From Purley Cross to Riddlesdown, many gardens here sit on changing levels that need confident, comfortable access. We design and build steps that suit the layout of your paths, patios and lawns, improving safety in wet weather. Whether you want a subtle run of brick steps or a statement natural stone flight, we tailor the finish to your home. Work is planned to keep disruption low and entrances usable.
Purley’s large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes often benefit from steps that match existing brickwork, stone detailing and garden walls. In Purley Oaks and Kenley, we regularly connect raised patios to lawns, or create practical side access steps. We also build compact step runs for narrower side returns and terraced levels. Every design balances proportion, drainage and day-to-day use.
We start with a site survey, measure risers and treads to comfortable UK standards, then propose materials and edging options. Our team excavates, builds a solid sub-base, and installs each step with careful alignment and consistent joints. We can integrate low-glare lighting and sturdy handrails for added confidence after dark. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, clear communication and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Working across the London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to Purley’s sloping plots near the North Downs and the access challenges of larger front drives. We plan deliveries and parking around residential streets and keep pathways protected. Ground conditions can vary, so we build robust foundations and manage water run-off carefully. If your property sits within CR8, we’ll also advise on finishes that suit the streetscape.

For garden steps in the Purley area, most homeowners budget £150–£400 per step depending on material, width and groundwork. Typical total project costs often fall between £800 and £3,500 for a small to medium run including excavation, sub-base and installation. Natural stone and lighting integration usually sit at the higher end, while simple brick or block steps can be more cost-effective.
Most garden steps in London Borough of Croydon take around 2–4 days to complete, depending on the number of steps and site access. Time can increase if we’re removing old steps, dealing with poor ground, or integrating lighting and handrails. Weather can also affect curing and finishing. We’ll confirm the schedule after the survey and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and won’t need planning permission, especially when they’re within your garden and don’t significantly alter boundaries. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering a front garden next to a highway, or working near listed features. We’ll flag any likely issues, check practical constraints, and advise if you should confirm details with Croydon Council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate foundations, poor fixing, or incorrect bedding. It’s designed to give peace of mind that your steps remain stable, level and safe. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or normal wear to surface finishes. We’ll also explain any manufacturer guarantees on materials we supply.
We build natural stone steps for a premium look, plus block steps, brick steps and sleeper steps for different styles and budgets. Many Purley homeowners choose stone to complement period details, or brick to match 1930s façades. We can add step lights, recessed riser lighting, and discreet handrails where needed. We’ll help you choose tread depth, edging and finishes that suit your paths, patios and planting.
