From smart garden walls to practical retaining walls, our brickwork is designed to suit Elephant & Castle’s mix of modern developments and established streets. We regularly work near Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre and around Elephant Park, creating clean lines and strong foundations. Whether you need brick pillars for a new gate, tidy steps to a patio, or raised planters, we build with longevity in mind. Every job is finished with neat pointing and careful detailing.
Homeowners in SE1 and SE17 often need brickwork that complements both Victorian terraces and contemporary apartment blocks. In Kennington and Walworth, we match brick tones and mortar styles so new work sits naturally alongside existing features. For new-build courtyards and balconies at ground level, we focus on compact, high-impact builds like planters, BBQ areas and fire pits. We also carry out repointing to refresh tired joints and improve weather resistance.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear recommendations on structure, drainage and finishes. You’ll receive a written scope, sensible timelines and transparent options for bricks and mortar colour. Our bricklayers work cleanly, protect surrounding surfaces and keep access routes usable wherever possible. Local homeowners choose us for consistent craftsmanship, reliable communication and a finish that stays sharp year after year.
Elephant & Castle is a busy transport hub, so deliveries, parking and access need planning. We schedule materials to minimise disruption and use practical methods for tight side returns and shared entrances. Ground conditions and levels can vary between older terraces and newer developments, so we assess footing depth, drainage runs and retaining requirements before building. If your property is near Strata Tower or London South Bank University, we’ll factor in traffic and loading restrictions when organising the work.

Costs vary by access, foundations and finish. As a guide, repointing is often £45–£85 per m² depending on joint depth and brick condition. Small garden walls commonly start around £900–£2,500, while retaining walls with drainage and reinforcement can be £2,000–£6,000+. Steps, pillars, planters and features like BBQ areas are usually priced after a site visit and design choices.
Most small builds, such as a planter, a few steps or a short wall, take 1–3 days once materials are on site. Larger garden walls and retaining walls typically take 3–10 working days, depending on excavation, footing curing time and any drainage. Repointing time depends on the area and how much old mortar needs raking out. Access constraints in SE1/SE17 can also affect scheduling.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, such as low walls, steps, planters and repairs like repointing. However, rules can change for front boundaries, taller walls, listed buildings, conservation areas, or where a wall borders a highway. We’ll discuss your plans, check the likely requirements, and advise if you should confirm with Southwark Council before work starts. We can also build to approved drawings if needed.
Yes. Our brickwork is covered by a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the structural integrity of the build, including issues arising from installation errors. It covers items such as wall stability, mortar performance and general build quality, provided the structure hasn’t been altered or damaged by impact, ground movement beyond normal expectations, or poor drainage from external causes. We also recommend suitable aftercare to keep the finish looking its best.
We can build in London stock styles, modern wirecut bricks, or reclaimed bricks for period terraces, with mortar colour matched for a seamless look. Popular options include soldier-course or stretcher-course copings, brick-on-edge detailing, and contrasting banding for pillars. For BBQ areas and fire pits, we can specify heat-resistant linings and durable caps. We’ll guide you on proportions, finishes and maintenance so the design suits your property and budget.
