A new boundary wall in Bookham does more than mark a perimeter. On properties where timber fencing has repeatedly rotted or blown down, a well-built brick wall is a one-time investment. It holds its position, requires no painting or treatment, and can be built to complement the brickwork on your house rather than sit awkwardly alongside it. It also increases privacy, defines the boundaries of your outdoor space, and adds long-term value to the property.
We carry out all the necessary foundation work first. A wall without proper footings will move and crack within a few seasons, particularly through winter freeze-thaw cycles. The right mortar mix matters too. Brickwork in Bookham that uses the wrong specification will deteriorate faster than it should, which is why we specify materials correctly for each job. We also fit coping stones as standard, which protect the top course from frost damage and water penetration over time.
Planning permission is worth knowing about before work starts. In Bookham, you can generally build a wall up to one metre high adjacent to a highway, or up to two metres high elsewhere on your property, without needing permission. There are exceptions. If your home is a listed building or sits within a conservation area, different rules apply. We offer advice on planning permission and regulations during our initial consultation, so you know exactly where you stand before any work begins.
