Bromley gardens often sit on changes in level, from front paths to raised patios and terraced lawns. We create steps and garden staircases that look right with your landscape and feel secure underfoot in all weather. Whether you’re near Bromley South station or visiting The Glades Shopping Centre, our team is only around 20 minutes away. Every staircase is set out for comfortable risers, tidy edges and long-term stability.
Across BR1 and BR2 you’ll see large detached houses, Victorian villas and modern developments—each needing a different approach to scale and detailing. In Shortlands and Bickley, we often match existing brickwork and period features with sympathetic step profiles and copings. In newer homes around Bromley Common and Plaistow, clean block steps or contemporary stone treads can sharpen the look of a garden redesign. We’ll help you choose materials that complement your property and withstand heavy use.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure levels, drainage routes and access for materials. We then provide a clear design proposal covering layout, finishes, edging, lighting integration and handrails where needed. Sub-bases are built properly, with careful compaction and robust bedding to reduce movement and rocking. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat working practices and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
The London Borough of Bromley includes sloping plots and mixed ground conditions, so we tailor foundations and drainage to suit each site. Parking and access can be tight near Queens Gardens and around commuter routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. We also design with property character in mind, from Victorian villas to modern developments. If council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the build compliant.

Costs vary by height change, width, materials and groundwork. As a guide, simple sleeper steps often start around £1,200–£2,500, while brick or block steps commonly fall between £2,000–£5,000. Natural stone steps and larger multi-level staircases are typically £4,000–£12,000+. Add-ons like lighting integration, handrails and drainage can increase the budget, especially on steep or restricted sites.
Most small step runs take 2–4 days from excavation to finishing, depending on curing times and access. Medium staircases with landings, edging and drainage are usually 1–2 weeks. Larger schemes—such as multi-level access with retaining edges, lighting and handrails—can take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, weather, material lead times and whether we’re tying into patios or pathways.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially when they’re within your boundary and not creating a raised platform close to neighbours. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, significant level changes, or structures near highways. We’ll advise during the survey and, if needed, help you understand any London Borough of Bromley requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation integrity, including sub-base preparation, bedding and structural stability of the steps we build. This helps protect you against issues such as movement caused by poor construction. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by external factors like tree roots, flooding or third-party alterations. We’ll also share care guidance for your chosen materials.
We build natural stone steps (sandstone, granite, limestone), block steps with crisp copings, traditional brick steps to match period homes, and sleeper steps for a warm, rustic look. For tighter footprints, we can design spiral staircases where suitable. Many clients add lighting integration for safer evenings and discreet handrails for extra support. We’ll recommend the best option based on levels, drainage, style and budget.
