Bermondsey’s mix of warehouse conversions and compact courtyards calls for landscaping that works hard and looks sharp. Gabion walls add instant texture and structure, whether you’re creating a retaining wall, a raised planter, or a discreet divider. Around Bermondsey Street and Maltby Street Market, homeowners often want a contemporary finish that still feels natural. Our gabion builds deliver that balance with robust engineering and clean detailing.
Across SE1 and SE16 we regularly work with converted warehouses near London Bridge, Victorian terraces on quieter streets, and modern apartments with terraces or podium gardens. Each property type has different constraints—load limits, drainage routes, and access through communal areas. We tailor gabion wall design to suit the setting, from slimline planters to full-height retaining solutions. If you’re upgrading a riverside space near Tower Bridge, we can match the look to modern architecture without sacrificing durability.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and confirm access, then provide a clear design and itemised quote. Every installation is built on a properly prepared base with correct stone grading and secure cages for long-term stability. We keep the site tidy, coordinate deliveries for narrow streets, and communicate throughout. Local homeowners choose us for dependable timelines, premium finishes, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Southwark, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, especially near Bermondsey Spa Gardens and busier SE1 streets. We plan deliveries, loading and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep neighbours onside. Ground conditions vary from made-up ground around redeveloped sites to older garden soils behind terraces, so we specify the right base build-up and drainage. Where properties have communal routes, we use tidy methods and protect shared surfaces.

Costs in Bermondsey typically range from £250–£450 per m² for standard gabion walls, depending on cage thickness, stone type and site access. Retaining walls with deeper foundations, steps, or engineering checks can rise to £450–£700 per m². Built-in seating, planters, water features or integrated lighting add to the total. We’ll survey levels and access in SE1/SE16 and provide an itemised quote.
Most small gabion features (planters, dividers or short seating walls) take 1–3 days, including base preparation and stone fill. Larger retaining walls usually take 3–7 days, depending on excavation, drainage runs and the amount of stone to place. Timescales can change with restricted access, delivery windows, or if we’re coordinating with paving and planting. We confirm a programme before work starts.
Many garden gabion walls are permitted development, particularly when they’re not adjacent to a highway and remain within typical height limits. However, rules can change for front gardens, listed buildings, conservation areas, or where a wall affects boundaries and visibility. In Southwark, we’ll flag potential constraints early and advise if you should check with the council. If required, we can support with drawings and specifications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gabion wall installations, covering issues such as cage fixing, alignment, base preparation and construction-related movement. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage and surrounding ground levels aren’t altered after completion. We also use quality galvanised (or coated) cages and suitable stone grading to reduce settlement. If any snagging arises, we respond quickly and put it right.
Gabions are highly flexible: choose from limestone, granite, flint, recycled brick, or mixed river stone fills to suit your style. We can build retaining walls, seating, raised planters, water feature surrounds and privacy dividers, with custom sizes to fit awkward corners. For a refined look, we can specify tighter mesh, uniform stone grading, or feature bands. We’ll guide you on colour, texture and maintenance for your Bermondsey space.
