Garden Steps in Norbury
Two levels, joined by steps that match.
As local landscapers, we build garden steps across Norbury SW16, in concrete and clad to match the paving around them. In Norbury itself, Katie's garden was dug out and rebuilt as a two-level porcelain patio, with four new concrete steps clad in the same 60x90 porcelain linking the upper and lower terraces.

Steps that belong to the patio
Steps that do not match the paving always look like an afterthought. On Katie's Norbury job we built four steps in concrete first, then clad them in the same 60x90 porcelain used across both terraces, so the two levels read as one design.
The structure underneath is what makes a step safe. Most gardens in Norbury are on clay, so the steps are cast in concrete on firm ground rather than stacked on loose blocks or rubble, which can settle and leave a tread rocking or tilting.
Steps are usually part of a bigger job here, linking a patio by the house to a lawn or a second terrace further down. We plan the rise of each step, the landing at the top and the levels of the paving together, so every step is comfortable and the same height.

Materials & possibilities
Finishing your steps
The concrete core is the same; the cladding is chosen to match the patio around it.
Equal risers and a safe landing
Every step in a flight should rise by the same amount, because an odd step is the one people trip on. We work out the total height between the levels, divide it evenly, and leave a landing big enough to stand on at the top before you step down.

Garden Steps in Norbury: your questions
Still deciding? Tell us about your garden and we can talk through the next step.
Read our warranty termsHow much did Katie's porcelain steps in Norbury cost?
They were part of a £12,000 job including VAT: a full dig-out, around 50m² of 60x90 porcelain on two levels and four concrete steps clad in the same porcelain, done in one week.
Can steps be clad to match my patio?
Yes. We build the steps in concrete and clad them in the same porcelain or stone as the paving, as on Katie's patio in Norbury.
Why build steps in concrete on Norbury clay?
Clay moves with the seasons, and steps laid loose on it can settle unevenly. Concrete on firm ground keeps every tread level and solid.
Can you link two patio levels with steps?
Yes. Katie's garden in Norbury has an upper and a lower porcelain terrace joined by four clad steps.
How long did the Norbury steps and terraces take?
On Katie's job the steps and both terraces were finished in one week. A smaller set of steps on its own is quicker.
Can you put a handrail on garden steps?
Yes. In Streatham we fitted a wooden rail up a long flight of garden steps in one day for just over £1,150.
Do you build steps in Upper Norwood too?
Yes. We cover Norbury and the surrounding area, including Upper Norwood, Thornton Heath, Pollards Hill and Streatham Vale.
