From boundary garden walls to brick steps and planters, our team delivers clean, durable brickwork that suits Tooting’s streetscapes. We regularly work around Tooting Broadway station and near Tooting Bec Common, where gardens often need practical height changes and privacy. Whether you’re upgrading a tired wall or adding a new BBQ area, we focus on straight lines, solid footings and neat pointing. All work is planned to minimise disruption and keep your outdoor space usable.
Tooting has a strong mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, each with its own brick colours and detailing. We match bricks and mortar as closely as possible, so new sections don’t look “bolted on”. In the brickwork contractors tooting area, we’re often asked to rebuild leaning walls, add retaining walls for sloped plots, and refresh front garden brickwork with repointing. Our designs respect period features while improving strength and drainage.
We start with a site visit in SW17 to check levels, access and the condition of existing brickwork. You’ll receive a clear scope, material options and a realistic programme before we begin. Our bricklayers work cleanly, protect paving and planting, and keep joints consistent for a premium finish. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, access can be tight on terraced streets and parking is often controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many Tooting gardens have changes in level, which affects footing depth and retaining wall design. We also account for nearby trees and root zones, especially around Tooting Bec Common, to reduce movement risk. Our approach keeps builds compliant, practical and sympathetic to local brick styles.

Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, such as low walls, planters, steps and patios, but there are important exceptions. Front boundary walls, changes near highways, and higher retaining structures can trigger rules, and listed buildings or conservation areas may have extra controls.
