Notting Hill gardens often need smart boundaries, level changes resolved, or a statement backdrop for planting. We build stone walls that complement the area’s colourful streetscape, from Ladbroke Grove to Holland Park. Whether you’re near Portobello Road Market or Notting Hill Gate, our walls are set out precisely and finished for a premium look. Choose retaining walls for practical support or feature walls to frame seating and borders.
We’re used to working around pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and compact mews houses where space and access are tight. In the stone walling Notting Hill area, clients often want materials that feel authentic rather than overly uniform. We regularly specify flint, ragstone, sandstone or limestone to match period details and existing brickwork. Every build is tailored to your levels, drainage and the way you use the garden.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and design guidance, followed by a clear written quote and programme. We handle foundations, drainage and reinforcement where needed, then build and point for durability and neat lines. Work is kept tidy with careful protection of paving, planting and neighbouring boundaries, and we coordinate deliveries to minimise disruption. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, many properties sit within conservation areas and close to party walls, so detailing and boundary accuracy matter. W11 streets can have limited parking and timed restrictions, especially around the Carnival route and Portobello Road, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for variable sub-bases in older gardens and ensure retaining walls include drainage to prevent pressure build-up. Our approach suits compact courtyards as well as larger plots near Bayswater and Kensington.

Costs vary by height, access, foundations and stone choice. As a guide, straightforward mortared stone walling often starts around £250–£450 per m², while dry stone can be £300–£550 per m² due to the hand-selection and fitting. Retaining walls with drainage, reinforced footings or difficult access in W11 commonly fall in the £450–£800+ per m² range. We’ll confirm after a site survey and levels check.
Most small garden walls take 2–5 days, depending on length, height and whether we’re building new footings. Retaining walls typically take 4–10 days because of excavation, drainage, curing time and any reinforcement. Access constraints common in Notting Hill mews houses can add time for hand-carrying materials. Weather, stone availability and any hidden issues (old footings, services, unstable ground) can also affect the programme.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change with height, location (especially front boundaries), listed buildings and conservation areas. In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, extra controls may apply, and party wall matters can be relevant where boundaries are shared. We’ll advise on likely requirements, check constraints for your address, and can help you prepare information for the council if needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our stone walling, covering issues caused by installation such as movement from inadequate foundations, poor bonding or defective pointing. It also includes defects arising from incorrect drainage provision on retaining walls where specified. Natural material variation and damage from impact, tree root movement, or third-party alterations aren’t covered. We’ll explain maintenance and provide aftercare guidance to keep the wall performing well.
We build dry stone and mortared stone walls, plus flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone finishes to suit local architecture. Popular choices in Notting Hill include crisp mortared limestone for a refined look, or characterful ragstone for period gardens. We can add copings, piers, recessed lighting channels and stepped detailing for sloping sites. We’ll help you choose stone, joint style and wall proportions based on your home, garden layout and budget.
