Sloping lawns and split-level patios are common around Bexleyheath and near Danson Park, and the right staircase makes the whole garden easier to use. We design and build outdoor steps that look like they’ve always belonged—whether you want natural stone treads or crisp brick risers. Every run is set out for comfortable going and consistent riser heights. The result is a safer route between terrace, lawn and side access.
Homeowners across DA5 often have 1930s semis with raised patios, Victorian terraces with narrow side returns, and modern homes needing clean-lined access. We match materials to the property style, from traditional brick steps to contemporary blockwork with smooth coping. Where space is tight, we can introduce quarter-turns or compact spiral staircases. We also plan for prams, pets and day-to-day garden use, not just looks.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage, and agree the best route and step geometry. You’ll receive a clear written quote, material options, and a schedule that fits around access and deliveries. Our builds use proper sub-bases, edge restraint and careful pointing to reduce movement and trip hazards. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, tidy sites, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Bexley we often see mixed ground conditions—clay-heavy soils, tree roots near parkland, and gardens with retaining edges. We design steps with solid foundations and drainage details to suit these conditions and reduce settlement. Access and parking can be tight on residential streets around Bexley High Street and Barnehurst, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. Finishes are chosen to complement local brickwork and period details.

Costs vary with height change, width, materials and any retaining work. As a guide, simple sleeper steps may start from around £900–£2,000. Brick or block steps typically fall between £1,800–£4,500, depending on foundations and finishes. Natural stone steps commonly range from £3,000–£8,000+. Lighting integration, handrails and complex layouts (including spirals) add to the overall budget.
Most straightforward step runs take 2–5 days on site, including excavation, sub-base, building and finishing. Larger staircases with landings, retaining walls or extensive paving tie-ins usually take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, access for materials, curing time for mortar/concrete, and whether we’re integrating lighting or bespoke handrails. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering ground levels significantly, building near boundaries, adding tall balustrades, or working on a listed building or within a conservation area. We’ll ask the right questions at survey stage and can advise on when to check with the London Borough of Bexley or seek formal approval before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our steps and garden staircases, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, poor fixing, or defective installation. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage isn’t altered after installation. We’ll explain care and maintenance, and we’re available to inspect and resolve any concerns promptly.
We build natural stone steps for a premium finish, plus block, brick and sleeper steps to suit different budgets and styles. Designs can include straight flights, quarter-turns, landings, and compact spiral staircases for tight spaces. We can integrate low-glare step lighting, recessed wall lights, and discreet handrails for safety. During the design stage we’ll show samples, recommend slip-resistant finishes, and match detailing to your home and paving.
