Clean brickwork that lifts your garden
New brick gives shape and calm order to a space. A neat wall frames planting and paths and the whole garden feels cared for. We bring a friendly plan and a tidy finish that sits well with your home.
Survey and guidance
We confirm lines height and length and we check how the wall will meet lawns patios and paths. You receive a fixed figure and a simple schedule so you know what will happen and when.
Matching brick and mortar
Colour and texture matter. We look at local stock and we bring samples so you can see the tone in real light. Mortar shade and joint style are chosen to suit the age of the house and the look you prefer.
Foundations that last
We prepare a base that fits the soil and the height. Levels are set true so courses run straight and the top line feels calm from every angle.
Garden walls and raised beds
Low walls hold shape for borders and seating edges. Raised beds bring height and easy care for herbs and flowers. Every corner lands crisp and every return meets clean.
Steps and landings
Comfortable steps with even rise and going make moving through the garden simple. We set small landings where turns need a pause so the walk feels natural.
Retaining work
Where the ground shifts in level we shape a retaining run that looks balanced and works with drainage. Weeps are included where needed so water moves away with confidence.
Piers and pathways
Gate piers give a smart welcome and keep lines true. Brick edges along paths protect the surface and guide the eye. Small details add a lot of calm to the view.
Rebuild and repoint
We can take down and reset tired sections and we can repoint joints that have weathered. Careful cleaning and fresh mortar bring colour back without harsh treatment.
Tidy work and a clear handover
We protect lawns and paving and we keep the site neat. At the end we brush down wash paths and walk the wall with you so every detail feels right.

Do brick garden walls in Surrey need planning permission
Low walls within your boundary are often permitted development. Walls beside a highway or over certain heights can require permission. We confirm the rules for your address during survey and design the wall to meet local guidance.
What foundations do you use for brick walls
We pour a concrete foundation to the correct depth for your ground conditions, then build the wall in high-quality mortar. For long or tall runs we include piers/buttresses and a damp proof course (DPC) where required.
Can you match existing bricks and mortar colour for Brickworks Surrey projects
Yes. We brick-match from samples and local suppliers and tune mortar with lime/cement blends and pigments so the new work blends cleanly with the original.
How do you protect brick walls from water ingress and frost damage
Copings or brick-on-edge cappings, correct DPC placement, fully filled joints, weep holes where needed, and frost-resistant bricks. We set falls and details to shed water efficiently.
Do long brick walls need movement joints in Surrey’s climate
For long runs we specify expansion/movement joints at sensible intervals based on wall length, aspect and brick type to manage thermal movement and avoid cracking.
What finishes and bonds can you build for garden walls
Stretcher bond, Flemish, English, and decorative panels with soldier or header courses. We can add recessed or flush pointing, brick-on-edge details, and integrated lighting conduits.
How do you design safe brick steps for patios and entrances
We set consistent risers and comfortable treads, add slip-resistant nosings or stone cappings, and tie steps into the patio sub-base. Handrails can be integrated where helpful.
Can you build brick edging for lawns, paths and driveways
Yes—brick-on-edge or flat-laid kerbs set on concrete, perfect for neat lawn edges, porcelain patios and block paved driveways. We align levels so mowing and drainage stay simple.
What materials work best with brick steps and edging in Surrey homes
Brick pairs well with porcelain, sandstone, granite setts and resin bound. We bring samples so you can choose a tone that suits your property style.
How do you decide between repointing and rebuilding damaged brickwork
We assess brick soundness, depth of joint loss and structural movement. If bricks are solid, repointing with the correct mortar usually restores strength. Where bricks are spalled or the wall has moved, we replace units and rebuild sections.
What mortar do you use for repointing in Surrey properties
Like-for-like: lime-based for older breathable brickwork, cement-based for modern walls, colour-matched and tooled to the original profile (flush, recessed, weather-struck, or bucket handle).
Can you repair cracks and stop them returning
We stitch cracks where appropriate, rebuild failed sections, improve drainage if water caused the issue, and add movement joints when thermal expansion is the driver.
