From smart garden walls to statement brick pillars, our team builds outdoor brickwork that complements Dulwich’s character. We regularly work across East Dulwich and Dulwich Village, with projects near Dulwich Park and the Dulwich Picture Gallery. Whether you need new steps, raised planters or careful repointing, we focus on clean lines, strong foundations and tidy sites. Every build is tailored to your layout and how you use the garden.
Dulwich properties often feature Georgian and Victorian brickwork, plus larger detached homes with generous plots. Matching existing brick tones, mortar colour and bond patterns is essential, especially on older boundaries and garden walls. We’re used to tight side access and shared boundaries common around SE21, SE22 and SE24. If you’re improving a rear terrace, side return or long garden, we design brickwork that looks original to the house.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and structural requirements, then provide a clear written quote and schedule. Our bricklayers set out accurately, build on proper footings, and finish with crisp pointing and neat edges. We protect paving and planting, keep disruption down, and leave the site clean at handover. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, high-end finishes and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
As brickwork contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan around local access, parking and waste removal so projects run smoothly. Dulwich gardens can have level changes, so we design retaining walls with proper drainage and weep vents where needed. Period boundary walls often require careful tying-in and sympathetic repointing to avoid patchy repairs. We also account for shared boundaries and party wall considerations before work begins.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, repointing is often £40–£80 per m² depending on mortar and condition. A small garden wall might start around £1,200–£2,500, while retaining walls commonly range £250–£450 per m² due to footings and drainage. Brick steps and pillars are usually priced as built items, often £900–£3,500+ depending on design and materials.
Most small brickwork jobs, such as planters, a short wall, or a BBQ area, take 2–5 days. Larger projects like retaining walls, multiple steps, or combined features can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on groundwork, curing time, access through the property, weather, and whether we’re matching reclaimed bricks. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey and set-out.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, such as low walls, steps, planters, BBQ areas and fire pits. However, rules can change for taller boundary walls, front garden alterations, listed buildings, and conservation areas around Dulwich. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check Southwark Council guidance before you commit. Where required, we can build to approved drawings and specifications.
Yes. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our brickwork, covering defects caused by installation, such as failing joints, movement from inadequate construction, or poor finishing. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage and ground conditions haven’t been altered after completion. We also give care guidance for sealing, cleaning and maintaining mortar joints over time.
We can match existing Dulwich brickwork using reclaimed stocks, London bricks, or premium facing bricks, with mortar tinted to suit. Popular options include soldier-course caps, stone or concrete coping, recessed or weather-struck pointing, and contrasting brick detailing for pillars. For BBQ areas and fire pits, we specify heat-resistant components where needed. We’ll show samples, advise on proportions, and design features that suit your garden and property style.
