If your garden needs structure, privacy or a smarter finish, our brickwork team can help. We build garden walls, retaining walls, steps, brick pillars, planters, BBQ areas and fire pits designed to look right in Carshalton. Many clients ask us to match existing brickwork near Carshalton Ponds or create clean, modern lines for updated patios in Carshalton Beeches. Every build is set out carefully so levels, drainage and sightlines work from day one.
Carshalton’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and other period properties often calls for brickwork that blends in rather than stands out. We regularly match bond patterns, mortar colour and coping details so new walls and piers sit comfortably alongside older brickwork. In SM5 streets, access can be tight and gardens can be long and narrow, so we plan deliveries and working areas to keep disruption down. Whether it’s a front boundary wall or a raised planter, we design around your property’s proportions.
We start with a site visit to measure, check ground levels and discuss how you’ll use the space. You’ll receive a clear written scope, material options and a realistic programme, then we protect surrounding paving, lawns and planting before work begins. Our builds follow best practice for footings, ties, weep vents and drainage where needed, and we keep the site tidy throughout. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, turn up when we say we will, and finish brickwork to a crisp, consistent standard.
We know the brick styles and boundary details common across the London Borough of Sutton, including older properties around The Grove and Carshalton House. Ground conditions can vary between made-up garden areas and firmer subsoil, so we size footings to suit and manage levels carefully. Parking and access can be restricted on residential roads, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise inconvenience. Where walls sit near trees or slopes, we plan movement joints and drainage to reduce cracking risk.

Costs depend on size, access, foundations and brick matching. As a guide, small repairs or repointing often start from around £250–£800. New garden walls are commonly £120–£220 per m², while retaining walls can be £180–£350 per m² due to deeper footings and drainage. Steps, pillars, planters and BBQ areas vary widely, typically £600–£3,500+ depending on design and finishes.
Most small brickwork jobs take 1–3 days, such as a short wall section, a pair of pillars, or a simple set of steps. Medium projects like longer boundary walls, multiple planters or a BBQ area often take 3–7 days. Retaining walls can take 1–2 weeks if excavation, drainage and curing time are required. Timescales depend on access, weather, brick availability and whether we’re matching existing work.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. For example, front boundary walls next to a highway have height limits, and listed buildings or conservation considerations can apply in parts of Sutton. Retaining walls may need extra checks if they affect drainage or neighbouring land. We’ll advise what’s likely required and can help you confirm details with the London Borough of Sutton before work starts.
Yes. Our brickwork is covered by a 10-year warranty for workmanship, giving you peace of mind that the structure has been built correctly. This covers issues such as failure due to poor construction, inadequate fixing or incorrect detailing. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, movement caused by underlying ground issues outside the agreed scope, or neglect (for example, blocked drainage behind a retaining wall). We’ll explain care and maintenance at handover.
We can build in reclaimed-style bricks to suit Victorian and Edwardian homes, or choose crisp modern bricks for contemporary gardens. Popular options include soldier courses, decorative piers, brick-on-edge copings, stone copings, and contrasting engineering bricks for damp-prone areas. For features, we design raised planters, integrated seating, BBQ surrounds and fire pit enclosures with heat-resistant components where required. We’ll bring samples and recommend combinations that suit your house and patio materials.
