Customer feedback
What Our Clients Say
Feedback from homeowners who chose KJL Builders for their garden wall, retaining wall or boundary wall.
★★★★★
KJL Builders built a new retaining wall in our sloped back garden and it's completely transformed the space. The brickwork is excellent and the drainage has been well thought out.
★★★★★
We had a curved boundary wall built along our driveway and the finish is fantastic. The team were tidy, professional and the wall matches the house perfectly.
★★★★★
Our old garden wall was collapsing and KJL Builders rebuilt it properly with new foundations. It looks better than it ever did and should last for decades.

Most garden walls fall under permitted development, but a front boundary wall over 1m high, or a wall over 2m high elsewhere, will usually need planning permission. We can advise on this for your specific property.
Larger or structural retaining walls can require building control approval, particularly where they support a significant amount of ground or sit near a boundary. We handle this for you and can bring in a structural engineer where needed.
A boundary wall simply marks the edge of a garden and carries no load. A retaining wall holds back soil on a sloped site, so it needs proper foundations, structural design and drainage to work safely.
Yes. We regularly repair leaning or damaged garden walls and rebuild collapsed walls, matching the existing brickwork wherever possible.
A typical boundary wall takes a few days to a week, while larger retaining wall projects can take 1–2 weeks or more depending on length, height and groundworks required.
We don't take any payment until the wall foundations have been dug and, where building control sign-off is required, the work has been inspected and passed. You'll receive a clear, staged payment schedule for the rest of the work.
