If your garden needs structure, privacy or a smarter layout, our brickwork team can help. We build garden walls, retaining walls, brick pillars, steps and raised planters that suit Streatham Hill’s streets and sloping plots. We regularly work near Streatham Hill station and along Christchurch Road, keeping disruption low and access tidy. Every job is set out accurately so levels, lines and coping details look right from day one.
Homes around SW2 often feature Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, where brick choice and detailing matter. We match brick tones, mortar colour and joint profiles so new work sits naturally alongside existing façades and boundary walls. For rear gardens in Streatham, Tulse Hill and West Norwood, we design brickwork that improves flow and creates usable zones. Where older walls have weathered, our repointing restores strength without changing the character.
We start with a site survey, discuss loads, drainage and finishes, then provide a clear written specification. Foundations, wall ties, weep holes and falls are built in—not added as an afterthought—so walls and steps stay stable through London winters. Work areas are protected, waste is removed promptly, and we keep neighbours in mind with sensible working hours. Homeowners choose our brickwork contractors streatham hill area for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and consistent communication.
Streatham Hill gardens can be tight for access, with parking restrictions and narrow side returns, so we plan deliveries and mixing areas carefully. Sloping plots near Telford Park often need retaining walls and stepped levels, designed with proper drainage and robust footings. We’re familiar with the expectations for brickwork contractors in London Borough of Lambeth, including boundary heights and conservation considerations where relevant. Our approach suits both terrace gardens and larger mansion conversion plots.

Costs vary with access, foundations and brick choice. As a guide, repointing is often £45–£90 per m² depending on depth and finish. Small garden walls commonly start around £1,200–£2,500, while retaining walls with drainage and reinforced footings can be £250–£450 per linear metre. Brick steps and planters are usually priced as a set, often £900–£3,500+ depending on size and detailing.
Many small brickwork jobs take 2–5 days, such as a planter, a short wall or a set of steps. Larger boundary walls or BBQ areas typically run 1–2 weeks, while retaining walls can take longer due to excavation, drainage and curing time. Timescales depend on access through the property, weather, demolition needs and whether we’re matching reclaimed bricks. We’ll confirm a programme after the site survey.
Most garden brickwork—planters, steps, BBQ areas and many walls—can be permitted development, but rules change with wall height, proximity to highways, and whether your home is listed or in a conservation area. Retaining walls may also need extra checks if they affect neighbouring land or drainage. We review the layout, advise what’s likely required, and can help you confirm details with Lambeth before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement caused by poor installation, failed mortar joints due to incorrect mixing, and defects linked to our construction methods. It does not cover accidental damage, ground movement outside our control, or lack of maintenance (for example, blocked drainage behind retaining walls). We also use quality materials suited to outdoor exposure for long-term durability.
We can build in London stock bricks, reclaimed Victorian bricks, or contemporary wirecut bricks, with mortar colours chosen to blend or contrast. Popular finishes include bucket-handle or flush joints, soldier courses, bullnose coping, and brick-on-edge detailing for steps and planters. For outdoor living, we design brick BBQ areas and fire pit surrounds with heat-appropriate liners and safe clearances. We’ll recommend options that suit your property style and budget.
