West Wickham gardens often have gentle slopes or split levels, especially around Sparrows Den and the roads leading off West Wickham High Street. We build steps that feel like a natural part of the landscape, improving access from patio to lawn, side return to rear garden, or down to a lower terrace. Every set is set out for comfortable rise and going, with crisp lines and tidy edging. If you’re in BR4 and want a premium finish, we’ll tailor the design to your space.
Many homes locally are 1930s semis and detached houses with long rear gardens, plus newer developments that need clean, modern detailing. We regularly install garden steps West Wickham area homeowners choose for practical routes—bins, bikes, and family use—without compromising kerb appeal. From traditional brickwork that matches existing walls to contemporary natural stone that elevates a modern patio, we make the new work sit comfortably with the property. We also factor in boundaries, side access widths and existing drainage runs before we start.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure levels, confirm safe step proportions and agree finishes. We prepare a solid sub-base, install robust foundations where needed, and build each tread and riser for long-term stability. Lighting integration and handrails are planned early, so cabling and fixings are concealed and neat. Homeowners trust us for clear scheduling, clean working practices, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, soil conditions and garden gradients can vary street to street, so we assess ground stability before setting foundations. Parking and access can be tighter near busier routes by West Wickham High Street, so deliveries and waste removal are planned to minimise disruption. We’re used to working with 1930s plots with side passages, as well as newer gardens where drainage falls must be maintained. The result is steps that look right and perform well year-round.

For Garden Steps in West Wickham, most homeowners budget £800–£3,500 depending on the number of steps, materials and site preparation. As a guide, pricing is typically £150–£400 per step, with natural stone and integrated lighting at the higher end. Costs also change with excavation depth, retaining edges, handrails, and whether we’re tying into an existing patio or pathway.
Most installations take 2–4 days, covering excavation, sub-base, building the steps and finishing details. Simple sleeper or block steps with straightforward access can be quicker, while natural stone, lighting integration, or complex level changes can extend the programme. Weather, curing time for mortar, and any hidden issues (like soft ground or old rubble) can also affect timescales. We confirm a realistic schedule after surveying.
Garden steps are usually permitted development, particularly when they’re within the garden and don’t create major changes to boundary walls or public-facing structures. However, rules can differ if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the works alter drainage or involve significant retaining walls. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and can help you check any Bromley-specific constraints before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our garden steps, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate installation, loose treads, or failing joints where these result from our build. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. To keep everything performing well, we’ll explain aftercare for your chosen finish, including cleaning advice for stone and seasonal checks for lighting.
We install natural stone steps for a premium look, plus block steps, brick steps and sleeper steps to suit different styles and budgets. Popular options include matching brick to existing housework, stone treads with contrasting risers, and integrated step lighting for safer access after dark. Handrails can be added where needed, especially for steeper routes. We’ll recommend proportions, finishes and edging details that suit your garden layout.
