Blackheath’s Georgian streets and generous gardens deserve brickwork that looks right and lasts. Whether you need a new garden wall by Blackheath Common, a retaining wall for a sloping plot, or smart brick steps to a patio, we deliver precise workmanship. We also build brick pillars, raised planters, BBQ areas and fire pits for practical, year-round use. Every project is designed to complement the character of SE3 homes and gardens.
Homeowners in Blackheath often live in Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions, where detailing matters. We regularly match brick tones and mortar styles so new work sits comfortably alongside older façades and boundary walls. For properties around Blackheath Village and Lee, we plan levels, drainage and access carefully to protect existing paving and planting. If you’re renovating in Greenwich, Lewisham or Kidbrooke, we can coordinate brickwork with wider landscaping works for a seamless result.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and clear recommendations on structure, finishes and maintenance. We prepare stable footings, use quality materials, and keep joints consistent for a clean, premium look. You’ll get a written scope, realistic timescales and respectful, tidy working throughout. Local homeowners choose us for dependable communication, careful craftsmanship and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham means we plan around controlled parking, narrow access and shared boundaries. Blackheath plots can include changes in level, so we factor in drainage behind retaining walls and robust foundations. We also consider the look of surrounding brickwork, especially near The Paragon and older boundary lines. Where required, we help you navigate council expectations and keep the finish sympathetic to local architecture.

Costs vary with access, foundations and the type of build. As a guide in Blackheath, repointing is often £40–£80 per m², while small garden walls commonly start around £900–£2,500. Retaining walls and steps can range from £2,000–£8,000+ depending on height, drainage and finishes. Brick pillars, planters, BBQ areas and fire pits are usually priced after a site visit and design choices.
Many smaller jobs, such as a planter or a short wall, take 1–3 days. Brick steps, pillars or a medium boundary wall often take 3–7 days, allowing for footings and curing time. Retaining walls can take 1–2 weeks depending on height, drainage requirements and site access. Weather, brick availability, demolition and waste removal can also affect the schedule.
Most garden brickwork, such as planters, steps and low walls, is usually permitted development. However, rules can apply to front boundary walls, walls next to highways, listed buildings, conservation areas, and major changes to levels or drainage. Requirements can differ between Greenwich and Lewisham. We’ll flag likely permissions during the survey and can advise on drawings or information needed before you start.
Yes. Our brickwork comes with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as defective pointing, poor bonding or movement caused by incorrect construction. It assumes normal use and that the structure hasn’t been altered by others. Materials are covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable. We also provide care advice, including how to keep joints, caps and drainage performing well over time.
We can build in London stock bricks, reclaimed bricks for period matching, or modern facing bricks for a crisp contemporary look. Mortar can be colour-matched and finished flush, recessed or weather-struck depending on style and exposure. For walls and planters, we can add coping stones, brick-on-edge caps, or contrasting banding. We’ll help you choose options that suit your home, budget and maintenance preferences.
