Sloping plots and split-level patios are common around Brook Green and the riverside, where gardens need structure as well as style. We design and build retaining walls that hold back soil, create usable terraces, and finish beautifully with planting and paving. Whether you’re upgrading a courtyard near King Street or improving access to a lower garden, we’ll tailor the wall to your space. Expect clean lines, tidy edges, and long-term stability.
Hammersmith homes range from Victorian terraces to mansion flats and modern riverside developments, so no two gardens behave the same. We regularly work with tight side access, basement lightwells, and raised planters that need engineered support. Our solutions suit both period brickwork and contemporary finishes, keeping the look consistent with the property. If you’re near Shepherd's Bush or W6 streets with limited storage, we plan deliveries and logistics carefully.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, loads, and drainage routes, then propose a design with clear options and costs. Every build includes proper foundations, reinforcement where required, and drainage details to reduce hydrostatic pressure. We keep neighbours informed, protect existing paving and planting, and leave the site clean each day. Homeowners choose us for transparent communication, skilled workmanship, and dependable aftercare.
In the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, access can be restricted by narrow passages, resident parking controls, and busy routes near Hammersmith Bridge and the A4. We plan waste removal, delivery timings, and on-site storage to keep projects moving. Ground conditions vary from made ground to clay pockets, so we size footings and drainage accordingly. For retaining walls hammersmith area homeowners rely on, we prioritise stability, water management, and a finish that suits the street.

Costs depend on height, access, and materials. In W6, small sleeper or block retaining walls often start around £250–£450 per linear metre, while brick or stone walls are commonly £450–£900+ per linear metre. Gabion walls can be cost-effective but need space and stone fill. Drainage, steps, coping, and engineering for taller walls will increase the budget, especially with restricted access.
Most garden retaining wall builds take 2–7 working days, depending on length, height, and whether terracing is included. A simple sleeper wall with straightforward access can be completed quickly, while brick or stonework takes longer due to foundations, curing time, and detailing. Timescales also change with drainage requirements, removal of spoil, and delivery constraints on busy Hammersmith streets.
Many garden retaining walls are permitted development, but rules can apply if the wall is near a highway, significantly alters ground levels, or forms part of a boundary. Flats, listed buildings, and conservation areas can have extra restrictions. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham guidance before work starts, so the design stays compliant.
Yes. Our retaining wall installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including structural stability related to our build, such as foundations, construction method, and installed drainage details. It doesn’t cover damage caused by third-party alterations, extreme events beyond reasonable design assumptions, or pre-existing ground movement outside the wall footprint. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before the project begins.
We build brick walls to match period terraces, natural stone walls for a premium finish, sleeper walls for warm, modern garden terraces, and block walls with rendered or clad finishes. Gabion walls suit contemporary schemes and can handle tricky drainage. We’ll help you choose based on height, space, and budget, then add essentials like coping, steps, and integrated drainage for a long-lasting result.
