From smart front boundaries to practical garden structures, our brickwork team delivers long-lasting results across SW12. If you’re near Balham station or along Bedford Hill, we can match existing brickwork and improve kerb appeal without disrupting your routine. We build garden walls, retaining walls, steps, planters, pillars and outdoor cooking features with careful setting-out and neat pointing. Every job is finished with clean edges, stable foundations and a site left tidy.
Balham’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often need brickwork that respects the original character while improving usability. We regularly work in the Nightingale and Clapham South areas where gardens can be narrow, sloped or overlooked, so privacy walls and retaining solutions are popular. Older properties may also show weathered mortar joints, making repointing a cost-effective way to protect brickwork and keep it looking sharp. Our recommendations balance style, durability and maintenance for busy households.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, access and the condition of existing brickwork, then provide a clear written quote. Your project is built by experienced masons using quality bricks, blocks and mortar mixes suited to the job, with careful curing and weather protection. We keep neighbours in mind, control dust, and plan deliveries to minimise disruption. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, work cleanly, and stand behind our builds with a 10-year warranty.
As brickwork contractors Balham area homeowners rely on, we’re used to tight access, shared side returns and on-street parking near Balham High Road. We plan loading, waste removal and working hours to reduce inconvenience and keep the site safe. In the London Borough of Wandsworth, boundary walls, heights and materials can affect what’s allowed, so we’ll flag any constraints early. We also adapt foundations and drainage details where gardens slope towards Tooting Bec Common.

Costs vary with access, foundations and brick choice. As a guide in SW12, small repointing repairs often start around £300–£800, while full repointing of a typical garden wall may be £1,200–£3,000+. New garden walls commonly range from £250–£450 per m², and steps or brick planters are often £900–£3,500 depending on size and finishes. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most small builds, such as a planter, pillar pair or minor repointing, take 1–3 days. A new garden wall or retaining wall is typically 3–7 days, while more complex projects (steps with landings, BBQ areas or multiple features) can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on demolition, groundworks, curing time, weather, access for materials, and whether we’re matching existing brickwork and coping details.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, especially repairs, repointing, planters and low walls. However, rules can change for front boundary walls, higher structures, listed buildings, conservation areas, and properties with special conditions. In the London Borough of Wandsworth we’ll help you understand what’s likely to be needed and can suggest when to check with the council. If approvals are required, we can support with drawings and specifications.
Yes. Our brickwork comes with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship issues such as defective pointing, movement caused by improper construction, and failures linked to our installed foundations and bedding. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or problems caused by pre-existing structural defects outside the agreed scope. We also advise on aftercare, including cleaning and sealing options where appropriate, so your wall or feature stays looking its best.
We can build with London stock-style bricks, contemporary smooth-facing bricks, reclaimed blends, or brick-and-block structures with brick facings. Popular details include soldier courses, recessed panels, bullnose or engineering brick copings, and contrasting piers. For outdoor living, we create BBQ areas and fire pits with heat-resistant linings and practical worktops. We’ll bring samples, match your property’s existing brickwork, and design for proportions, drainage and long-term durability.
