Uneven lawns and sloping plots are common around SW19, especially near Wandle Park and the River Wandle paths. Our steps create a comfortable route from patio to lawn, side return to garden, or front path to door. Each build is set out for consistent risers, secure landings and tidy edges. The result is a feature that improves access and adds value.
Colliers Wood homes range from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis, plus modern apartments close to the Tandem Centre. We design step runs that suit narrow side passages, shared access routes and compact rear gardens. Where older properties have tired brickwork or mismatched paving, we can blend new steps with existing materials. For newer builds, we match clean lines and contemporary finishes.
We start with a site visit, measure levels, and recommend the right rise/run and drainage approach. Steps are built on a proper sub-base with solid foundations, then pointed and finished for long-term stability. We keep disruption low, protect existing paving and planting, and leave the site clean. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, neat workmanship and a 10-year warranty.

For garden steps in London Borough of Merton, most projects fall between £800 and £3,500 depending on the number of steps, materials and site access. As a guide, allow around £150–£400 per step for supply and installation. Natural stone and integrated lighting sit at the higher end, while brick or block steps can be more cost-effective. A site visit helps confirm levels, drainage and finishes.
Most step installations take 2–4 days, covering excavation, sub-base, building the steps and finishing details. Timescales depend on the number of steps, whether we’re tying into existing patios, and if lighting or handrails are included. Poor access through side passages, removal of old concrete, or additional drainage can add time. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
