Soho homes and commercial conversions demand brickwork that looks sharp and performs well. Whether you’re near Soho Square or walking distance from Carnaby Street, we build garden walls, boundary walls and planters that complement the streetscape. We also create practical features such as steps, BBQ areas and retaining walls for split-level courtyards. Every job is set out accurately, finished neatly and left clean.
Our team is used to working around Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and mixed-use buildings typical of W1. Older brickwork often needs sympathetic repairs, with careful colour matching and lime-appropriate pointing where required. In compact courtyards and roof terraces, we design planters and low walls that maximise usable space without overloading edges. If you’re in Fitzrovia, Mayfair or Covent Garden, we’ll tailor the build to suit access and your building’s character.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, existing brick condition and access routes. You’ll receive a clear scope covering foundations, brick type, mortar choice and finish details, plus a realistic programme. Our bricklayers protect neighbouring surfaces, keep noise and dust controlled, and remove waste promptly. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Soho sites often involve restricted access, timed deliveries and limited parking, so we plan logistics before work begins. In the City of Westminster, we also consider party walls, shared boundaries and how new brickwork meets existing façades. Many properties have older bricks and varied mortar, so we test and match to avoid patchy repairs. Where courtyards sit over basements or vaults, we keep weights sensible and specify suitable foundations.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Soho vary with access, brick matching and structural requirements. As a guide, small repairs and repointing often start from £250–£900. New garden or boundary walls commonly range from £180–£350 per m², depending on brick choice, coping and foundations. Piers, pillars and steps are usually priced as a build, often £600–£2,500+. Retaining walls can be higher due to drainage and reinforcement.
Minor repairs or repointing can take half a day to two days, depending on how much needs raking out and curing time. A small garden wall or planter is typically 2–5 days, while steps, piers or a BBQ area may take 3–7 days. Larger boundary or retaining walls often run 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, drying conditions, material lead times and any groundwork surprises.
Many garden walls, planters and repairs fall under permitted development, but rules can change with wall height, highway-facing boundaries and whether the building is listed. Parts of the City of Westminster also have conservation considerations that affect materials and appearance. We’ll advise what’s likely required and can help you gather details for an application if needed. Where permission isn’t required, we still build to safe, compliant standards.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our bricklaying, covering issues such as defective installation, poor bonding, and mortar failure caused by workmanship. It applies to new walls, piers, planters, steps and similar builds, provided they haven’t been altered or damaged by external factors. We also use appropriate materials for the setting, including suitable mortar mixes and drainage details where relevant. Warranty terms are provided in writing.
We can build in London stock-style bricks, reclaimed bricks for period properties, or crisp modern facing bricks for contemporary conversions. Popular finishes include soldier-course detailing, recessed or flush pointing, and stone or brick-on-edge copings. For planters and retaining walls, we can add engineering bricks, waterproofing measures and discreet drainage outlets. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit your building, especially where existing brickwork needs careful matching.
