Earlsfield gardens often need smart level changes, especially where paths rise from the house to the lawn or down towards the River Wandle. We design and install steps that feel natural to walk, look right with your planting, and stay stable in all weather. From a simple run of sleeper steps to a statement natural-stone staircase, we tailor the build to your layout. We regularly work around Garratt Lane and close to Earlsfield station in SW18.
Many homes locally are Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and conversions, where side access can be tight and front steps need to complement period brickwork. We match materials and detailing so new steps don’t look like an afterthought. For compact courtyards we can create space-saving solutions, including spiral staircases and split-level landings. If you’re improving access between patio, lawn and shed areas, we’ll plan the route so it feels effortless.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss finishes, lighting integration and handrail options. You’ll receive a clear scope of works and a practical schedule, then our team prepares solid sub-bases and proper edge restraints for long-term stability. We keep disruption low, protect existing surfaces, and leave the site clean each day. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, precise setting-out and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
The SW18 area includes mixed ground conditions and gardens that can hold water after heavy rain, so we factor in drainage and falls from the start. Access is often via narrow side passages on terraces, so we plan deliveries and cutting to minimise disruption. Where parking controls apply near Garratt Lane or around Earlsfield station, we schedule efficiently and keep materials organised on-site. Our steps & garden staircases in London Borough of Wandsworth are set out to suit local property styles and boundary lines.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by height, width, materials and whether you need lighting or handrails. As a guide, simple sleeper steps often start around £900–£2,000, while brick or block steps commonly fall in the £1,500–£4,000 range. Natural stone steps and larger multi-level staircases are typically £3,000–£10,000+. We’ll confirm levels, sub-base needs and finishes before providing a detailed estimate.
Most small step installations take 1–3 days, depending on excavation and curing time. A more complex build—such as multiple flights, curved edges, landings, or lighting integration—usually takes 4–10 working days. Timescales depend on access, spoil removal, weather, and whether we’re tying into new patios or paths. We’ll agree a schedule in advance and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering a front boundary, working near a highway, adding tall balustrades, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can help you check Wandsworth Council guidance before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for steps and garden staircases, covering issues such as movement caused by incorrect base preparation, poor setting-out, or installation defects. 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 in a way that undermines the structure. We’ll explain care and maintenance at handover.
We build natural stone steps (e.g. sandstone or granite), block steps with paving caps, brick steps to match period façades, and sleeper steps for a softer garden look. For tight spaces we can design spiral staircases, plus landings for multi-level access. Options include anti-slip finishes, recessed step lights, and discreet handrails. We’ll help you choose based on style, durability, drainage, and how you use the garden.
