Sloping lawns and raised patios are common around Tooting Bec and Tooting Broadway, and well-built steps make the space far more practical. We design and install garden steps that feel solid underfoot, look right with period brickwork, and drain properly in wet weather. Whether you want a simple run to the lawn or a feature set leading to a terrace, we tailor the finish to your garden. We’re also used to working near busy spots like Tooting Broadway station where access needs planning.
Tooting’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have narrow side returns and compact rear gardens. That means step geometry, landings and handrails need careful thought to keep routes comfortable without stealing space. We match materials to existing paths, patios and boundary walls so the new steps don’t look ‘added on’. If you’re in Furzedown or Tooting Graveney, we can also help connect different levels created by extensions and raised decking.
We start with a site measure, levels check and a clear design proposal, then prepare a stable sub-base and solid foundations before laying each tread. Every build includes tidy edge restraints, consistent risers and proper falls for drainage, with options for lighting integration and discreet handrails. Our team turns up when promised, protects planting and surfaces, and keeps neighbours informed about deliveries. Homeowners choose us because the finish stays true and the steps stay safe year after year.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, many SW17 gardens sit on mixed made ground and clay, so we prioritise sub-base depth, drainage and robust edging. Access can be tight behind Victorian terraces, so we plan material deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where parking is restricted near Tooting Market and busier roads, we schedule drop-offs and keep the site compact. The result is a step run that suits local property styles and stands up to heavy use.

For garden steps in the Tooting area, budgets typically fall between £800 and £3,500 depending on the number of steps, materials and site access. As a guide, expect around £150–£400 per step for supply and installation. Natural stone and integrated lighting sit towards the higher end, while brick or block steps can be more cost-effective. Groundworks, drainage and handrails can also affect the total.
Most installations take 2–4 days, including setting out levels, ground preparation, building the sub-base and laying the steps. Smaller runs with straightforward access can be quicker, while larger schemes take longer if we’re adding landings, retaining edges, lighting integration or handrails. Weather can slow curing times, and restricted access in SW17 terraces may require more manual handling. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts.
Garden steps are usually permitted development, particularly when they’re within the garden and don’t create major changes to ground levels at boundaries. However, rules can vary if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the works affect a front garden or shared access. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can advise on checking with the London Borough of Wandsworth where needed. Our aim is a compliant build with no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our garden step installations. This covers issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, loose units, and defects in the way the steps are constructed. Normal wear, accidental damage and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise. We also use quality materials and proven laying methods to reduce future maintenance.
We install natural stone steps for a premium look, as well as block steps, brick steps and sleeper steps for different styles and budgets. Popular choices in Tooting include brick to complement Victorian terraces, or stone treads to match patio paving. We can add lighting integration for safer evening use and fit handrails where gradients are steeper. We’ll help you choose tread depth, riser height and finishes that suit your garden and how you use it.
