If your garden needs structure, privacy or a smarter finish, our brickwork team can help. We build garden walls, retaining walls, steps and brick pillars across CR2, including around South Croydon station and Sanderstead. Every build is set out carefully for clean lines, safe levels and a premium look. You’ll get brickwork that complements the house and stands up to year-round weather.
South Croydon’s leafy streets include large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, each with different brick tones and detailing. We match new work to existing brickwork where needed, or create a deliberate contrast for modern garden designs. Whether you’re improving a sloping plot near Croham Hurst Woods or updating a family garden close to Lloyd Park, we tailor the build to the setting. Our brickwork contractors South Croydon area homeowners use us for practical upgrades that also add kerb appeal.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, access and the best footing depth for the structure. You’ll receive clear recommendations on brick choice, coping, pointing style and any steel reinforcement required for retaining walls. Our team works tidily, protects surrounding paving and planting, and keeps you updated on progress. With consistent standards and a written 10-year warranty, clients choose us for dependable results and a finish that looks right first time.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, we often find sloping gardens, clay-heavy ground and mature tree roots that affect footing design. In South Croydon, access can be tight on driveways and side passages, so we plan material deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary lines, shared walls and visibility from the street, especially for front garden walls and pillars. The result is brickwork that suits local property styles and performs in local conditions.

Costs vary by size, access and whether foundations or drainage are needed. As a guide, repointing is often £40–£80 per m², small garden walls commonly start around £900–£2,500, and retaining walls typically range £180–£350 per m² due to deeper footings and reinforcement. Brick steps and pillars can be £600–£2,000+ depending on detailing. We provide a site-specific written estimate.
Most small builds, such as a planter, a few steps or a short wall, take 1–3 days. Medium projects like longer boundary walls or multiple pillars often take 3–7 days. Retaining walls can take 1–2 weeks depending on excavation, drainage, curing time and access for removing spoil. Weather, ground conditions and bespoke brick matching can also affect timescales. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, but rules can apply to front boundary walls, walls next to highways, listed buildings and conservation areas. Height limits and visibility near driveways can also matter. For retaining walls, we’ll consider safety and whether building control input is sensible. We’ll flag any likely permissions early and can help you check Croydon Council guidance before work begins.
Yes. Our brickwork is covered by a 10-year warranty on workmanship for structural integrity and build quality, provided the structure is used as intended and not altered by others.

We can build with stock, multi or reclaimed-style bricks to suit Victorian villas and 1930s semis, or choose cleaner contemporary bricks for modern gardens.

Copings can be brick-on-edge, stone, or concrete, and we can add features like curved planters, seating edges, BBQ areas and fire pits. We’ll bring samples and advise on the most durable choice.
