A well-built garden wall adds security, structure and character—especially in SE26 where gardens often step and slope. We build brick walls, stone walls, rendered walls and retaining walls to define lawns, patios and planting beds. Whether you’re near Sydenham Wells Park or heading towards Bell Green, we’ll match the wall to your home and the way you use the space. Decorative piers, copings and tidy pointing are all part of the finish.
Sydenham’s Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions look best with materials that respect the original architecture. We regularly rebuild tired boundary walls, repair failed mortar joints and upgrade low walls that have started to lean. For gardens in Forest Hill and Lower Sydenham, we often incorporate retaining sections to create level terraces and safer steps. The result is a wall that feels “right” for the property, not an off-the-shelf add-on.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage, access and what’s happening below ground before we set out the build. You’ll get clear options on materials, finishes and costs, plus a tidy schedule that fits around your household. Our team works cleanly, protects planting where possible, and keeps neighbours in mind on shared boundaries. Homeowners choose us because we’re local (around 20 minutes away) and we stand behind our workmanship with a 10-year warranty.
Ground conditions in Sydenham can vary, with clay-heavy soils and pockets of tree roots near green spaces such as Sydenham Hill Wood. We allow for movement with proper footings, drainage and expansion details where needed. Access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. For garden walls in London Borough of Lewisham, we also consider boundary heights and visibility where properties front the street.

Most jobs take 2–5 days, covering set-out, excavation, foundations, build and finishing. Small wall repairs can be quicker, while retaining walls or longer boundary runs take longer due to deeper footings and drainage layers. Weather, access for materials, and whether we’re removing an existing wall can also affect the programme. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, whether the wall faces a highway, and if your home is in a conservation area. With period streets around SE26, it’s sensible to check before building or raising a boundary. We’ll flag likely constraints, advise on typical limits, and can help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Lewisham where needed.
