Those crumbling brick boundaries around Mitcham's Victorian terraces deserve better. Stone walling brings permanence and character to gardens that have watched generations pass by.

Mitcham's mix of compact terraces and sprawling properties near the Common creates unique boundary challenges. Stone walls solve the awkward slopes where Figges Marsh meets the railway line, while adding value to properties squeezed between busy roads. Local clay soil shifts constantly, but properly-founded stonework stands firm where timber fencing fails repeatedly.
Each stone wall begins with excavation down to stable ground - crucial given Mitcham's notorious London clay. Foundation depth varies between 450-600mm depending on wall height and ground conditions. Natural stone selection considers both aesthetics and local weather patterns, with frost-resistant options essential for exposed sites near Mitcham Common. Proper drainage channels prevent the waterlogging that plagues so many CR4 gardens.
Twenty-three years building walls across South London means understanding Mitcham's specific challenges. From matching existing stonework on period properties to navigating narrow access between terraces, local knowledge matters.

Boundary walls in CR4 typically range £180-280 per linear metre, though complex retaining walls near Colliers Wood's slopes can reach £400. Small feature walls start around £2,500.
Absolutely - from the conservation areas around Cricket Green to new developments near Mitcham Eastfields. Regular projects span both CR4 and SW16, including Pollards Hill and Longthornton.
A standard 15-metre boundary wall takes 8-10 working days, weather permitting. Larger projects around Mitcham Common properties might extend to three weeks including groundwork.
Every wall carries decade-long structural coverage. This includes foundation integrity, pointing work, and stone stability - peace of mind for a proper investment in your property.
Stone offers a permanent upgrade from those weathered concrete posts. Height matches existing panels (usually 1.8m), but the transformation is remarkable - especially where gardens back onto busy roads like Western Road.
