Upper Norwood gardens often need brickwork that looks right from the street and performs all year round. We build garden walls, boundary walls, retaining walls, pillars and piers, plus practical features such as steps, planters and BBQ areas. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or closer to Westow Park, we’ll match the style and scale of your outdoor space. Our team also handles repairs and repointing to restore tired brickwork without unnecessary rebuilds.
This historic hilltop area is known for its views and its Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions. We’re used to working with older brickwork, lime-friendly repointing where appropriate, and detailing that complements original features. Access can be tight on some streets around Crystal Palace and Norwood New Town, so we plan deliveries and site set-up carefully. If you need bricklayers contractors Upper Norwood area homeowners rely on for neat finishes, you’re in safe hands.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage routes and existing foundations, then provide a written scope and itemised estimate. Our bricklayers set out accurately, use quality materials, and keep the site tidy with clear end-of-day handovers. Every build is checked for alignment, stability and weatherproofing, with repairs blended to match existing brick tones where possible. Many clients choose us because we’re local, responsive, and back our workmanship with a straightforward guarantee.
Upper Norwood’s slopes and mixed ground conditions make correct foundations and drainage essential, especially for retaining walls and steps. We allow for level changes, manage runoff, and design brickwork that won’t suffer from frost damage or movement. Parking and access can be limited around SE19, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to keep neighbours happy. We also advise on boundary heights and visibility where council guidance applies, as bricklayers contractors in London Borough of Croydon should.

Costs vary with access, foundations and brick choice. As a guide, small repairs and repointing often start from £250–£900, while new garden or boundary walls commonly fall around £180–£320 per m². Steps, planters and piers are usually priced as a build package, often £800–£3,500+. Retaining walls can be higher due to excavation and drainage, typically £2,000–£8,000+.
Minor repairs or repointing can be completed in 1–2 days, depending on drying times and access. A new garden wall or set of steps typically takes 3–7 working days, while larger boundary or retaining walls may take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, drainage requirements, brick availability, and weather. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and setting-out.
Many garden walls, planters and BBQ areas are permitted development, but rules can change with wall height, proximity to a highway, and whether your home is listed or in a conservation area. In parts of Upper Norwood, period properties may have extra constraints. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and can help you check Croydon guidance before work starts, so you avoid enforcement issues later.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for new brickwork installations, including walls, piers, steps and built features, covering defects caused by installation errors.

We’ll bring samples, advise on colour matching, and design to suit your property’s period character.
