From smart front boundaries to practical garden upgrades, our brickwork team creates structures that look right for West Dulwich. We regularly work around West Dulwich station and near Belair Park, where gardens often need better levels, safer steps or stronger edging. Whether you’re after a new garden wall, brick planters or a built-in BBQ area, we focus on clean detailing and durability. Every build is set out carefully so it sits square and complements your outdoor space.
West Dulwich is known for leafy streets and handsome period properties, including Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and well-kept conversions. These homes suit traditional brick tones, neat mortar joints and sympathetic proportions, especially for front walls and brick pillars. We can match or contrast existing brickwork depending on the look you want, and we’ll advise on coping stones, soldier courses and step geometry. If your existing masonry is tired, repointing can restore strength and improve kerb appeal without a full rebuild.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you use the garden, then provide a clear written quotation. Our process covers proper foundations, drainage where needed for retaining walls, and careful pointing for a consistent finish. We protect paving and planting, keep the site tidy, and communicate throughout so there are no surprises. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, high standards, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
As brickwork contractors West Dulwich area homeowners rely on, we plan for typical access constraints on residential roads and organise deliveries to minimise disruption. Gardens near Dulwich Wood and Thurlow Park can involve level changes, so we factor in retaining design and water run-off from the outset. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and party-wall sensitivities common with period conversions. Where required, we align our approach with London Borough of Lambeth expectations and good building practice.

Costs vary with access, foundations, brick choice and detailing. As a guide, repointing is often £40–£80 per m², while small garden walls commonly start around £900–£2,500. Retaining walls with drainage and deeper footings may be £250–£450 per m². Brick steps, pillars, planters or a BBQ area are typically £800–£4,500 depending on size and finishes. We’ll itemise options after a site visit.
Many smaller jobs, such as repointing a section or building a planter, take 1–3 days. A new garden wall or set of brick steps is often 3–7 days, while retaining walls or combined features can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for footings, weather, site access and whether materials need matching. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts.
Most garden brickwork is permitted development, especially repairs, repointing, planters and low walls. Permission may be needed for taller front boundary walls, works affecting a highway, or if your property is listed or within a conservation area. Retaining walls can also require extra consideration if they alter levels significantly or impact drainage. We’ll discuss the proposal, check constraints, and advise if you should contact Lambeth or submit an application.
Yes. Our brickwork comes with a 10-year workmanship warranty, covering defects linked to installation such as poor bonding, failing joints, or movement caused by inadequate foundations (subject to fair use and ground conditions). Materials are covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. We also provide care guidance for new mortar and sealing options for certain finishes. If an issue arises, we respond promptly and aim to resolve it without hassle.
We can build with reclaimed-style bricks for period character, modern wirecut bricks for crisp lines, or engineering bricks for strength and damp resistance. Popular options include brick-on-edge copings, stone or concrete copings, recessed or weather-struck pointing, and contrasting band courses. For features, we build BBQ areas, fire pits, steps, pillars and raised planters sized to your layout. We’ll help you choose colours and details that suit West Dulwich homes and your garden style.
