From smart front boundaries to practical garden upgrades, our team builds brickwork that suits Orpington homes and gardens. We regularly work around BR5 and BR6, including projects near Orpington station and The Walnuts Shopping Centre. Whether you need a new garden wall, brick steps or raised planters, we focus on clean lines, strong foundations and a finish that complements your property.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, larger detached houses and modern estates calls for brickwork that matches existing materials and proportions. In areas such as Petts Wood and St Mary Cray, we often rebuild tired boundary walls, add brick pillars for gates, or create retaining walls to level sloping lawns. We can also refresh older masonry with careful repointing to restore strength and appearance without overdoing the joints.
We start with a site visit to check levels, access and drainage, then provide a clear written quotation and schedule. Every build is set out properly, with suitable footings, tidy mortar joints and safe working practices throughout. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, keep the site clean, and stand behind our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying brickwork installations.
Orpington sites often involve mixed ground and changes in level, so we plan footings and drainage carefully, especially for retaining walls. Many roads around the High Street and Priory Gardens have tighter access and parking controls, so we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and existing brick tones common to 1930s housing stock. If approvals are needed, we help you navigate London Borough of Bromley requirements.

Costs vary with access, foundations and brick choice. As a guide, repointing is often £40–£80 per m² depending on joint depth and prep. Small garden walls commonly start around £900–£2,500, while larger retaining walls can be £2,500–£8,000+ due to drainage and reinforcement. Brick steps or pillars are typically £600–£2,000 each. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Many small jobs, such as a pair of brick pillars or a short wall, take 1–3 days. Steps, planters or a modest BBQ area usually take 3–7 days. Retaining walls can take 1–3 weeks depending on length, excavation, drainage and curing time. Weather, access for materials, and whether we’re matching existing bricks or waiting on specialist items can also affect the programme.
Most garden brickwork such as planters, steps, BBQ areas and low walls is usually permitted development, but there are exceptions. Front boundary walls next to a highway, taller structures, listed buildings, and some conservation areas can trigger extra rules. Retaining walls may also need careful consideration if they affect drainage or neighbouring land. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and can help you check with the London Borough of Bromley before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying brickwork installations, covering workmanship issues such as movement caused by poor construction, defective mortar joints, or incorrect setting-out. It does not cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by external factors like tree root heave, flooding, or ground movement outside our control. We also give clear aftercare guidance to help your walls, steps and features stay looking sharp.
We can build with facing bricks to match your home, reclaimed-style bricks for character, or contrasting bricks for contemporary gardens. Popular options include soldier-course capping, brick-on-edge copings, recessed panels on pillars, and integrated lighting or seating around planters. For BBQ areas and fire pits, we specify heat-resistant linings where needed. We’ll bring samples, advise on joint colour and profile, and design to suit your space and budget in the brickwork contractors Orpington area.
