If you’re improving a garden near South Croydon station or along the greener edges by Croham Hurst Woods, well-built brickwork makes a visible difference. Our team constructs garden walls, boundary walls and retaining walls that look sharp and stay stable through the seasons. We also build pillars and piers for gates, plus brick planters to frame patios and lawns. Every job is set out accurately, with neat joints and a finish that suits CR2 homes.
South Croydon is known for large detached houses, 1930s semis and elegant Victorian villas, and each property style needs a slightly different approach. We match brick type, bond pattern and coping details so new work sits comfortably with existing features. For sloping plots common around Sanderstead and Purley, we design retaining walls and steps that feel natural to the garden layout. Where older brickwork is tired, our repairs and repointing restore strength without making the wall look patchy.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, access and what you want the space to do. You’ll receive clear options on materials and detailing, then we build on solid footings with careful setting-out and tidy workmanship. We protect surrounding paving, keep the site organised, and communicate timings so you can plan around the work. Homeowners choose us for consistent quality, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, gardens often include slopes, mature planting and tight side access, especially around CR2. We plan deliveries and parking to reduce disruption, and we’re used to working with restricted access to rear gardens. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess footing depth and drainage before building retaining walls or piers. Our brickwork is tailored to local property styles so it looks right from day one.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by wall height, footing depth, access and brick choice. As a guide, repairs and repointing often start from around £250–£900 for small sections. New garden or boundary walls commonly range from £120–£220 per m², while retaining walls can be £180–£350+ per m² depending on engineering and drainage. Pillars, steps and planters are usually priced as fixed sections after a site visit.
Small repairs can be completed in half a day to two days. A typical garden wall or set of planters often takes 2–5 days, while retaining walls, steps or multiple piers may take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on curing time for footings, weather, access to the rear garden, and whether we’re matching existing bricks. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but there are limits—particularly for walls next to highways, visibility splays, and some front boundary heights. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra rules may apply. We’ll discuss the location of the wall, heights and materials, and we can help you check the relevant London Borough of Croydon guidance before work begins.
Yes. Our brickwork is covered by a 10-year warranty for workmanship, including issues such as movement caused by poor construction, defective pointing, or failures linked to incorrect setting-out or inadequate footings (where we’ve designed and built them). It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or structural movement outside our control. We also give aftercare advice to keep joints and copings looking their best.
We can build with London stock-style bricks, modern wirecut bricks, reclaimed bricks for period homes, or engineering bricks for damp-prone areas. Popular finishes include soldier-course details, brick-on-edge copings, stone copings, and contrasting piers with caps. For BBQ areas and planters, we can incorporate heat-resistant linings and seating edges. We’ll bring samples and recommend options that suit your property and budget.
