Does your project require a retaining wall? Is there a risk of ground movement on your site or property? Like any other form of masonry or brickwork, the retaining wall construction process requires specialist knowledge from time-served brickwork contractors. At Parker Brickwork & Building Ltd, this is exactly what we do. Our team of experienced bricklayers has the know-how to deliver safe, structurally sound retaining walls that are built to last, with the perfect blend of aesthetic appeal.
Based in Guildford, our masonry contractors cover the surrounding Surrey areas. Some of our key service locations include Woking, Aldershot, Camberley, Cobham, Esher, Farnborough, Farnham, Oxshott, and Weybridge.
Every retaining wall requires its own different design and make-up. It has its own unique purpose. From retaining a small planting area to holding back loose ground to protect public highways, we take on a range of works, large or small.
Our brickwork and masonry contractors are also specialists in dry stone walls.
From the outset, Parker Brickwork & Building Ltd determines the problem faced or the purpose of failure for each retaining wall. This may be an aged wall over 200 years old, a cracking wall with poor foundations or bellying walls due to an uneven load. These are among the most common reasons walls fail.
We aim to eliminate any potential risks. To do so, we choose an appropriate design and engineer it if necessary. We also take into account the load-bearing blockwork’s purpose, ensuring our design has the strength to last for many years.
We design our retaining walls around meticulous structural calculations. To collect the information we need, we must conduct a site investigation. This process provides our masonry and brickwork contractors with key information, such as the ground-bearing capacity, the type of retained material, and the height of the water table.
As you would expect from reputable brickwork and masonry contractors, we follow a strict design and method process tailored to suit each project. We can provide an engineered design if deemed necessary on a site visit.
Retaining walls perform a vital role in their immediate setting. For ongoing safety and cost-effectiveness, we recommend you work with experienced masonry and brickwork contractors.
At Parker Brickwork & Building Ltd, we like to cover every eventuality. This is why clients in Guildford, Woking, and the surrounding Surrey areas trust our professional, time-served company for all retaining wall repairs and builds. Failed walls unfit for purpose are prime examples of where DIY enthusiasts and poorly budgeted, inexperienced individuals fail. This leads to unsafe, unsightly work which is expensive to rectify.
