Brick walls, retaining walls & piers across SE23
Garden Walls & Brickwork in Forest Hill
Garden walls in Forest Hill have to cope with clay soil that swells and shrinks, so foundations matter more than the brick on top. We build brick garden walls, front boundary walls, piers and retaining walls across SE23 on properly sized concrete footings, with damp-proof courses and copings that keep water out.
We match reclaimed or new bricks to the brickwork of Victorian villas on hilly streets, and we design retaining walls with drainage behind them so they don't bow under wet soil.

Usually, yes. We source matching new or reclaimed bricks.
