Cheam homeowners expect brickwork that suits the area’s character and stands up to year-round weather. We build garden walls, retaining walls, brick pillars, steps and planters that look right alongside properties near Cheam Village and Nonsuch Park. Whether you’re defining boundaries, improving levels or creating a feature, we focus on clean detailing and long-term stability. Every job is finished neatly, with careful matching to existing brickwork where needed.
The Cheam area includes period cottages, classic 1930s houses and larger executive homes, each with different brick sizes, bonds and mortar colours. In SM2 and SM3 we’re often asked to rebuild tired boundary walls, add entrance pillars, or create raised planters to frame patios. We also carry out repointing to restore strength and appearance without changing the look of the original build. Our designs are practical for family gardens and tailored to your property’s style.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and existing structures, then provide a clear written quotation and schedule. Our team prepares proper footings, uses quality materials, and keeps the site tidy with considerate working hours. You’ll get straightforward advice on brick selection, mortar colour and coping options, plus progress updates as we build. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, precise workmanship and a finish that stays sharp.
Across the London Borough of Sutton, access and parking can vary between North Cheam streets and quieter roads near Worcester Park and Ewell. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working space to keep disruption low. Many gardens have changes in level, so we design retaining walls and steps with drainage and safe risers in mind. Where properties fall near conservation considerations, we help you choose sympathetic materials and finishes.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, repointing is often £40–£80 per m², while small garden walls commonly start from £900–£2,500. Retaining walls, steps and brick pillars typically range from £2,500–£8,000+ depending on foundations, height and drainage requirements. BBQ areas and fire pits can be £1,200–£5,000+ based on design and finishes. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most small projects, such as a planter, short wall section or repointing a small area, take 1–3 days. A new garden wall with foundations usually takes 3–7 days, while retaining walls, steps and larger builds can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on curing time, weather, access for materials, and whether we’re matching existing brickwork. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, such as low walls, steps, planters and patios. However, rules can change if you’re near a highway, increasing the height of a front boundary wall, or if your property is in or near a conservation area. Retaining walls may also need extra consideration for safety and drainage. We’ll flag any potential issues, advise on best practice, and help you check requirements with the London Borough of Sutton where needed.
Yes. Our brickwork is backed by a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as failing mortar joints, movement caused by incorrect construction, or poor finishing. It also covers defects related to the installation of foundations and structural integrity where specified. Natural ageing, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We also provide care guidance to help your walls, steps and features stay looking their best for years.
We can build in a wide range of bricks to suit Cheam’s period and 1930s homes, including London stock styles, red multi bricks and contemporary smooth facings. Popular options include soldier-course detailing, recessed panels, pier caps, and copings in brick-on-edge or stone. For BBQ areas and fire pits, we can incorporate heat-resistant linings and porcelain or stone worktops. We’ll bring samples, advise on mortar colour, and create a design that fits your garden and budget.
