A boundary wall protects your property, marks the line with your neighbour and sets the look of the whole street frontage. Elite Home Finishes builds new cement and brick boundary walls and repairs existing ones across East London and the surrounding towns: footings, brick or block, plaster, capping and paint, with gate pillars where a gate is going in.
A wall is only as good as what is under it. We start with the footing and the line of the wall: measured and set out on the site, so the wall sits where it should, level and plumb. Brick or block is then laid to the height you want, with the plaster, capping and paint finished to match the house.
Many walls we are asked to look at already exist: cracked after settlement, leaning, bulging, or stained by damp. Before quoting a repair we look for the cause, because patching a crack without fixing why it opened only hides the problem for a season. Where a section is beyond repair we say so and quote taking it down and rebuilding it.
Walls and gates belong together. We build gate pillars into the wall and can fit a steel gate to them, so the wall and the gate are one job on one quote. Our walls are cement and brick. Height, position on the boundary and neighbours' agreement can be subject to municipal rules, and we tell you what applies to your site before work begins.

Planning Your Project
What Affects Cost & Timeline
We go through each of these at the free site visit, so the quote reflects your actual job.
- Height and position — how tall the wall may be and how close it sits to the boundary can be subject to municipal rules.
- Neighbours — a wall on a shared boundary line is best agreed with the neighbour before work starts.
- Ground — sloping or soft ground changes the footing and may need extra stepping or support.
- Existing damage — cracks and leaning have a cause, and it is worth finding before repairing.
- Finish — a wall that matches the house in plaster and paint reads as part of the property, not an add-on.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the length and height of the wall, the ground it is going on, whether it is brick or block, the footing it needs and the plaster and paint finish. We measure on site and give a written, itemised quote so you can see where the money goes.
Answer 01
How much does a boundary wall cost in East London?
It depends on the length and height of the wall, the ground it is going on, whether it is brick or block, the footing it needs and the plaster and paint finish. We measure on site and give a written, itemised quote so you can see where the money goes.
Answer 02
Do I need approval to build a boundary wall?
Often it depends on the height, how close the wall sits to the boundary and the rules of your municipality or estate. We tell you what is likely to apply to your site before you commit, rather than leaving you to find out afterwards.
Answer 03
Can you repair a cracked or leaning boundary wall?
Yes. We first look for the cause, such as footing movement, damp or tree roots, because repairing a crack without fixing the cause means it comes back. If a section is beyond repair we quote taking it down and rebuilding it.
Answer 04
Do you plaster and paint the wall as well?
Yes. We can plaster, fit capping and paint the wall so it matches your house, as part of the same quote as the building work.
Answer 05
Can you build the gate pillars and fit the gate?
Yes. We build gate pillars into the wall and can fit a steel gate to them, so the wall and the gate are one job.
Answer 06
Is the quote free?
Yes. The site visit and written, itemised quote are free in East London suburbs, with no obligation.
