If your garden needs structure, privacy or a smarter finish, our brickwork team can help. We build garden walls, retaining walls, steps, planters, brick pillars and outdoor cooking areas designed to suit your home. Homeowners around Bexley High Street and near Hall Place choose brickwork that looks right for the setting and stands up to year-round weather. We also carry out repointing to restore tired, weathered brickwork.
Bexley has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer modern homes, and each style benefits from a different approach to brick choice, bond patterns and detailing. For period properties, we can match brick tones and mortar colour so new work blends in rather than shouting. For 1930s semis, we often create neat entrance steps, pillars and low boundary walls to sharpen kerb appeal. For modern homes, clean lines and contemporary brick slips or contrasting copings can look spot-on.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, access and the condition of existing brickwork. You’ll receive clear options on layout, materials and finishes, then we schedule the build to minimise disruption. Our bricklayers work cleanly, protect surrounding paving and planting, and leave the site tidy at the end of each day. All workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Bexley, gardens often sit on varying levels, so retaining walls and steps need careful setting-out and drainage. Access can be tight on residential streets in DA5, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to keep things smooth. We also consider how brick colours sit alongside neighbouring properties, especially around established areas like Bexleyheath and Crayford. Where older brickwork is present, we select mortar mixes that suit the age of the building and reduce future cracking.

Costs vary by access, groundwork, brick choice and the type of feature. As a guide, repointing often starts from around £35–£70 per m², while small garden walls may be £250–£450 per linear metre depending on height and foundations. Steps, planters and pillars are usually priced per build, commonly from £600–£2,500+. Retaining walls and BBQ/fire pit areas can be higher due to drainage and heat-rated materials.
Most small projects, such as a planter, short wall repair or repointing section, can take 1–3 days. A new garden wall, steps or pillars often takes 3–7 days, depending on foundations and curing time. Larger retaining walls or a full outdoor cooking area may take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on site access, weather, ground conditions, material lead times and whether we’re tying into existing structures.
Many garden walls, steps and features are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Front boundary walls above certain heights, work near highways, and homes in conservation areas can require permission. If your property is listed, rules are stricter. We’ll discuss your plans, check likely constraints in the London Borough of Bexley, and advise whether you should confirm with the council before work starts. We can also build to comply with approved drawings.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our brickwork, covering issues caused by installation, such as defective pointing, movement from poor setting-out, or failure due to incorrect construction methods. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, flooding, or problems caused by pre-existing unstable ground or structures we haven’t altered. We also use reputable materials and follow best practice for foundations, drainage and mortar selection to reduce the risk of future cracking or staining.
We can build with reclaimed-style bricks, London stocks, engineering bricks for strength, or contemporary smooth-face options. Popular details include soldier courses, contrasting copings, recessed panels on pillars, and brick-on-edge steps. For BBQ areas and fire pits, we specify heat-resistant linings where needed. We’ll help you choose brick colour, mortar tone and pointing style (flush, recessed or weather-struck) so the finished work suits your home and garden layout.
