We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you’ll use the space. You’ll receive a clear written scope covering foundations, drainage considerations and finishes, plus a realistic programme. Our team keeps access routes protected and the site tidy, which is vital on tight SE11 plots. Work is backed by a 10-year warranty, and local homeowners trust us for consistent workmanship and straightforward communication.
Oval streets can mean narrow access, controlled parking and limited storage, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many gardens sit behind terraces with existing party walls, so we take extra care around boundaries and neighbouring structures. Ground conditions vary, and retaining walls or steps may need deeper footings and drainage to prevent movement. As brickwork contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, we also factor in local guidance for boundary heights and front garden visibility.

Costs depend on access, foundations and the level of detailing. As a guide, repointing is often £45–£90 per m², while small garden walls commonly start around £900–£2,500. Retaining walls with drainage and reinforced footings are usually £2,500–£8,000+. Brick steps, planters or pillars typically fall between £650–£3,500 depending on size and finishes.
Most small features such as planters, a short wall or a simple step set take 1–3 days. Medium jobs—longer boundary walls, multiple planters, or a BBQ area—often take 4–10 working days. Retaining walls can take 1–3 weeks due to excavation, drainage, curing time and safe backfilling. Timescales also change with access, weather, and whether we’re matching reclaimed bricks.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, especially repairs, repointing and like-for-like rebuilding. However, new front boundary walls, taller walls, or work affecting visibility near highways can trigger rules, and listed buildings or conservation considerations may apply around period streets. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check Lambeth requirements before work starts, so you avoid delays or enforcement issues.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installation, covering workmanship issues such as structural failure caused by incorrect construction, defective mortar joints, or poor setting-out. It also covers problems arising from inadequate foundations where we’ve specified and built them. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, movement caused by external factors (such as major ground works nearby), or normal weathering. You’ll also receive care guidance to keep finishes looking sharp.
We can build with London stock-style bricks, engineering bricks for damp-prone areas, or reclaimed bricks for a closer match to Georgian and Victorian terraces. Mortar options include lime-rich mixes for older walls, plus colour-matched sands for a seamless finish. Design choices range from straight or curved walls to piers, copings, recessed panels, and integrated lighting or seating. We’ll bring samples and advise on durability, maintenance and how the brickwork will sit with your paving and planting.
