Sydenham homeowners choose brickwork that looks right and performs for decades. Whether you need a new boundary wall near Sydenham Wells Park or repairs to an older garden wall in SE26, we deliver tidy, structurally sound results. Our team builds garden walls, retaining walls, pillars and planters that complement existing brick tones and pointing styles. Expect clear advice, neat workmanship and a finish that suits your outdoor space.
The Sydenham area has excellent period housing, from Victorian villas to Edwardian houses and well-kept conversions. These properties often need brickwork that matches original detailing, including coping stones, recessed joints and consistent coursing. We’re used to tight side access, shared boundaries and gardens that slope towards the rear. If you’re in Forest Hill, Lower Sydenham or near Bell Green, we’ll tailor the build to your plot and layout.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, foundations and drainage, then provide a written scope and itemised options. Our bricklayers set out carefully, manage waste responsibly and keep disruption low for neighbours and shared paths. Every job is quality-checked for plumb lines, joint finish and stability, with photos and maintenance guidance on request. Homeowners trust us because we communicate well, turn up when we say, and stand behind our work.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, Sydenham gardens often combine slopes, mature roots and older boundary lines. We allow for ground movement with proper footings, weep holes and drainage where needed. Parking and access can be limited around SE26, so we plan deliveries and mixing areas to keep paths clear. For homes near Sydenham Hill Wood and Dulwich Wood, we also take extra care around trees and existing landscaping.

Costs vary by wall height, access, foundations and brick choice. As a guide in Sydenham, small repairs and repointing often start from £250–£900, while new garden or boundary walls commonly range from £1,200–£6,000+. Retaining walls, piers, and steps can be £2,500–£12,000+ depending on engineering, drainage and finishes. We’ll survey and provide an itemised estimate.
Minor repairs or repointing can take 1–2 days, while a typical garden wall may take 3–7 days including foundations and curing time. Larger projects such as retaining walls, pillars/piers, or a full BBQ area often run 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, brick availability, ground conditions and whether old structures need demolition and disposal.
Many garden walls, planters and steps are permitted development, but rules can change if the wall fronts a highway, exceeds certain heights, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. Lewisham also has guidance around boundary treatments and visibility near junctions. We’ll flag likely permissions early, advise what’s needed, and can work from approved drawings where required.
Yes. Our brickwork is covered by a 10-year warranty for workmanship and structural integrity when built to our specification. This includes issues such as defective pointing, movement caused by inadequate construction, or instability linked to our foundations and setting-out. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme events, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also provide care advice to help your brickwork age well.
We can build in London stock, red multi, yellow stock, engineering brick, or reclaimed options to suit period homes. Popular finishes include bucket-handle or weather-struck pointing, soldier courses, coping stones, and brick-on-edge details. For features, we design pillars and piers, raised planters, steps with bullnose edges, and BBQ areas with heat-resistant linings. We’ll help you choose based on style, durability and budget.
