Wall installation - How it works
Consultation & design
We begin with a consultation to understand your needs and preferences. During this stage, we’ll assess the site, discuss the type of wall, and finalise the design and materials to suit your property.
Site preparation
The installation site is cleared of any obstructions, and the ground is levelled and excavated to create a solid foundation for the wall. Proper groundwork ensures stability and prevents future movement.
Laying the foundation
A strong foundation is essential for a stable wall. Depending on the wall type, we lay a concrete or reinforced foundation to support the structure, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Wall construction
The selected wall materials—brick, stone, concrete blocks, or others—are carefully laid according to the design. This stage includes building the wall to the desired height, ensuring precision and structural integrity.
Edging and detailing
For walls that require edging or decorative features, such as coping stones or special finishes, these are added during this phase to enhance the wall’s appearance and function.
Final touches and sealing
Once the wall is built, we apply any necessary finishing touches, such as rendering, painting, or sealing, depending on the material used. This ensures the wall is protected from the elements and looks great.
