Uneven lawns, raised patios and sloping plots are common around SW19, especially near Wandle Park and the River Wandle walks. We design and build steps that feel natural in the space, whether you need a short run from the back door or a full multi-level route through the garden. From crisp block steps to characterful brickwork, every tread and riser is set out for comfortable stride and secure footing. The result is access that looks intentional, not like an afterthought.
Our team works daily across the steps & garden staircases Colliers Wood area, including South Wimbledon and Mitcham. Victorian terraces often need compact, well-proportioned steps for narrow side returns and small patios. 1930s semis typically benefit from wider landings and gentle transitions to lawns. Modern apartments and new-build blocks near the Tandem Centre frequently require neat communal access details, robust edging and discreet lighting.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you’ll use the route in all seasons. You’ll receive a clear specification for materials, foundations and finishes, plus options for handrails and lighting integration. Our builds are tidy, carefully scheduled and completed to a high standard, with proper sub-bases and fixings to prevent movement. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, skilled workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
Across the steps & garden staircases in London Borough of Merton, we often encounter mixed ground and moisture near the River Wandle corridor, so we prioritise strong foundations and good drainage falls. Colliers Wood streets can have tight access and controlled parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also match detailing to local property styles, from Victorian brickwork to 1930s garden layouts. Where boundaries are close, we design slimmer profiles without compromising safety.

Costs vary with height, width, materials and access. As a guide, simple sleeper or block steps might start around £900–£1,800 for a short run. Brick or natural stone steps commonly fall between £1,800–£4,500 depending on foundations and edging. Larger multi-level staircases with landings, lighting integration and handrails can be £4,500–£12,000+. We’ll confirm a tailored range after measuring levels on site.
Most small step installations take 1–3 days once materials are on site. Medium projects with a landing, retaining edges and careful pointing usually take 3–7 days. Larger multi-level access routes or spiral staircases can take 1–3 weeks, especially if groundwork, drainage or walling is required. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for concrete, delivery lead times for stone, and how restricted access is around SW19 properties.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and won’t need planning permission, particularly when they’re within your boundary and don’t create major changes to ground levels. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, flats, shared access areas, or if you’re adding prominent handrails or structures near a highway. We’ll flag any likely constraints, advise on best practice, and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Merton before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our steps and garden staircases, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate installation, loose units, or failure of bedding and jointing under normal use. It’s backed by proper ground preparation, correct sub-base build-up and suitable fixings. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll explain care and maintenance so your steps stay safe and smart long-term.
We build natural stone steps (sandstone, granite, limestone), block steps for a clean modern look, and brick steps to suit Victorian and 1930s homes. Sleeper steps are popular for informal gardens, while spiral staircases can solve tight spaces or raised terraces. We can add lighting integration, anti-slip nosings and handrails in metal or timber. We’ll help you choose based on style, budget, drainage needs and how the route will be used daily.
