If your garden needs structure or your frontage needs a refresh, our brickwork team can help with everything from garden walls and planters to repairs and repointing. We regularly work around BR2, including routes near Shortlands station and the residential streets leading towards Bromley. Whether it’s a new boundary wall, a set of brick steps, or a tidy pillar-and-gate entrance, we focus on straight lines, clean joints and durable foundations.
Shortlands has a strong mix of large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and well-kept 1930s properties, each with its own brick colours and detailing. We match brick types, mortar tone and joint profiles so new work sits comfortably alongside existing elevations. For homes near Ravensbourne or towards Beckenham, we’ll also consider sightlines from the street and how the brickwork complements paths, planting and fencing.
Our process is simple: site visit, measured specification, written quotation, then careful build with regular updates. We set out properly, use suitable footings, and keep work areas safe and organised—especially important on tighter driveways and shared access. Fine Landscaping is based just 20 minutes away, so you get responsive scheduling and reliable aftercare. All qualifying workmanship is backed by our 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
In the bricklayers contractors Shortlands area, access can be narrow and parking can be restricted near commuter routes by Shortlands station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground levels and garden terraces often call for well-designed retaining walls and steps, not quick fixes. We also account for neighbouring boundaries and sightlines common to Edwardian and 1930s plots. Where needed, we help you stay aligned with London Borough of Bromley requirements and good neighbour practice.

Timescales depend on curing time, groundworks, drainage, access for materials, and weather. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden walls, planters, steps and like-for-like repairs are permitted development, but rules can change depending on wall height, whether it fronts a highway, and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. In the London Borough of Bromley we’ll flag any likely constraints, advise on safe heights and boundary positions, and help you check requirements before work begins so there are no surprises.
Yes. Our brickwork is covered by a 10-year warranty on workmanship for qualifying projects. This covers issues arising from installation, such as defective joints or failures linked to how the wall or feature was built, provided it hasn’t been altered or damaged by impact, ground movement beyond reasonable control, or poor maintenance. We also use reputable materials and follow best-practice construction methods for longevity.
We can build with London stock-style bricks, red multi bricks, reclaimed bricks for period character, or engineering bricks for strength and damp resistance. Design options include straight or curved garden walls, brick-on-edge cappings, coping stones, recessed or flush joints, and integrated planters, steps or piers. We’ll help you choose a style that suits your house, complements paving and planting, and fits your budget and maintenance preferences.
