Victorian terraces throughout Clapham deserve boundaries that echo their architectural heritage. Stone walling transforms modest London gardens into sophisticated outdoor spaces that stand the test of time.

Clapham's mix of period properties and contemporary developments creates unique opportunities for stone installations. From compact courtyard gardens near the Common to larger plots in Abbeville Village, each project demands careful consideration of scale and style. Local planning restrictions often favour natural materials, making stone an ideal choice for boundary walls and decorative features.
Working with stone requires understanding how different materials behave in London's climate. Yorkstone develops a beautiful patina in our damp winters, while granite maintains its crisp finish year-round. Proper foundation work prevents the subsidence issues common in clay-heavy soil areas between Stockwell and Battersea. Drainage channels integrated into the base course protect against the water damage that plagues poorly constructed walls.
Twenty years building walls across South London means knowing which suppliers deliver quality stone on time to tight urban sites. Strong relationships with local conservation officers smooth the approval process for work near listed buildings.

Straightforward boundary walls start around £180 per square metre, while intricate dry-stone features can reach £350. Most Clapham gardens require 15-30 square metres, putting typical projects between £2,700 and £10,500.
Absolutely - regular projects span from Northcote Road through to Clapham Old Town. Both SW4 and SW11 postcodes fall within our standard working area, including all the residential streets around Clapham Common station.
A standard garden wall measuring 10 metres takes roughly 5-7 working days from excavation to pointing. Larger retaining walls or complex curved designs might extend to 2-3 weeks.
All structural walls carry decade-long protection against defects in construction or materials. This covers movement, mortar failure, and stone degradation - essentially everything except impact damage.
Stone complements original brickwork beautifully when chosen thoughtfully. Reclaimed York stone pairs perfectly with London stock brick, while limestone offers a lighter contrast. Many Clapham gardens benefit from mixing materials to create visual interest whilst respecting the property's period character.
