If your garden needs structure, privacy or a smarter finish, our team can build it in brick. We design and construct garden walls, boundary walls, retaining walls, pillars and piers, plus practical features like planters and steps. Homeowners around CR0 often ask us to match existing brickwork for seamless results. We regularly work near Shirley Windmill and Shirley Park Golf Club, so local access and site set-up are familiar.
Shirley’s mix of 1930s semis, larger detached houses and newer developments calls for brickwork that looks right and performs well. We can rebuild tired walls, straighten leaning sections and improve drainage behind retaining walls to protect patios and lawns. For families near Trinity School and neighbouring Addiscombe, we also create safer, more defined entrances with piers, coping stones and neat step details. Every job is measured carefully to keep lines true and levels consistent.
We start with a site visit to check ground levels, existing foundations and any movement or cracking. You’ll receive a clear scope of works, material options and a realistic programme before we begin. Our bricklayers protect surrounding paving and planting, keep the site tidy, and finish with thorough pointing for weather resistance. Local homeowners choose us for dependable communication, workmanship you can inspect up close, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We understand the practicalities of working across the London Borough of Croydon, including typical access constraints on residential streets and the need for considerate deliveries and waste removal. Gardens in Shirley can have sloping sections, especially towards Addington Hills, so we plan retaining walls and steps with stable foundations and drainage. For 1930s semis, we often match brick size, colour and mortar tone to keep the frontage cohesive. We also factor in parking and neighbour boundaries from day one to avoid delays.

Costs vary by wall height, foundations, access and brick choice. As a guide, small repairs and repointing may start from £250–£900, while new garden or boundary walls often fall around £120–£220 per m². Retaining walls with drainage and reinforcement typically cost more, commonly £200–£350 per m². Pillars, steps and planters are usually priced as individual builds after a site survey.
Most small repairs or repointing jobs take 1–2 days, depending on how much loose mortar or damaged brick needs replacing. A straightforward garden wall may take 2–5 days, while retaining walls, steps or multiple piers can run 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on foundations, curing time, weather, access for materials, and whether we’re matching existing brickwork or working around services and drains.
Many garden walls, planters and repairs are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, location and whether the wall borders a highway. Front boundary walls often have stricter limits than rear garden walls, and listed buildings or conservation considerations may apply in some pockets. We’ll advise what’s likely to be permitted and can help you check Croydon Council guidance before work starts, so the build stays compliant.
Yes. Our brickwork is covered by a 10-year warranty for workmanship, giving you confidence that walls, piers, steps and built features are constructed correctly. The warranty covers issues caused by installation faults, such as defective pointing or poor build quality. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or problems caused by pre-existing ground movement outside our control. We also provide care advice to keep brickwork looking sharp.
We can build in a range of bricks to suit Shirley homes, including London stock-style, red multi, buff and contemporary smooth-facing options. Popular upgrades include coping stones, soldier courses, recessed panels, and contrasting brick bands. For steps and BBQ areas, we can incorporate paving slabs, engineering bricks and heat-resistant components where needed. We’ll help you choose colours, mortar tones and detailing that complement your property and garden layout.
