A few weeks back we did a job for a customer in North London. They had an old wall in their back garden which was in bad shape. Initially we proceeded to: Remove old fence in the back garden. Got rid of all the old wall and disposed of the old bricks. During the process of removing the old bricks we ensured that we keep all the bricks that we could to reuse in building the new brick wall. Dug up new foundations for a new brick wall. Built new brick wall in the same place as the old one with reclaimed bricks. Fitted new fence and new trellis at the top. Got rid of all the rubbish
