Brixton gardens often have changes in level, from raised patios to basement lightwells and sloping rear plots. We design and build steps, landings and garden staircases that look right for the setting and work in all seasons. Whether you’re near Brixton Market or walking distance from Windrush Square, we’ll create access that’s comfortable underfoot and easy to maintain. Lighting and handrails can be integrated for confident use after dark.
Our team works across SW2 and SW9, where Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and newer developments sit side by side. Period properties around Herne Hill and Stockwell often need stair detailing that complements brickwork, iron railings and traditional paving. Modern schemes may suit crisp block steps, porcelain landings or minimalist handrails. We tailor riser heights, tread depths and widths to your household, including children, pets and visiting guests.
We start with a site survey, levels check and design options, then provide a clear written specification. Groundworks are handled properly: compacted sub-bases, drainage considerations and secure edge restraints to prevent movement. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact, tidy working practices, and a finish that’s checked for alignment, stability and slip resistance. Fine Landscaping is based 20 minutes away, so support and follow-ups are straightforward.
In the steps & garden staircases brixton area, we often find tight side returns, narrow access routes and limited on-street parking, so deliveries and waste removal are planned carefully. Lambeth property plots can sit on mixed ground and made-up garden levels, so we prioritise stable sub-bases and retaining edges where needed. We also design around basement entrances and raised patios common to terraces in Brixton Hill and Tulse Hill. If any works sit close to boundaries or shared paths, we’ll advise on practical neighbour-friendly solutions.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with height change, width, materials and whether you need retaining edges, drainage or lighting. As a guide, simple sleeper steps might start around £900–£1,800, while brick or block steps are often £1,500–£3,500. Natural stone steps commonly range from £2,500–£6,000+. Larger multi-flight staircases with landings, handrails and lighting can be £6,000–£15,000+.
Most small step installations take 1–3 days once materials are on site. A typical run of brick, block or stone steps with a landing is often 3–7 days, depending on excavation and curing times. More complex work—multi-level access, spiral staircases, lighting integration or extensive groundwork—may take 1–3 weeks. Access constraints, weather, drainage requirements and bespoke stone cutting can extend timelines.
Many garden steps are permitted development, especially when they’re part of landscaping and don’t significantly alter the building. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, front garden works, high boundary treatments, or structures near highways and shared access routes. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can help you check Lambeth guidance. If permission or building control input is needed, we’ll advise before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our steps and garden staircases, covering issues caused by installation such as movement from inadequate base preparation or poor fixing. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, certain lighting components or specific paving products). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also give care guidance to keep surfaces safe and looking their best.
We offer natural stone steps for a premium finish, plus block steps and brick steps to match period terraces. Sleeper steps suit informal gardens and can be paired with gravel or planting. For tight footprints, we can design spiral staircases, and we regularly add lighting integration and handrails for safety. We’ll help you choose tread sizes, edging details and colours that work with your paving, walls and planting scheme, then provide a clear layout before building.
