Expect tidy sites, careful protection of existing planting, and finishes that look at home in W8 and W14.
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is known for stucco townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, each with its own constraints and opportunities. We regularly match brick tones, mortar profiles and coping details to existing façades and boundary lines. For basement flats and communal gardens, we plan around restricted access, shared pathways and noise considerations. Our brickwork & masonry landscaping in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is tailored to the character of each property, not a one-size-fits-all template.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written scope, then produce a practical layout for walls, pillars, BBQ areas or fire pits. Every build is set out accurately, with proper foundations, drainage considerations and movement joints where needed. You’ll get transparent scheduling, respectful neighbours-first working practices, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose our brickwork & masonry landscaping Kensington area service because the finish is sharp, the structure is sound, and the experience is organised from day one.
Kensington sites often involve tight rear access, resident parking controls and strict waste handling, so we plan deliveries and removals carefully. Many gardens sit above basements or have lightwells, requiring sensible load management and non-invasive groundwork. We also consider local conservation sensitivities and boundary details typical around Holland Park and Earl’s Court. Our designs and method statements are adapted to how properties are actually built in W8 and W14.

Costs vary with access, foundations and finishes. As a guide, small brick planters or raised beds often start from £900–£2,500. Garden walls typically range from £180–£350 per m² depending on brick choice, coping and footings. Feature items like brick pillars, archways, BBQ areas or fire pits commonly fall between £2,500–£8,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most small builds (planters, a short wall section, or a simple fire pit) take 2–5 days. Medium projects such as multiple raised beds, longer boundary walls or a BBQ area generally take 1–2 weeks. Larger schemes with archways, stone features and extensive groundwork can take 2–4+ weeks. Timescales depend on curing time, access for materials, weather, and whether groundwork or drainage upgrades are required.
Many garden masonry works are permitted development, especially internal garden features like planters, raised beds, BBQ areas and fire pits. However, rules can change for front boundary walls, listed buildings, conservation areas, and works that affect party walls or highway visibility. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check RBKC guidance where needed. If permission or approvals are required, we’ll advise on the best route before work starts.
We include a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our brickwork and masonry structures, covering issues such as defective installation, unstable construction or mortar failure caused by poor workmanship. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or movement from external factors outside our control (for example, major subsidence or third-party excavations). We also use reputable materials and correct foundation depths to reduce risk. Any snagging is handled promptly and professionally.
Popular choices in Kensington include London stock or reclaimed-style bricks, flush or weather-struck pointing, and stone copings in Yorkstone or limestone. For a more contemporary look, we can use smooth engineering bricks, porcelain cladding to planters, or crisp rendered piers. Stone features can be built in natural sandstone or granite, and fire pits/BBQ areas can include heat-resistant linings and worktops. We’ll guide you on aesthetics, durability and maintenance to suit your garden.
