Sloping lawns, raised patios and split-level plots are common around BR3, and well-built steps make everyday use far easier. Our team designs and installs garden steps that look right with your home and feel solid underfoot. Whether you’re improving access from the house to the lawn or creating a route down the garden, we’ll set out levels carefully for comfort and safety. We regularly work near Kelsey Park and Beckenham Junction station, so we understand local access and site constraints.
Beckenham’s Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and period conversions often come with mature gardens, existing walls and older paving that needs sympathetic detailing. We match materials and proportions so new steps don’t look “bolted on”. In Eden Park and Elmers End, we frequently create steps that link patios to lawns, side returns, and rear garden rooms. Where space is tight, we can adjust tread depth, add landings, and integrate discreet edging for a clean finish.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage, and agree the safest route and step geometry. Your steps are then built on a proper sub-base with accurate falls, crisp lines and secure edging, followed by a full tidy-up and handover. We keep you informed throughout the 2–4 day build, and we only use proven installation methods for long-term stability. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship, and a finish that lasts.
Many Beckenham gardens sit on gentle slopes with clay-heavy ground that can move if bases aren’t prepared properly. We build robust foundations, manage runoff, and detail edges to prevent spreading and rocking over time. Access and parking can be limited around Clock House and New Beckenham, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary walls, mature planting and existing paving typical of Bromley period homes.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For garden steps in the Beckenham area, budgets typically fall between £800 and £3,500 depending on the number of steps, width, landings and materials. As a guide, expect around £150–£400 per step for supply and installation. Natural stone and lighting integration usually sit at the higher end, while straightforward block or brick steps can be more cost-effective. We’ll confirm costs after checking levels, access and ground conditions.
Most installations take 2–4 days, depending on excavation depth, the number of steps, and whether we’re adding landings, walls, lighting or handrails. Ground conditions and access also matter, especially where barrowing distances are long or waste removal is restricted. We allow time for accurate setting-out and a solid sub-base, as that’s what prevents movement later. You’ll get a clear schedule before work starts.
Garden steps are usually permitted development, particularly when they’re part of normal landscaping and don’t significantly alter highway access. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the work includes substantial raised platforms, retaining structures, or affects shared boundaries. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can help you understand Bromley Council requirements before you commit to the build.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, loose edging, or settlement linked to the build. It’s designed to give you confidence that the steps will remain stable and safe with normal use. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations or severe ground movement beyond the installation area.
We install natural stone steps for a premium look, plus brick, block and sleeper steps to suit different budgets and styles. Popular options include wide treads for family gardens, split flights with a landing, and contrasting edging to define each step. We can also integrate low-glare step lighting and fit handrails where extra support is needed. We’ll recommend the best layout after measuring levels and viewing surrounding paving and walls.
