Garden Wall Repair in Orpington After Vehicle Damage
I had a call recently from a customer in Orpington whose front garden wall had taken a hit from a passing vehicle.

It happens more often than you'd think. A wall sits there minding its own business for years, then someone clips the kerb or misjudges a turn and a chunk of brickwork ends up in pieces on the pavement. Jobs like this are a regular part of the brickwork repair work I do across Orpington and the surrounding area.
The corner section was completely gone. Bricks scattered, the coping knocked clean off, and the rest of the wall left looking sorry for itself next to the flower bed.
The first job was clearing out the damaged brickwork and digging down to solid ground, so the new section would have something proper to sit on. After that, it was a case of rebuilding the corner brick by brick, matching the bond and the brick type as closely as possible to the original wall, and finishing it off with the same dark coping stones along the top so it ties in properly and looks like nothing ever happened.
A few hours later, you'd struggle to tell which section had been damaged. The lines are clean, the coping is level, and the wall is solid again rather than an accident waiting to happen.
Jobs like this are pretty typical of what I do as a bricklayer covering Orpington and the wider area, garden wall repair, brickwork repointing, patio work and full rebuilds alike, not just new builds from scratch. If a wall, patio or bit of brickwork on your property has seen better days, or you've had similar damage from a vehicle or general wear and tear, get in touch and I'll come and take a look.
