Normal wear, accidental damage, or movement caused by external factors (for example, tree roots or third-party groundworks) isn’t covered. You’ll receive written confirmation of what’s included.
We can build in traditional red or London stock bricks, rustic multi blends, or modern smooth-faced bricks, with mortar colours chosen to match or contrast. Popular options include recessed or flush joints, brick-on-edge copings, stone coping, and decorative piers with caps. For BBQ areas, we can incorporate heat-resistant liners and worktops. We’ll guide you on proportions, finishes and maintenance so the design suits your home and garden.
