If your outdoor space needs structure, privacy or a smarter entrance, our brickwork team can help. We build garden walls, boundary walls, retaining walls, pillars and BBQ areas across CR8, including Purley Cross and Purley Oaks. Every job is set out carefully for straight lines, consistent joints and a premium finish. Expect clean working practices and a result that looks right with your home.
Purley’s leafy setting at the foot of the North Downs brings a mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes. We match brick type, bond and mortar colour so new work sits comfortably alongside existing features. Whether you’re upgrading a front boundary, adding raised planters, or rebuilding steps to a patio, we tailor the detailing to suit the property. Homeowners in Kenley, Sanderstead and Coulsdon often ask for brickwork that’s robust but understated.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage, access and the condition of any existing brickwork. You’ll receive a clear written scope, material recommendations and a realistic programme, then we protect surfaces and keep the site tidy throughout. Our bricklayers focus on solid foundations, correct wall ties and neat pointing for long-term strength. Clients choose us because we turn up when we say we will and finish to a high standard.
As bricklayers contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to sloping plots and level changes around Riddlesdown and nearby roads. We plan retaining walls with proper drainage and weep vents where needed to reduce pressure behind the wall. Access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we schedule deliveries sensibly and keep materials stacked neatly. We also consider visibility and height rules for front boundaries near pavements.

Costs vary with wall height, foundations, access and brick choice. As a guide, small repairs and repointing often start from £250–£800, while new garden or boundary walls commonly range from £1,200–£4,500. Retaining walls, piers or stepped work can be £3,000–£9,000+ depending on engineering and drainage requirements. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in the Purley area.
Minor repairs or repointing can take half a day to two days. A typical garden wall or set of planters is often 2–5 working days, while retaining walls, pillars & piers, or multiple runs of boundary walling may take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on foundations, curing time, weather, access for materials, and whether demolition or waste removal is required. We’ll confirm a programme before starting.
Many garden walls, planters and BBQ areas are permitted development, but rules can apply to front boundary wall heights, visibility near highways, and properties in conservation areas. If you’re close to a pavement or road, limits on wall and fence height may be tighter. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and can help you check Croydon guidance before work begins, so you avoid delays or enforcement issues.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork workmanship, covering defects caused by installation issues such as poor bonding, inadequate fixing, or faulty pointing. The warranty supports structural integrity and finish where our specification has been followed. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, movement caused by external factors (for example, tree roots or extreme ground shifts), or normal weathering. We’ll explain care and maintenance to keep your brickwork looking sharp.
We can build in stock bricks, multi bricks, reclaimed-style blends, or engineering bricks for strength and damp resistance. Popular choices include soldier courses, contrasting copings, recessed or weather-struck pointing, and brick-on-edge details for planters. For steps, we can combine brickwork with stone treads or bullnose edging for grip and durability. We’ll bring samples, match existing brickwork where possible, and advise on what suits your home and budget.
