Trusted Retaining Wall Contractors in Clitheroe

Creating a 'cheek end' in Billington, Whalley in The Ribble Valley, Lancashire. A solid wall end requires skill and experience to achieve. Having the right stone also helps, otherwise a lot of hammer and bolster work is required to get the right aesthetic and make the structure sound. Th wall end gives a good visual for the taper or 'batter' of a dry stone wall, which would normally not be so obvious on a linear stretch of wall. The batter is an aspect of walling used for centuries or even millennia to ensure the wall stays upright and settles inwards. This makes the wall tighter over time. After decades the wall will have shrunk in on itself and become very stable. Enough so to contain large cattle.
