Whether you need a retaining wall for a sloping plot or a feature wall to frame a patio, our stonework is built for longevity and clean lines. We regularly work across SE18, including projects near the Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Town Centre. Choose dry stone for a natural, breathable finish, or mortared stone for sharper detailing and higher containment. Every wall is set out carefully to complement your garden layout and existing brickwork.
Woolwich’s mix of Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments calls for flexible design and tidy site management. In Plumstead and Charlton we often build boundary and front-garden walls that match period proportions and coping styles. Around newer developments, homeowners tend to opt for contemporary feature walls with sawn sandstone or limestone. We’ll advise on height, thickness and finishes so the wall looks right and performs properly.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, drainage and access, then we provide a clear written specification. We prepare a stable footing, select and dress stone for a consistent face, and build with correct batter, weeps and backfill where needed. Work areas are kept organised, with materials stored safely and paths protected. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, craftsmanship, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Stone walling woolwich area projects often involve tight access, shared paths and limited parking, especially near the Royal Arsenal and the ferry routes. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess sub-base and drainage before setting footings. We also consider Royal Borough of Greenwich expectations where walls front onto streets or sit near boundaries.

Costs vary by stone type, wall height/thickness, foundations and access. As a guide, simple mortared stone walls often start around £250–£450 per m², while premium stone facing, copings and detailed pointing can be £450–£750+ per m². Dry stone walling is typically priced per m² too, often similar or slightly higher for skilled selection and laying. Retaining walls may cost more due to drainage and reinforcement.
Most small garden walls take 2–5 days once materials are on site, while longer boundary runs or retaining walls can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on wall length, height, footing depth, curing time for concrete and mortar, and how much cutting or dressing the stone needs. Access in SE18 can also affect delivery and spoil removal. We provide a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can apply to height, visibility near roads, and whether the wall fronts a highway. Listed buildings and conservation considerations can also affect what’s allowed, particularly around historic conversions. We’ll ask where the wall sits, measure proposed heights, and flag any likely restrictions. If needed, we can help you gather the details for the Royal Borough of Greenwich before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our stone walls, covering issues such as movement caused by poor construction, inadequate footings, or faulty pointing. The warranty applies when the wall is used as intended and not altered by others. Natural materials can weather over time, but a properly built wall should remain stable and true. We also explain maintenance, including repointing intervals for mortared walls where appropriate.
We build in flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone, in either dry stone or mortared construction. Popular options include flint feature panels with brick piers, ragstone boundary walls for period homes, and clean-lined sandstone for modern gardens. For slopes, we design retaining walls with drainage and weep holes to protect the structure. We’ll bring samples, discuss colour and texture, and recommend copings and finishes to suit your property.
