Chiswick gardens often include subtle changes in level, especially around terraces and rear lawns near Chiswick High Road and the riverside. We design and build steps that make those transitions comfortable and secure, while enhancing the look of your outdoor space. Whether you want a simple run of sleeper steps or a statement stone staircase, we tailor the layout to your site. We also integrate lighting to improve safety after dark.
Our team regularly works across W4, including links to Hammersmith, Acton and Kew, so we understand the expectations of local homeowners. Georgian houses, Victorian villas and Edwardian family homes benefit from steps that respect original proportions and materials. We can match brick tones, choose sympathetic stone, and keep detailing crisp for heritage-style façades. For contemporary refurbishments, clean-lined block steps and subtle LED riser lighting are popular.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage falls and discuss how you use the garden day to day. You’ll receive a clear specification covering materials, edging, foundations, and any handrails or lighting integration. Our builds prioritise stability, consistent riser heights and non-slip finishes, with tidy workmanship throughout. Local clients trust us for reliable scheduling, transparent communication and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
In the steps & garden staircases chiswick area, access can be tight and parking needs planning, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many gardens sit on made ground with older patios, so we assess what can be retained and what needs rebuilding for stability. We also consider drainage and run-off so water doesn’t pool on treads or against walls. If your property is near Chiswick House, we’ll keep designs sympathetic to traditional settings and boundary constraints.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with width, number of risers, materials and access. As a guide, simple sleeper steps often start around £900–£1,800. Brick or block steps typically range from £1,800–£4,500 depending on foundations and detailing. Natural stone steps are commonly £3,000–£8,000+, especially with copings and landings. Handrails and lighting integration usually add £300–£2,000 based on specification.
Most small step sets take 1–3 days, while larger staircases with landings, retaining edges or lighting usually take 4–10 working days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for concrete bases, and whether we’re tying into existing patios or walls. Restricted access in W4 can slow material handling, and wet weather may affect groundworks. We provide a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t require planning permission, especially when they sit within the rear garden and don’t significantly alter boundaries. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, if the works affect a listed building, or if you’re adding prominent railings or structures to the front. We’ll flag likely issues early and can advise on checking with the London Borough of Hounslow where needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on steps and garden staircases, covering installation quality such as bedding, alignment, stability and jointing. This includes issues like rocking treads, failed pointing due to poor preparation, or movement caused by inadequate sub-bases. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage and surrounding ground levels aren’t later altered without advice.
We build natural stone steps (sandstone, limestone, granite), block steps with paving to match patios, traditional brick steps, and sleeper steps for a softer, garden-led look. For tighter footprints, we can design compact layouts or spiral staircases where suitable. Options include bullnose edges, contrasting risers, anti-slip finishes, and discreet LED lighting. We guide you through samples and proportions so the design suits your home and garden levels.
