Fine Landscaping delivers premium brickwork across Downham, from garden walls and steps to brick pillars and raised planters. Whether you’re near Downham Fields or closer to Grove Park, we design brick features that look right for the street and perform year-round. Our team can also build BBQ areas and fire pits for practical, sociable gardens. We work across BR1 with careful site protection and tidy handovers.
Downham’s established residential estate includes 1920s cottage homes, 1930s semis and a mix of post-war housing, each with different brick tones and boundary styles. We match bricks and mortar to existing elevations, so new work doesn’t look bolted on. For sloping plots and level changes, retaining walls and stepped access are planned for safe gradients and proper drainage. If your original pointing is weathered, our repointing restores strength while keeping a period-appropriate finish.
We start with a site visit to check levels, access and what you want the space to do, then provide a clear written quotation. Every build is set out accurately, founded correctly and finished with consistent joints and clean edges. We keep disruption low with organised deliveries and daily tidy-ups, and you’ll have a single point of contact throughout. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, quality materials and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
As brickwork contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to tight side access, shared driveways and on-street parking near schools and leisure facilities such as Downham Health and Leisure Centre. Many gardens here have level changes, so we factor in retaining requirements and water run-off from the start. We also consider boundary heights, sightlines and neighbour interfaces to avoid disputes. Our approach suits the brick styles common across BR1 and nearby Catford and Bellingham.

Costs vary by size, access and brick choice. As a guide, small repairs or repointing often start from £250–£800, while steps or planters commonly fall between £900–£2,500. Garden walls are typically £180–£350 per m² depending on footing depth and coping details. Retaining walls and structural work can be £250–£500+ per m² due to reinforcement and drainage. We’ll survey and provide a detailed breakdown.
Minor repairs or repointing can take 1–2 days, while a set of brick steps or a couple of pillars usually takes 2–4 days. A new garden wall often needs 3–7 days depending on length, foundations and curing time. Retaining walls may take 1–2 weeks if drainage, reinforcement and multiple levels are involved. Weather, access for materials and matching bricks can affect the schedule.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, such as internal garden walls, steps, planters and BBQ areas. However, rules can apply to front boundary walls (especially height limits), listed buildings, conservation considerations and party wall matters near boundaries. We’ll discuss where the work sits, check likely constraints and advise if you should contact Lewisham Council or submit an application. If needed, we can help with drawings and specifications.
Yes. Our brickwork is covered by a 10-year workmanship warranty for defects caused by installation, such as failing joints, unstable sections due to poor construction, or issues linked to incorrect foundations. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or problems caused by third-party alterations or severe ground movement beyond reasonable control. We also use quality materials and proven build methods to reduce long-term maintenance.
We can build with facing bricks to match your home, reclaimed-style bricks for character, or contrasting brickwork to frame patios and planting. Popular choices include soldier-course detailing, recessed panels, pier caps, coping stones, and brick-on-edge edging. For fire pits and BBQ areas, we specify heat-appropriate linings and safe clearances. We’ll guide you on colours, bond patterns and finishes that suit Downham property styles and your budget.
