Sloping lawns and split-level patios are common around BR1 and BR2, and well-built steps make the whole garden easier to use. Whether you’re walking down to a terrace, a side return, or a lawn, we create strong, even risers and comfortable treads that feel natural underfoot. We regularly work near Bromley South station and around Queens Gardens, where access routes often need a tidy, premium finish. Every set is set out carefully to suit your levels and the way you move through the space.
The London Borough of Bromley has a mix of large detached houses, Victorian villas and newer developments, so one design never fits all. In Shortlands and Bickley we often match period brickwork and traditional detailing, while modern homes benefit from crisp natural stone or block steps with clean lines. For family gardens in Bromley Common, we prioritise wide, practical steps that cope with prams, bikes and muddy boots. Our recommendations consider drainage, existing paving, and how the steps will look from key viewpoints.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, discuss materials, and agree the safest route through the garden. Your steps are built on a solid sub-base with proper edge restraint, accurate falls and neat jointing, then finished with optional lighting integration and handrails where needed. We keep disruption low with clear scheduling and tidy working practices, and we explain maintenance so the finish stays sharp. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Bromley gardens often sit on gentle slopes with clay-heavy ground, so we build stable foundations and allow for seasonal movement. Parking and access can be tighter near The Glades Shopping Centre and busier routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary walls, mature planting and existing patios, which are common in older plots around Shortlands and Plaistow. The result is garden steps bromley area homeowners can use confidently in all weathers.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most projects in Bromley fall between £800 and £3,500 depending on the number of steps, groundworks and finish. As a guide, budget around £150–£400 per step for supply and installation. Natural stone and lighting integration tend to sit at the higher end, while simple sleeper or block steps can be more cost-effective. Site access, spoil removal and handrails also influence the final figure.
Typical installations take 2–4 days, covering excavation, base preparation, building and finishing. The timescale depends on how many steps are needed, whether we’re tying into existing paving, and if the ground requires extra stabilisation. Natural stone steps can take longer due to cutting and setting, and adding lighting or handrails adds time for safe cabling and fixings. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site survey.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t require planning permission, especially when they’re part of typical landscaping works. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the works involve significant changes to levels near boundaries. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on checking with the London Borough of Bromley before work starts.
Yes. Our garden step installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including stability, alignment and structural integrity of the build. It also covers issues arising from incorrect base preparation or installation methods. Normal wear, accidental damage, and lack of maintenance (such as letting joints fail or drainage become blocked) aren’t included. We’ll provide care guidance so your steps stay safe and looking their best.
We install natural stone steps for a premium, timeless look, plus block steps for clean, modern lines, and brick steps to match period homes. Sleeper steps are popular for rustic gardens and raised beds, and we can integrate low-glare lighting for safer evenings. Handrails can be added where there’s a steeper run or for extra reassurance. We’ll help you choose based on style, budget, slip resistance and how the steps connect to your patio or paths.
