When a vehicle collision or structural failure damages a roadside boundary wall, restoring both its structural strength and original character takes precise craftsmanship. We recently completed this curved decorative boundary wall rebuild on the corner of Kirkwhite Avenue in Long Eaton.
Project Overview
- Location: Kirkwhite Avenue, Long Eaton
- Type: Structural Rebuild & Decorative Brickwork
- Materials Used: Forterra Hampton Rural Blend bricks paired with existing blue engineering plinth bricks
- Funding: Insurance-approved claim (settled and funded upfront)
Preserving Character with Detailed Brickwork
Curved walls require meticulous setting out and constant checking to keep the radius, joint sizes, and levels consistent throughout.
For this project, we tied into the existing dark engineering plinth courses at ground level to keep the authentic base profile, then rebuilt the curved main structure using Forterra Hampton Rural Blend bricks. These bricks provide a warm, textured finish that complements the surrounding streetscape.
Key masonry features included:
- Curved Radius Laying: Smooth sweeping face across the corner plot.
- Dentil / Stepped Detailing: Replicating the projecting brick detail below the copings to maintain traditional kerb appeal.
- Central Raised Pier & Copings: Framing the panels cleanly while tying securely into the neighbouring boundary walls.
Hassle-Free Insurance Repair Work
If your garden wall, pillar, or boundary has been struck by a vehicle or damaged, navigating insurance quotes can often feel overwhelming.
For this property, we provided a clear, itemised specification that the insurance provider approved without delay. Full payment was settled upfront prior to starting on-site, allowing us to source materials quickly, stick to our schedule, and deliver a smooth, stress-free handover to the homeowner. We received the following review “Had a delivery van smash into my front wall which cause quite a mess. Searched for some quotes and Rob was really efficient with quoting and dealing with it due to the fact it was an insurance job. We had David and Matt come round and rebuild it to what it looked like before but even better. Really happy with the work and overall professionalism and quality of the work. Would recommend in a heartbeat.”
