Sidcup gardens often need practical structure as well as style, especially where lawns slope or patios sit at different heights. Our sleeper walls create strong retaining edges, crisp borders and raised beds that make planting easier. We regularly work near Sidcup High Street and around Foots Cray, where gardens range from compact courtyards to deeper family plots. Expect a neat finish that suits the property and stands up to year-round use.
In the DA14 and DA15 postcodes you’ll find plenty of 1930s semis with stepped plots, plus Victorian houses and newer developments with tighter boundaries. We design sleeper walls that fit the scale of the garden, whether you want a low edging line or a deeper retaining wall to reclaim usable space. For homes backing onto greener stretches near Foots Cray Meadows, we can blend practical structure with a softer, natural look. Every build is planned around access, storage and keeping disruption low.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and the best layout, then provide a clear written quote. Your wall is built with proper footings, fixings and drainage where needed, so it stays straight and stable. We protect surrounding paving and planting, keep the site tidy, and run through aftercare once complete. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and a 10-year warranty on installation.
We’re used to the mix of clay-heavy soils and varied levels found across the sleeper walls Sidcup area, which can affect drainage and stability.

Where properties sit close to boundaries, we set out carefully to avoid encroachment and keep lines square. If council considerations apply, we’ll guide you through what’s needed for sleeper walls in London Borough of Bexley.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Sidcup, sleeper walls typically cost £150–£300 per metre depending on height, ground conditions and whether the wall is retaining soil. Most homeowners spend around £800–£3,000 for a complete feature such as raised beds, edging runs, or a short retaining wall with steps. Costs can rise if excavation is heavy, access is restricted, or drainage and reinforcement are required.
Most sleeper wall projects take 1–3 days, depending on length, height and the amount of groundwork. A simple edging or raised bed can often be completed in a day, while retaining walls with drainage, steps or seating usually take longer. Timescales are affected by access for materials, removal of spoil, and whether we need to set deeper footings for stability on sloping ground.
Many garden sleeper walls are permitted development, especially low edging and raised beds within the rear garden. However, rules can change if the wall is near a highway, forms part of a front boundary, or exceeds certain heights, and listed buildings or conservation areas may have extra constraints. We’ll advise during the survey, check the likely requirements, and help you confirm details with the London Borough of Bexley if needed.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect fixing, inadequate footings, or poor drainage detailing. Timber is a natural material, so cosmetic weathering and colour change are expected over time, but we’ll specify suitable sleepers and treatments for longevity. We also explain simple maintenance steps to help your wall perform well for years.
We can build with new or reclaimed timber sleepers, depending on the look you prefer, and design anything from straight edging to curved planters, tiered raised beds, and integrated steps or seating. For retaining walls, we’ll advise on height, drainage and reinforcement so the structure stays stable. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your garden style, from clean modern lines to a more rustic, established feel.
