From smart garden walls to practical retaining walls, our team builds brickwork that suits Brockley’s period streets and green plots. We regularly work around SE4, including near Brockley Market and Hilly Fields, where outdoor space is used year-round. Whether you want new brick pillars at the entrance or a neat set of steps to level changes, we focus on clean lines and long-lasting construction. Every job is planned to look right from day one and weather well over time.
Brockley homeowners often need brickwork that complements Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, and mansion conversions. Matching brick tone, joint profile and coping details can make the difference between “new” and “naturally part of the property”. We’re also used to tighter side access and shared boundaries typical around Honor Oak and Crofton Park. If your existing walling is sound but tired, our repointing restores strength and appearance without unnecessary rebuilds.
We start with a site visit, levels check and clear written scope, then recommend the right foundations and drainage where needed. Work is carried out by experienced bricklayers with careful setting-out, tidy cutting and consistent mortar colour. Homeowners choose our brickwork contractors Brockley area because we communicate clearly, protect paving and planting, and keep the site safe and organised. All workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham we often find mixed ground and mature tree roots, so we assess footing depth and nearby structures before building. Brockley’s streets can mean limited parking and narrow access, so we plan deliveries and materials storage to minimise disruption. Many SE4 properties have original brickwork details, and we take care to match bricks, mortar colour and coping styles. Where levels drop, we incorporate drainage and weep holes to reduce water pressure behind walls.

Costs vary by access, foundations and the type of build. As a guide, small repointing repairs often start around £300–£900, while larger repointing sections can be £1,200–£3,000+. A straightforward garden wall may be £180–£300 per m², and retaining walls are usually higher due to footings and drainage, commonly £250–£450 per m². Steps, pillars and planters are typically priced as bespoke builds after a site survey.
Most small jobs such as a planter, a short wall section or minor repointing take 1–3 days. Medium projects like new steps, brick pillars or a longer boundary wall are often 3–7 days. Retaining walls, BBQ areas and fire pits can take 1–2 weeks depending on excavation, drainage, curing time and finishes. Timescales are affected by access, weather, brick availability and whether we’re matching existing materials.
Many garden walls, steps, planters and like-for-like repairs are permitted development, so planning permission often isn’t required. However, rules can change for taller front boundary walls, listed buildings, conservation areas, or where work affects shared boundaries and highways. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check Lewisham’s guidance before you commit. If approval is needed, we can provide drawings and specifications to support an application.
Yes. Our brickwork is covered by a 10-year workmanship warranty. This covers issues caused by installation, such as movement from inadequate fixing, poor mortar joints, or defects in construction that lead to cracking or instability under normal use. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or problems caused by pre-existing structural movement outside the scope of our work. We also use quality materials and correct curing practices to reduce future maintenance.
We can build with London stock-style bricks, reclaimed bricks for closer colour matching, or modern wirecut bricks for a sharper finish. Pointing options include flush, bucket-handle and weather-struck joints, chosen to suit your property and exposure. For features, popular choices include raised planters with coping stones, brick steps with contrasting edging, and integrated BBQ areas or fire pits with heat-resistant liners. We’ll bring samples and recommend combinations that complement your home and garden layout.
