If your garden needs structure, privacy or a cleaner finish, our team can help with bespoke brickwork across SW16. We build garden walls, retaining walls, brick pillars, steps and raised planters that suit the look of your home. Many clients near Pollards Hill Recreation Ground ask for practical upgrades that also improve kerb appeal. We also create BBQ areas and fire pits designed for safe, comfortable entertaining.
Pollards Hill is a quiet residential area with excellent local amenities and green spaces, and the housing stock is varied. We regularly work on 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, matching brick tones and mortar styles so new work doesn’t jar. Whether you’re in Norbury, Mitcham or Streatham Vale, we can design brickwork that complements existing pathways, patios and boundary lines. Repointing is also popular where older joints have weathered and started to crumble.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, access and the condition of existing masonry. You’ll receive clear options on layout, brick choice, coping details and foundations, with a tidy, scheduled build from start to finish. Our bricklayers work to clean lines, consistent joints and proper falls to move water away from structures. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, protect surrounding gardens, and stand behind the workmanship.
As brickwork contractors in London Borough of Merton, we’re used to tight side access, shared paths and on-street parking near Pollards Hill Library and South Lodge Avenue. Ground levels can vary between gardens, so we set out carefully and specify the right foundation depth and drainage for retaining work. We also plan deliveries to minimise disruption and keep sites secure. The result is brickwork that fits local property styles and stands up to year-round weather.




Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with access, foundations and brick choice. As a guide, repointing is often £35–£70 per m² depending on joint depth and prep. Small garden walls commonly start around £900–£2,500, while retaining walls with drainage and deeper footings are typically £2,000–£6,000+. Steps, pillars, planters, BBQ areas and fire pits usually fall between £800 and £4,500 depending on size and finishes.
Most small builds, such as planters, a few steps or a fire pit, take 1–3 days. A standard garden wall is often 2–5 days, while larger retaining walls or multi-feature projects can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on demolition, spoil removal, access for materials, weather, curing time for concrete, and whether we’re matching bricks or integrating lighting, paving or drainage.
Many garden walls, steps, planters and BBQ areas are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Front boundary walls over certain heights, works near highways, listed buildings, flats/maisonettes with restrictions, and conservation considerations can change what’s allowed. We’ll discuss your layout, check likely constraints, and advise if you should confirm details with Merton Council before work starts, so you avoid delays or enforcement issues.
Yes. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our brickwork installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as failed joints, movement from inadequate footings, or poor drainage detailing where specified. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by pre-existing unstable ground or structures outside our scope. We also use quality materials and proven build methods to reduce cracking and weathering over time.
We can build in a range of bricks to suit Pollards Hill homes, including London stock-style, red multi, brindle and engineering bricks for strength. Design options include soldier courses, recessed panels, coping stones, brick-on-edge caps, and curved planters or walls. For features, we build brick BBQ surrounds, seating edges and fire pit enclosures with suitable heat-resistant components. We’ll help you choose finishes that match your property and budget.
