Crystal Palace gardens often need strong boundaries and smart level changes, especially around Crystal Palace Park and the hillier streets of Gipsy Hill. We design and build garden walls that look right from day one and stay solid through London weather. Choose from brick, stone or rendered finishes, plus decorative detailing to match your home. We also carry out wall repairs where movement or weathering has taken its toll.
Our team works across SE19 and SE20, helping homeowners in Upper Norwood, Anerley and Penge. Many properties here are Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, so we pay close attention to brick colour, pointing style and proportions. Whether you need a front boundary wall, a raised planter edge, or a retaining wall to manage a slope, we tailor the build to your plot and architecture. The result is a wall that feels original, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, and any signs of ground movement, then provide a written scope and itemised estimate. Your wall is built on proper foundations with quality materials and careful setting-out, keeping lines straight and finishes crisp. We protect paving and planting, keep the site tidy, and update you daily on progress. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, skilled brickwork, and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
The Crystal Palace area spans multiple council boundaries, so requirements can differ between the London Borough of Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. Sloping plots and clay-heavy soils can increase the need for deeper footings and good drainage behind retaining walls. Access and parking can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our approach suits the mix of period front gardens and stepped rear terraces common locally.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For garden walls in Crystal Palace, most homeowners budget £150–£400 per metre depending on height, foundations, and finish (brick, stone, or render). Typical projects come in around £1,500–£6,000 for boundary runs, raised beds, or small retaining sections. Costs rise with difficult access, demolition and disposal of old walls, bespoke copings, piers, or structural retaining requirements.
Most garden wall projects take 2–5 days, covering demolition (if needed), excavation, foundations, walling, and finishing such as copings or rendering. Timescales depend on wall length and height, curing time for footings, and whether it’s a retaining wall requiring drainage and reinforcement. Poor weather, restricted access, or matching reclaimed bricks can also add time, but we’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, whether the wall fronts a highway, and if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Because Crystal Palace sits across Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham, we check the relevant council guidance for your address. If permission or a party wall notice is advisable, we’ll flag it early and help you plan accordingly.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on new garden wall builds, covering issues caused by installation faults such as poor alignment, defective pointing, or inadequate fixing of copings. Materials are supplied to manufacturer standards, and we use appropriate foundations and drainage where required. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental impact damage, alterations by others, or extreme ground movement outside reasonable control, but we’ll always advise on prevention.
We build brick walls, stone walls, rendered walls, retaining walls and decorative garden walls, plus targeted wall repairs. Popular options include matching London stock-style brickwork, reclaimed bricks for period character, natural stone or stone-faced finishes, and smooth or textured render. We can add copings, piers, recessed panels, or curved sections where space allows. We’ll recommend the best choice based on your home’s style, exposure, and budget.
