What I build and repair
Brick and stone is the trade I grew up in. Most jobs start with a wall and grow into the garden around it, so I do the whole thing, with a small team I trust.
Garden and boundary walls
New walls, rebuilds of leaning or cracked ones, piers and coping, matched to the bricks you already have.
Patios and steps
Sandstone, slate and porcelain patios, raised terraces and brick steps with proper falls and drainage.
Brickwork and extensions
Openings, window and door alterations, toothed-in repairs and new brickwork that blends with the old.
Repointing and repairs
Raking out and repointing in sand-and-cement or lime mortar, crack stitching and replacing spalled bricks.
Stone, flint and dry-stone walling
Traditional flint panels, stone walls and dry-stone work for period homes and gardens.
Garden builds and outdoor kitchens
Raised beds, rendered seating walls, planters and outdoor kitchens, built as one finished garden.
Emergency bricklaying
Storm damage, collapsed walls and unsafe brickwork made safe quickly, then repaired properly.
Every job guaranteed
All completed work carries a five-year guarantee as standard, in writing, at no extra cost.
One garden, from bare ground to finished
A recent build in Beckenham: retaining walls, rendered planters, a sandstone patio, an olive tree surround and an outdoor kitchen with a log store.
Footings and blockwork for the raised planters, built around the existing olive tree.
Patio laid to falls, planters rendered, ready for the kitchen base.
Planted, seated and swept, with a five-year guarantee on every wall.
Timber doors set into rendered blockwork, with the log store built into the run.

Every photo here is a job I did. Walls are shot square on, in daylight, so you can see the courses and the pointing for yourself.
