A retaining wall and driveway, put right after a rogue trader

A customer had been let down by a rogue trader and left with a retaining wall and driveway in a poor state. In September 2026 Brick2Brick UK came in to put it right, as far as the budget allowed for now. Block paving is to follow when the customer is ready.

    After

    The retaining wall rebuilt and the driveway put right, as far as the customer could take it for now.

    Due to the money already lost with the previous builder, this is as far as we can take the project for now

What is a retaining wall?

A wall that holds back soil where the ground level changes, such as between a raised garden and a driveway. It has the weight of the earth pushing against it, so it needs proper footings and a wall built for the load. The Planning Portal advises getting expert advice on walls that retain soil.

How can you check a builder before you hire them?

Citizens Advice suggests asking for 2 or 3 recent examples of similar work and contacting those customers, getting a written quote rather than an estimate, checking that the business is genuine, and getting a written contract before work starts.
