If you’re improving an outdoor space near Purley Cross or along Purley Way, well-built brickwork makes the difference between “done” and “finished”. Fine Landscaping designs and constructs garden walls, steps, brick pillars and raised planters that look right from day one and stay that way. We also build practical entertaining features such as BBQ areas and fire pits. Every job is measured carefully so lines, levels and mortar joints are consistent.
Purley’s mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes often calls for brickwork that matches existing detailing. We regularly replicate brick bonds, soldier courses and coping styles so new walls and piers sit comfortably with the property. For sloping plots towards Riddlesdown, retaining walls and terraced planters can add usable space without compromising safety. Homeowners in Purley Oaks and nearby streets also choose repointing to refresh ageing brickwork and keep it weather-tight.
We start with a site visit, listen to how you use the garden, then provide a clear written quote and schedule. Our team prepares solid footings, manages drainage where needed, and keeps the site tidy and secure throughout. You’ll get workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty, plus practical guidance on aftercare. Many clients choose us because we communicate clearly and deliver clean edges, neat joints and reliable timelines.
Across the brickwork contractors in London Borough of Croydon we see a mix of clay soils and sloping gardens near the North Downs, so we plan foundations and drainage accordingly. Access and parking can be tight on residential roads around CR8, so we schedule deliveries sensibly and keep materials stored safely. We also factor in boundary lines, neighbour considerations and any height limits for front walls. That local approach helps brickwork contractors Purley area projects run smoothly from start to finish.

Costs vary by size, access and brick choice. As a guide, repointing is often £40–£80 per m², while small garden walls commonly start around £900–£2,500. Larger retaining walls with drainage and engineered foundations can range from £3,000–£12,000+. Steps, pillars and planters are usually priced as a set build, typically £1,200–£6,000 depending on complexity and finishes.
Most small builds, such as a planter, pillar pair or a short wall, take 1–3 days. Steps, BBQ areas and medium garden walls usually need 3–7 days, allowing for foundations and curing time. Retaining walls can take 1–2 weeks depending on height, drainage requirements and access for materials. Weather, ground conditions and matching specialist bricks can also affect the programme.
Many garden walls, steps, planters and patios are permitted development, but there are limits—especially for front boundary walls, corner plots and properties on busier roads. If your home is listed, in a conservation area, or the wall height is close to the thresholds, rules can change. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and can help you check Croydon Council guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our brickwork installations, covering issues caused by defective installation such as movement from inadequate footings, poor bonding or mortar failure. It’s designed to give homeowners confidence that walls, steps and pillars are built correctly. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or problems caused by pre-existing structural movement outside the work area. We’ll also advise on maintenance to keep joints looking sharp.
We can build with reclaimed bricks for period character, modern wirecut bricks for crisp lines, or engineering bricks for damp-prone areas and retaining work. Popular finishes include brick-on-edge copings, stone copings, contrasting soldier courses, and recessed or flush pointing styles. For BBQ areas and fire pits, we specify heat-resistant liners and practical worktop details. We’ll show samples, match existing brickwork where possible, and tailor the design to your garden layout.
