Uneven lawns, raised patios and sloping front gardens are common in SM6, and well-built steps make them far easier to use year-round. We design and install garden steps that look right with your home and feel solid underfoot in wet weather. Whether you’re near Wallington Square or walking distance to Beddington Park, we’ll match materials and detailing to the setting. Expect crisp lines, tidy edges and a finish that lifts the whole garden.
Wallington’s mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and modern developments often brings different levels between house, patio and lawn. We regularly build steps for front paths, side returns and terraced back gardens, keeping proportions comfortable for families and visitors. For period homes, brick and stone detailing can blend neatly with existing walls. For newer builds, clean block steps and subtle lighting integration can create a contemporary look without fuss.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you’ll use the route day to day. Your steps are built on a proper sub-base with accurate risers and treads, then finished with edging, pointing and optional handrails or lighting. We keep disruption low, protect nearby surfaces and leave the site clean. Local homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Access can be tight around Victorian terraces and some 1930s semis in Beddington and Hackbridge, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also factor in typical Sutton ground conditions, drainage routes and existing patio falls to reduce pooling on treads. Where parking is restricted near Wallington station, we schedule drop-offs to minimise disruption. If your boundary walls or front paths are close to the work area, we use compact methods to keep everything tidy and protected.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most projects in the Wallington area 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. Natural stone, curved layouts, lighting integration and handrails tend to sit at the higher end, while straightforward block or brick steps are often more cost-effective. We’ll confirm a clear written price after measuring levels and finishes.
Garden steps are typically completed in 2–4 days, depending on how many steps are needed and whether we’re also adjusting levels, edging or drainage. Simple replacements can be quicker, while new steps on a slope may take longer due to excavation, sub-base installation and curing time for mortar or bedding layers. Access, waste removal and any lighting or handrail fitting can also affect the schedule.
In most cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t require planning permission, especially when they’re within your property and not creating major changes to ground levels. However, rules can vary if you’re in a conservation area, affecting a public highway, or altering boundary walls and railings. We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and can advise on Sutton-specific considerations before work starts.
Yes. Our garden step installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including sub-base preparation, stability and correct installation of treads and risers. It’s designed to give you confidence that the steps won’t loosen or fail due to poor construction. Normal wear, accidental damage, and issues caused by third-party alterations aren’t included, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise if you notice movement or cracking.
We install natural stone steps for a premium look, plus block steps, brick steps and sleeper steps to suit different budgets and styles. Many homeowners choose lighting integration for safer evening use, and we can add discreet handrails where extra support is needed. We’ll help you select finishes that match existing paving and brickwork, then set comfortable step proportions based on your garden levels and how the route is used.
