Bermondsey’s mix of riverside conversions and classic terraces deserves walling that looks intentional and performs for decades. Whether you’re near Bermondsey Street or walking distance from Maltby Street Market, a well-built stone wall can define a courtyard, level a sloping garden, or frame planting beautifully. We create dry stone and mortared stone walls with clean lines and careful stone selection. The result is a premium finish that complements brick, timber and contemporary metalwork.
Our team regularly works across SE1 and SE16, where access can be tight and gardens are often compact or multi-level. Converted warehouses commonly need smart feature walls for courtyards and roof terraces, while Victorian terraces benefit from robust boundary walls and sympathetic repairs. Modern apartments around London Bridge and Surrey Quays often call for retaining walls and raised beds to maximise usable space. We tailor stone choice and construction method to the property style and how you use the garden.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and load requirements, then provide a clear specification for the build. Every wall is set out properly, founded to suit ground conditions, and finished with consistent jointing or tight dry-stone packing. We protect paving and planting, keep neighbours considered, and leave the site clean each day. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Southwark means planning for restricted access, controlled parking and busy streets near Tower Bridge and Rotherhithe. We schedule deliveries to minimise disruption and can bring materials in smaller loads when needed. Ground conditions vary, so we assess bearing and drainage before setting foundations for retaining walls. Our finishes suit Bermondsey’s warehouse courtyards, Victorian brickwork and contemporary terraces.

Costs depend on wall height, access, foundations and stone type. As a guide, mortared stone walling often starts around £250–£450 per m², while dry stone can be £300–£600 per m² due to the skilled hand-laying. Retaining walls with drainage, reinforcement or engineering details typically range from £450–£900+ per m². We’ll confirm a tailored range after a site visit in SE1/SE16.
Most small garden walls take 2–5 days, while larger boundary runs or retaining walls can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, drainage requirements, curing time for mortared work, and access for materials (common around Bermondsey Street and London Bridge). Weather can also affect progress, especially for mortar and pointing. We provide a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change with height, location next to a highway, or if your property is listed or within a conservation area. Retaining walls may also need extra consideration where they affect levels, drainage or neighbouring land. We’ll flag likely constraints early and can help you check Southwark requirements before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our stone walling, covering issues caused by installation such as movement from inadequate foundations, poor jointing, or incorrect drainage detailing. Natural stone itself can vary in colour and texture, which is part of its character, but we select and lay it consistently. If a problem arises, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right in line with the warranty terms.
We build dry stone and mortared stone walls using flint, ragstone, sandstone or limestone, depending on the look you want and the setting. Popular choices in the stone walling Bermondsey area include clean-cut sandstone for modern courtyards and ragstone for a more traditional feel. We can add copings, piers, steps, and integrated planters, plus retaining wall drainage. We’ll bring samples and propose a design that suits your property and budget.
