Camberwell homeowners want brickwork that complements the area’s Georgian and Victorian character while standing up to everyday use. We design and build garden walls, retaining walls, brick pillars, steps and raised planters with crisp detailing and durable construction. Whether you’re near Camberwell Green or commuting via Denmark Hill station, we’ll keep disruption low and the site organised. We also take on repointing to refresh tired joints and protect masonry from water ingress.
Across SE5 you’ll find Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments with shared courtyards and compact gardens. Our team is used to working with period brick sizes, lime-aware repairs where appropriate, and matching existing tones so new work doesn’t look out of place. For newer builds, we can introduce contemporary brick bonds, sharp soldier courses and clean coping solutions. If you’re on the borders of Peckham or Dulwich, we’ll tailor designs to privacy needs, levels and access constraints.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, and the condition of existing brickwork, then provide a clear written quote and schedule. Every build is set out carefully, with proper foundations, weep holes where needed, and neat joint finishes for a consistent look. We protect surrounding paving, keep pathways usable where possible, and leave the site clean at handover. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, turn up when we say we will, and back our work with a 10-year warranty.
We’re familiar with the London Borough of Southwark’s mix of conservation-minded streets and modern developments, so we plan brick choices and detailing accordingly. Many Camberwell plots have tight side access and limited on-street parking, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where gardens sit on slopes, we design retaining walls with proper drainage to reduce hydrostatic pressure. If you’re close to King’s College Hospital, we can time noisier work considerately.

Costs vary by access, foundations, brick type and whether you need excavation or drainage. As a guide in Camberwell, small repointing jobs often start from £350–£900, while garden walls commonly range £1,200–£4,500 depending on length and height. Retaining walls, steps and structural work typically sit around £2,500–£9,000+. We’ll survey your site in SE5 and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most small builds such as planters, pillars or a short wall take 1–3 days. Larger garden walls and step sets usually take 3–7 days, while retaining walls can take 1–2 weeks if excavation, drainage and curing time are required. Timescales depend on access in Camberwell streets, weather, brick lead times, and whether we’re tying into existing masonry or carrying out repointing first.
Many garden walls, planters and BBQ areas are permitted development, but limits can apply, especially for walls facing a highway, listed buildings, or properties in conservation areas. Retaining walls may also need extra consideration if they affect boundaries, drainage or neighbouring land. We’ll advise during the site visit and can help you check Southwark guidance before work starts, so your Camberwell project stays compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installation, covering workmanship issues such as defective joints, poor bonding, or failures linked to incorrect construction. It also includes problems caused by inadequate foundations or drainage where these form part of our scope. Natural ageing, accidental damage, and movement caused by external factors outside our control aren’t covered. You’ll receive care advice to keep walls and features looking their best.
We can match existing London stock bricks for Victorian terraces, or specify cleaner contemporary bricks for modern apartments. Popular options include stretcher or Flemish bond, contrasting brick-on-edge copings, and recessed or flush pointing depending on the look you want. For features, we build curved planters, brick steps with safe risers, and BBQ or fire pit surrounds with heat-appropriate detailing. We’ll bring samples and recommend finishes that suit your Camberwell property.
