A well-built wall can transform a garden—adding privacy, structure, and a crisp boundary that looks right year-round. We design and build walls across SE23, from compact courtyards near Forest Hill station to larger plots by Blythe Hill Fields. Whether you need a retaining wall to manage levels or a decorative feature wall for planting, we tailor the build to your space. Repairs are also available where older brickwork has started to crack or lean.
Forest Hill’s Victorian and Edwardian houses often come with original brick boundaries, raised beds, and stepped gardens that need careful detailing. We match brick bonds, mortar colour, and coping styles so new work sits comfortably alongside period conversions. For contemporary extensions and renovated gardens, we can introduce clean-lined rendered walls or stone finishes that complement modern paving. Our local experience helps you get a wall that suits your home, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage, and the right footing depth, then provide a clear written quote. Your wall is built with proper foundations, movement joints where needed, and neat pointing for a long service life. We keep disruption down with tidy storage and daily clean-ups, and we communicate timings so you can plan around access. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, high-end finishes, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Many gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham have level changes, tight side access, and shared boundaries, especially around Sydenham and Honor Oak. We plan deliveries and waste removal to suit local parking and access constraints, and we protect existing paving and planting. Where ground is sloped or made-up, we adjust footing depth and specify drainage behind retaining walls. The result is a wall that performs well and looks right for the street.
