Sevenoaks is known for large detached houses, period properties and executive homes, often with generous plots and mature boundaries. Around Knole House and the lanes towards Otford, we’re frequently matching brick types and mortar tones to existing façades and garden structures. Many gardens here include slopes or terraces, making retaining walls, raised planters and safe, even steps especially valuable. We design brickwork to look established, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, discuss drainage, and agree the right brick and mortar specification. You’ll receive a clear written scope, a realistic programme, and a tidy working approach with daily clean-downs. Our builds prioritise proper footings, accurate setting-out and neat pointing, so walls stay true and joints stay sound. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, reliable scheduling and a finish that adds long-term value.
Sevenoaks District properties often have long driveways, mature planting and limited side access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Clay-heavy ground is common locally, which influences footing depth and drainage detailing for retaining walls and planters. We also factor in parking constraints near Sevenoaks High Street and protect existing surfaces with boards and barriers. The result is brickwork that performs well and stays looking sharp.

Costs vary by design, access and ground conditions, but as a guide: repointing is often £40–£70 per m²; small garden walls commonly start around £1,200–£2,500; retaining walls are typically £250–£450 per m² due to footings and drainage. Brick steps and pillars usually fall between £900–£3,500 depending on size and detailing. We provide a detailed written quote after a site visit.
Most smaller jobs, such as a planter, a few steps or minor repointing, take 1–3 days. A new garden wall is typically 3–7 days, while retaining walls or multiple features can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation, curing time, weather, access for materials, and whether we’re matching existing brickwork. We’ll confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Wall height, proximity to highways, listed buildings, and conservation areas can change what’s allowed, and retaining walls may need extra consideration for safety and drainage. We’ll ask the right questions at survey stage and can help you check Sevenoaks District Council guidance where relevant. If approvals are needed, we’ll build to the required specification.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installation, covering workmanship issues such as joint failure, movement caused by inadequate construction, and defects in setting-out. It applies when the work has been used normally and hasn’t been altered by others. Materials are supplied to appropriate standards, and we follow best practice for footings, reinforcement (where required) and drainage. We’ll also advise on simple aftercare to keep the finish looking its best.
We can build in clay facing bricks, engineering bricks for strength, or reclaimed-style bricks for a softer, period look. Popular options include soldier-course coping, brick-on-edge details, recessed panels for pillars, and matching steps with bullnose or contrasting edging. For features, we create BBQ areas and fire pits with heat-resistant components and safe clearances. We’ll bring samples, help match existing brickwork, and guide you on the most durable choice for your garden.
