Chelsea gardens demand brickwork that looks sharp up close and stays solid for years. Whether you’re near King’s Road or walking distance from the Saatchi Gallery, we create walls, steps and features that suit the architecture and scale of your home. Our team handles everything from new brick pillars to discreet repointing. Expect tidy workmanship and a finish that complements planting and paving.
We regularly work across SW3 and SW10, where Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments often come with compact courtyards, raised terraces and basement lightwells. These spaces benefit from well-proportioned retaining walls, neat brick planters and safe, even steps. Matching existing brick tones and mortar colour is crucial on period façades and boundary lines. Our brickwork contractors Chelsea area clients rely on us to keep new work visually consistent with the original fabric.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage routes and access, then provide a clear specification for materials, bonds and copings. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with protection to paving and planting and daily clean-downs. Every build is set out carefully, with alignment and falls checked as we go. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, a premium finish, and a 10-year warranty on qualifying brickwork installations.
Chelsea sites often involve restricted access, timed deliveries and resident parking controls, so we plan logistics before materials arrive. In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, conservation considerations can affect boundary walls and street-facing changes, especially around period properties. We adapt foundations and drainage details to suit made ground and basement conversions common locally. Our brickwork contractors in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea also coordinate respectfully with neighbours and building management where required.

Costs vary with access, brick matching and structural requirements. As a guide, repointing is often £45–£90 per m² depending on joint depth and finish. Small garden walls commonly start around £1,200–£3,000, while retaining walls and steps are typically £2,500–£8,000+ due to foundations and drainage. Brick pillars, planters, BBQ areas and fire pits usually fall between £900 and £4,500 depending on size and detailing.
Most small features such as a planter, pillar pair or a simple step set take 1–3 days. A typical garden wall is often 3–7 days, while retaining walls can take 1–2 weeks once excavation, drainage and curing time are included. Repointing time depends on access and how much brickwork needs raking out. Weather, deliveries, restricted access and matching specialist bricks can all extend timelines.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, particularly repairs, repointing, planters and low walls within your boundary. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, and walls or railings facing the highway. Height limits and boundary treatments may also apply. We’ll flag likely constraints at survey stage and can work with your architect or submit drawings to help you confirm requirements with the council before construction begins.
