Brickwork in Billericay: Local Knowledge
Billericay is a historic market town a few miles east of Hutton, known for its High Street and its links to the Mayflower voyage of 1620. It’s surrounded by green space such as Norsey Wood. Although Billericay is close to Brentwood, it falls within Basildon Borough, so planning and building control questions here go to Basildon Borough Council rather than Brentwood.
Our office in Hutton is around 3 miles from Billericay as the crow flies, so we are close at hand for site visits and while your project is on site. We also work regularly in nearby Stock, Hutton and Mountnessing.
Planning & approvals in Billericay
Billericay is in the CM11 and CM12 postcode area, and planning applications and building control for projects here are handled by Basildon Borough Council. We work alongside you, your architect and the council from the start, so the right approvals are in place before work begins. Essex Highways looks after the roads and footways, which matters for anything that affects the public highway, such as skips, deliveries, drainage connections or a dropped kerb.
Why use a local builder?
Being based in Hutton means we know the ground conditions, councils and suppliers around Billericay. You deal directly with Mark or Tom Boswell, who can visit your property, talk through your plans and give you an honest quotation.
Retaining walls
Retaining Walls in Billericay, Built Properly
Retaining walls hold back a significant weight of soil, so they need to be designed and built correctly. Whether you are levelling a sloping garden, creating terraces, forming a driveway or supporting ground next to a new building, we build retaining walls that are strong, well drained and made to last.
For larger walls we work to a structural engineer’s design, with the right foundations, reinforcement and drainage behind the wall to relieve water pressure — one of the most common reasons retaining walls fail.
Garden & landscaping walls
Brick, block and stone-faced retaining walls to level gardens, create raised beds and terraces, and tidy up changes in level.
Engineered retaining walls
Reinforced walls for driveways, new build plots and larger changes in level, built to a structural engineer’s specification.

FAQs
Brickwork in Billericay: Your Questions
Thinking about brickwork in Billericay? Here are the questions we are asked most often. If yours isn’t here, just give us a call on 01277 210 402.
Do you provide brickwork in Billericay?
Yes. Billericay is one of the areas we cover regularly from our base in Hutton, along with nearby Stock, Hutton and Mountnessing. Call 01277 210 402 to arrange a free site visit and quotation.
Do I need permission for a new wall in Billericay?
Many garden walls don’t need planning permission, but there are height limits, particularly next to a road, and listed buildings or conservation areas have extra controls. If in doubt, check with Basildon Borough Council. We’ll advise at the site visit.
Why do retaining walls fail?
A common reason is water pressure building up behind the wall. We build retaining walls with the right foundations, reinforcement and drainage to relieve that pressure.
Can you match my existing bricks?
Yes. We source bricks and mortar to match your existing home, so new work blends in.
Do you take on small brickwork jobs?
Yes. As well as brickwork for new builds and extensions, we build garden and boundary walls, brick piers, pillars and gate entrances, and feature brickwork.
Do you prepare the foundations?
Yes. Our own groundworks team prepares the foundations and drainage, so every wall starts on a properly built base.
