Looking for brickwork in Farnham Common? J.C General Builders is a family-run father-and-son team — James and Callum Weir — covering Farnham Common and the rest of Buckinghamshire. The people who quote your job are the people who turn up and do it.
Brickwork is where a builder's standards show. Consistent perp joints, a clean strike, a course line you can sight down — it either looks right or it doesn't, and it can't be hidden afterwards.
We lay garden and boundary walls, structural and retaining walls, piers and gate posts, curved and decorative feature panels, and we repoint and repair failing older work with mortar matched to the original.
The work here is a real mix: garden walls and patios in Wendover and Great Missenden, rear extensions and knock-throughs in High Wycombe and Milton Keynes, drainage and hardstanding on rural plots out towards Waddesdon and Winslow. Chalk and clay ground means we pay proper attention to foundations and soakaways rather than guessing.

All our services in Farnham Common →Our process on every Farnham Common job.
Design and brick match
We work out heights, bond and coping with you, and source brick that matches the property rather than fighting it.
Footings
Proper concrete footings dug to depth for the ground conditions — the part nobody sees and everybody's wall depends on.
Laying
Set out, lined and levelled, with movement joints and weep holes where they're needed.
Pointing and clean down
Struck to the finish you chose, cleaned off and the site swept before we leave.
Brickwork in Farnham Common — common questions
- How high can a garden wall be without planning permission?
- Generally up to 2m, or 1m where it fronts a highway — but always worth checking with your council for your specific property.
- Can you match the brick on my old house?
- Usually yes. We source reclaimed or closely matched stock and match the mortar colour and joint profile too, which matters just as much.
- Do retaining walls need anything special?
- Yes — proper footings, reinforcement and drainage behind the wall. A retaining wall built like a garden wall will fail, and we won't build one that way.
