The work

Brick Walls for Chiswick homes

Chiswick is a short run for us, so a look at a brick walls job here is a visit rather than a day of travel priced into the quote. We work across W4 and out into Brentford, Acton, Kew, Hammersmith, Richmond.

Most leaning garden walls in West London were built without enough foundation, or without piers to stiffen a long run. Once a wall starts to move there is no repointing it back to straight, so it comes down and goes back up on a proper footing.

The other failure point is the top. A wall with no coping, or with a cracked cement capping, takes water straight into the brickwork. Frost then blows the face off the brick. A coping with a drip, over a damp proof course, stops it.

What's included

What brick walls covers

  • Foundations

    Dug and concreted to suit the wall height and the ground, not the minimum that will stand up.

  • Piers and returns

    Piers built into long runs and at gates, so the wall has stiffness where it needs it.

  • Bond and brick

    Laid in the bond and brick that matches the house or the street.

  • Copings and cappings

    Brick-on-edge, stone or concrete coping over a damp proof course, with a drip.

  • Retaining walls

    Built with the drainage and thickness the retained ground needs.

  • Rebuilds

    Leaning or cracked walls taken down, foundations put right, and rebuilt.

The process

How a brick walls job runs in Chiswick

  1. Step 01

    Measure and check the ground

    Height, length, what the wall retains and what the ground is like all set the foundation.

  2. Step 02

    Agree brick and coping

    You see the brick, the bond and the coping option before we start.

  3. Step 03

    Dig and build

    Foundation in, wall built with piers and movement joints where the run needs them.

  4. Step 04

    Cap and clear

    Coping bedded over a damp course, joints pointed, and the spoil taken away.

The price

Brick Walls costs

What brick walls costs comes down to what you actually have, not a price list. Two jobs that sound identical can be an hour of work or a week of it, which is why we do not price roofing over the phone. We come and look, then put a figure in writing.

  • Wall height and length, and whether it retains ground.
  • Foundation depth, which the ground conditions decide.
  • Brick choice, and whether reclaimed brick is wanted to match.
  • Access for materials, and how much spoil has to be carried out.

Questions

Brick Walls in Chiswick: common questions

Still not sure? Ring and ask. It is usually quicker than typing it out, and you will speak to the person who would do the work.

How high can I build a garden wall?

Planning rules generally limit a wall next to a highway to one metre and elsewhere to two metres without permission, and your own deeds may say more. We will flag it if what you want looks like it needs an application.

Can my leaning wall be straightened?

Not reliably. Once a wall has moved, taking it down and rebuilding on a corrected foundation is the honest answer. Propping and repointing a leaning wall just delays it.

Does a retaining wall need drainage?

Yes. Water pressure behind a retaining wall is what pushes it over, so drainage and weep holes go in as part of the build, not as an optional extra.

How deep does the foundation need to be?

It depends on the height of the wall and the ground it sits on, and it is dug and looked at rather than assumed. A low garden wall needs far less than a two-metre boundary wall or anything retaining ground, and the quote names what we are digging.

Do I need my neighbour's agreement?

If the wall sits on the boundary it is worth having the conversation before we start, and a wall astride the line can bring the Party Wall Act into it. We will flag it when it looks likely, and you should confirm the position yourself.
