From boundary garden walls to brick steps and raised planters, our team delivers brickwork that looks right and performs for years. We regularly work around SE24, including near Brockwell Park and the routes leading to Herne Hill station. Whether you want a clean new retaining wall or careful repointing to refresh tired brickwork, we keep lines sharp and levels true. Every build is planned to complement your garden layout and existing materials.
Herne Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often need brickwork that matches original detailing and proportions. We’re used to tight side access, shared boundaries and gardens with changes in level—common across nearby Dulwich, Brixton and Tulse Hill. Our brickwork contractors Herne Hill area homeowners rely on can source sympathetic bricks, mortar tones and copings to blend old with new. The result is a finish that feels considered rather than bolted on.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, foundations and the condition of existing brickwork. You’ll receive clear options for materials and detailing, plus a straightforward schedule and tidy working practices. Our brickwork contractors in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark complete builds with proper footings, accurate setting-out and clean joints, then finish with a full handover. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we’re close by (around 15 minutes), responsive, and we stand behind our work.
Herne Hill gardens can have clay-heavy ground and sloping sections, especially near Brockwell Park, so we design foundations and retaining walls accordingly. Parking and access can be restricted on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where properties sit close to boundaries, we pay extra attention to line, height and neighbour considerations. We also adapt detailing to suit Victorian and Edwardian brickwork common across SE24.

Costs vary by access, foundations and brick choice. As a guide, repointing is often £45–£90 per m² depending on joint depth and finish. Small garden walls may start around £900–£2,000, while retaining walls with drainage and stronger footings can be £2,000–£6,000+. Brick steps, pillars, planters, BBQ areas and fire pits are usually priced after a site visit and design brief.
Most small projects (a planter, a few steps, minor repointing) take 1–3 days. A new garden wall or brick pillars commonly take 3–7 days, depending on length, curing time and access for materials. Retaining walls can take 1–2 weeks if excavation, drainage and reinforcement are required. Weather, ground conditions, matching bricks and any making-good to paving or turf can also affect timescales.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, but there are limits—particularly for walls facing a highway and for properties in conservation areas. If your home is a period conversion or sits near protected streetscapes, extra rules may apply. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and can help you check with the London Borough of Lambeth or Southwark. We also build to safe heights and good neighbour boundaries.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installation, covering workmanship issues such as structural movement caused by inadequate footings, poor bonding, or failed joints. It also covers defects linked to our construction methods on walls, steps, pillars and planters. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations or extreme events aren’t included. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before work begins.
We can match or complement existing brickwork using London stock-style bricks, reclaimed options, or contemporary smooth-faced bricks. For finishes, popular choices include bucket-handle joints, flush pointing for a cleaner look, and coping stones or brick-on-edge caps for durability. We also build integrated seating, BBQ areas and fire pits with heat-resistant linings where needed. We’ll guide you on colour, bond patterns and proportions to suit your home and garden.
