Bermondsey’s mix of riverside living and character streets calls for brickwork that looks sharp and lasts. We design and build garden walls, retaining walls, brick pillars, steps and raised planters that complement properties around Bermondsey Street and London Bridge. Whether you want a practical boundary or a statement feature, we focus on crisp joints, level courses and durable foundations. We also create outdoor BBQ areas and fire pits for entertaining without compromising safety.
Local homes range from Victorian terraces to converted warehouses and modern apartments, each with different constraints and finishes. For terraces, we can match existing brick tones and mortar profiles to keep the look consistent. For warehouse conversions, we often specify robust, industrial-leaning brick choices and clean detailing. In newer developments near Surrey Quays and SE16, we build contemporary planters, steps and low walls that suit modern landscaping schemes.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear scope, then we confirm levels, drainage and access before work begins. We protect surrounding paving and planting, keep the site tidy, and communicate progress daily. Every build is completed to a high standard with a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful finishing and brickwork that stays true over time.
As brickwork contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan around tight access, controlled parking and shared pathways common in SE1 and SE16. Bermondsey gardens can include mixed ground conditions and existing hard landscaping, so we assess footing depth and drainage before building. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and party wall implications where relevant. The result is brickwork that fits the property style and performs well year-round.

Costs vary by access, brick choice, foundation depth and whether demolition or waste removal is needed. As a guide, repointing often starts from around £40–£80 per m², while small garden walls may range from £900–£2,500 depending on height and length. Retaining walls, steps, pillars or built-in planters typically fall between £1,500–£6,000+. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit.
Many small projects, such as a planter or a short wall, take 1–3 days. Steps, pillars and larger walls commonly take 3–7 days, while retaining walls or combined builds can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation, curing time, site access in Bermondsey, and whether we’re matching existing brickwork. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Most garden brickwork—planters, steps, low walls, repointing and patios—can be done under permitted development. However, rules can change for front boundary walls over certain heights, listed buildings, conservation considerations, or where works affect a shared boundary. We’ll ask the right questions, check what applies for your Bermondsey property, and advise if you need permission or a party wall agreement before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installation, covering workmanship and structural integrity for the elements we build, such as walls, steps, pillars and planters. It’s designed to give homeowners confidence that the work will remain stable and well-finished. The warranty doesn’t cover damage caused by third parties, impact, or issues arising from pre-existing movement outside the built area. We’ll explain coverage clearly in writing.
We can match existing bricks on Victorian terraces or specify contemporary bricks for modern apartments and warehouse conversions. Popular options include reclaimed-style London stock, smooth engineering bricks for durability, and contrasting copings for a crisp finish. For features, we build curved planters, brick seating edges, BBQ surrounds and safe fire pit zones. We’ll bring samples, discuss colours and mortar tones, and design to suit your space and maintenance preferences.
