Norbury's Victorian terraces deserve boundaries that match their character. Stone walls bring permanence and elegance to gardens where timber fences struggle against the clay soil shifts common around Streatham Common.

Building stone walls in Norbury requires understanding the local landscape quirks. Many properties here sit on London clay that moves seasonally, making proper foundation work essential. The mix of period homes near Norbury Park and newer developments towards Pollards Hill each need different approaches to complement their architectural style.
Stone selection depends heavily on your property's existing features. Cotswold limestone suits the grander homes along Green Lane, while rustic sandstone works beautifully with the cottage-style gardens scattered through Thornton Heath. Foundation depth varies between 450mm for low retaining walls to 750mm where ground levels change dramatically. Each stone gets hand-selected for colour consistency and structural integrity before placement.
Twenty years of walling across South London means knowing which quarries supply stone that weathers well in our climate. Local knowledge matters when navigating the sloped gardens typical of properties backing onto Norbury Brook.

Yes - many 1960s properties still have original concrete block walls that can be faced with natural stone or completely rebuilt. The transformation adds significant kerb appeal whilst solving any structural issues with the ageing concrete.
