Bermondsey’s mix of riverside courtyards and compact gardens often needs clever level changes. We design and build steps that feel natural to walk, look proportionate, and complement your paving and planting. Whether you’re near Bermondsey Street or walking distance from Tower Bridge, we’ll create access that suits the setting. We also integrate lighting so entrances and terraces stay usable after dark.
Homeowners across SE1 and SE16 ask us to solve tricky height differences between patios, lawns and side returns. Converted warehouses benefit from crisp, contemporary lines in stone or block, while Victorian terraces often suit brick steps that echo original detailing. Modern apartments and communal gardens frequently need durable finishes, consistent riser heights and safe edges. We tailor every staircase to the property’s character and the way you move through the space.
We start with a site survey, accurate level checks and clear design options, then recommend the best construction method for long-term stability. Your steps are built on proper foundations with careful drainage and non-slip considerations, then finished with neat pointing and clean edges. We keep disruption low, plan deliveries around access, and communicate timings clearly. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally for workmanship you can see and a 10-year warranty you can rely on.

Costs depend on height change, width, materials and site access. As a guide, simple sleeper or block steps often start around £900–£2,000. Brick steps with matching details typically fall between £1,500–£3,500. Natural stone steps are commonly £2,500–£6,000+. Larger multi-level builds, lighting integration and handrails can take projects to £5,000–£12,000+.
Most straightforward step installs take 1–3 days once materials are on site. Brick or stone steps with foundations, edging and careful finishing typically take 3–7 days. Multi-level access routes, spiral staircases, lighting cabling or complex drainage can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales vary with curing time, access restrictions, weather, and whether we’re tying into new patios or retaining work.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering a front boundary, adding substantial structures, or affecting shared access in blocks. We’ll flag potential issues during the survey and can advise on whether you should check with the London Borough of Southwark. We also consider drainage and safety requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our steps and garden staircases, covering issues such as movement caused by incorrect installation, poor sub-base preparation, or faulty construction. It’s designed to give peace of mind on structural integrity and finish. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered. We’ll explain care and maintenance so your steps keep looking their best.
We offer natural stone steps for a premium look, plus block steps for crisp contemporary lines and excellent durability. Brick steps work brilliantly for Victorian terraces, while sleeper steps suit relaxed, garden-led designs. For tight footprints, we can design spiral staircases where appropriate, and we often add lighting integration and handrails for safety. We’ll guide you on proportions, finishes and anti-slip detailing to match your space.
