Honor Oak’s hills and long garden plots often need walls that do more than mark a boundary. We build stone walling that stabilises levels, frames planting and improves privacy, whether you’re near One Tree Hill or a short walk from Honor Oak Park station. From crisp front garden walls to robust retaining structures, every build is set out for clean lines and proper drainage. Work is tailored to SE23 access and your property’s style.
Our team regularly works across the stone walling Honor Oak area, where Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis benefit from sympathetic materials and detailing. A low ragstone wall can suit a traditional frontage, while sandstone or limestone can brighten shaded gardens. For older boundaries, we can rebuild and repoint to keep the character while improving safety. We also match coping stones and piers to existing brickwork and railings.
We start with a site visit to check levels, ground conditions and any load requirements, then provide a clear written specification. Foundations, drainage and backfill are designed to reduce movement on slopes, and we keep the site tidy with planned deliveries and waste removal. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, careful workmanship and durable finishes. All walling is installed to a high standard and backed by our 10-year warranty.
Honor Oak’s gradients and mixed soils mean walling needs careful footing depth and drainage. We plan access around narrower roads, controlled parking and delivery timings common near SE23. Where gardens back onto slopes, we design retaining walls with proper weep holes and free-draining backfill. We also consider Lewisham guidance on boundary heights and street-facing changes before work begins.

Costs depend on stone type, wall height, access and whether it’s retaining. As a guide, mortared stone walls often start around £250–£450 per m², while dry stone can be £300–£550 per m² due to the extra hand-setting. Retaining walls with drainage and reinforced footings commonly fall between £450–£900 per m². We’ll survey your site and provide an itemised estimate.
Most small boundary walls take 2–5 days, while larger garden or retaining walls typically take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on length and height, excavation depth, curing time for mortared work, and whether we’re rebuilding an existing wall. Access and deliveries in SE23 can also affect scheduling. After the site visit, we’ll confirm a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change if the wall fronts a highway, exceeds certain heights, or if your property is in a conservation area. Retaining walls can also raise structural and drainage considerations. We’ll discuss your design, check practical constraints, and advise if you should confirm details with the London Borough of Lewisham before starting. If needed, we can supply drawings and specifications.
Yes. Our stone walling comes with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including structural integrity issues caused by installation faults. It includes correct footing construction, wall stability and mortar performance where applicable. The warranty does not cover accidental impact damage, ground movement from external causes (such as major tree root disruption), or neglect of drainage we’ve advised. We’ll also provide care guidance to keep your wall looking its best.
We build dry stone and mortared stone walls using flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone, with options for copings, piers and recessed panels. Retaining walls can be finished as feature walls to blend structure with design. We’ll help you choose based on your home’s style, the garden’s slope, and how you want the wall to weather over time. Samples and reference photos are available during consultation.
