Catford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council homes often comes with compact gardens and tricky side access. We regularly work in the steps & garden staircases Catford area, including Hither Green and Bellingham, where levels can change quickly between patio, lawn and shed bases. Our designs balance practicality with kerb appeal, especially where front paths or shared boundaries need careful detailing. We also plan for family use, pets and year-round grip.
We start with a site survey, measure levels, and propose a clear step layout with material samples and finish options. Our builds include proper sub-bases, drainage considerations and secure edging so steps stay stable over time. You’ll get a written specification, tidy working practices, and a 10-year workmanship warranty for peace of mind. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, accurate setting-out and a finish that lasts.

Costs depend on the number of steps, width, foundations, and material choice. As a guide, sleeper steps often start around £900–£1,800 for a small run, while brick or block steps commonly fall between £1,500–£3,500. Natural stone steps and premium detailing can be £2,500–£6,000+. Lighting, handrails, and drainage improvements will add to the total.
Most small step installations take 1–3 days, assuming straightforward access and minimal excavation. Larger staircases, multi-level access routes, or jobs needing retaining edges and drainage typically take 4–10 working days. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, curing time for concrete bases, material lead times, and whether we’re integrating lighting or handrails. We confirm a schedule after the site survey and level checks.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development, especially when they’re within your boundary and don’t significantly alter the building’s appearance. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats, or where works affect shared access, boundary walls, or visibility to the highway. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise if you should check with Lewisham Council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our steps and garden staircases. It covers installation quality, including stability, alignment, and fixing methods, provided the steps are used as intended and not altered by others. Material warranties vary by supplier, and we’ll pass on the relevant details for stone, blocks, lighting components, and handrail systems. We also give clear aftercare guidance to keep surfaces safe and clean.
We build natural stone steps for a premium look, plus block steps and brick steps to match existing paths and house brickwork. Sleeper steps are popular for softer, landscaped gardens, and we can also create spiral staircases where space is tight. Options include recessed step lights, low-voltage lighting runs, and discreet handrails. We’ll help you choose proportions, finishes, and edging that suit your garden levels and budget.
