Response within 24 hours
From boundary walls to bespoke BBQ areas, our brickwork is designed to improve how your garden looks and works. We regularly work around Mitcham Common and Figges Marsh, where gardens often need smart level changes and durable edges. Whether you want brick pillars for a new gate line or safe, even steps to a patio, we focus on clean lines and solid foundations. We also handle repointing to restore tired brickwork without changing the character of your home.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates means brickwork needs to suit the property, not fight it. We match brick types, mortar colour and joint profiles so new work blends naturally with existing walls and paving. For older homes, we’re careful with softer bricks and breathable mortars where appropriate. For newer builds, we can create sharper contemporary detailing, including raised planters and neat seating walls.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear recommendations on structure, drainage and finishes. Every wall, pillar and step is built with proper footings, alignment checks and tidy pointing for a premium result. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when we say we will, keep the site organised, and communicate clearly from start to finish. Our work is backed by a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Merton, access can be tight on side passages and parking can be controlled, especially near Mitcham Junction station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. In CR4 gardens we often find variable ground and older boundaries, which is why we prioritise correct footings and drainage behind retaining walls. We also consider neighbouring walls, shared boundaries and sight lines to keep everything compliant and practical. If needed, we’ll liaise with local requirements and keep disruption to a minimum.

Costs vary by access, foundations and brick choice. As a guide, repointing is often £40–£80 per m², while small garden walls commonly start from £900–£2,500. Retaining walls with drainage and deeper footings are typically £200–£350 per m². Brick steps and pillars are usually priced per build, often £600–£2,000+ depending on size and detailing. We provide a written, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Many smaller jobs, such as a planter, pillar pair or minor repointing, can be completed in 1–3 days. A new garden wall or set of steps often takes 3–7 days, while retaining walls and larger builds (BBQ areas, multiple planters and walls) may take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time, weather, access for materials, and whether we’re matching existing brickwork or working around services and drains.
Most garden brickwork is permitted development, but there are important exceptions. For example, walls next to a highway have height limits, and some properties may be affected by conservation considerations or previous planning conditions. Retaining walls can also require extra care if they alter levels significantly or affect drainage. We’ll advise what’s likely to apply in the London Borough of Merton and can help you check before work starts, so there are no surprises.
Yes. Our brickwork is covered by a 10-year warranty for workmanship, giving you confidence that walls, steps, pillars and built features are constructed correctly. The warranty covers issues caused by installation faults, such as unstable structures or failed joints, provided the work hasn’t been altered by others or damaged by impact, ground movement beyond reasonable expectations, or neglected drainage. We also give care guidance to help your brickwork stay sharp for years.
We can build in a wide range of bricks and finishes, including reclaimed-style bricks for period homes, engineering bricks for damp-prone areas, and smooth contemporary bricks for modern estates. Popular options include soldier-course caps, coping stones, recessed or flush joints, and contrasting brick bands for pillars and planters. For BBQ areas and fire pits, we specify heat-tolerant linings where required. We’ll bring samples, match existing brickwork, and recommend details that suit your garden layout and budget.
