Eastfields gardens often need practical solutions for changes in level, especially where paths drop away towards patios or lawns. We design and build steps that suit the setting—whether you’re near Eastfields station or walking distance from Figges Marsh. Expect clean lines, comfortable treads and tidy edges that make everyday use safer. Our builds can include lighting integration for clear footing after dark.
The Eastfields area mixes Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, so one style never fits all. We match materials and proportions to your property, keeping steps in scale with front approaches, side returns and rear patios. For compact plots in Mitcham or Streatham Vale, we can create space-saving layouts and multi-level access without crowding the garden. Where modern builds need a contemporary finish, we’ll specify crisp block or stone detailing to suit.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage routes and agree the safest line of travel. You’ll receive a clear specification for foundations, riser heights and edging so there are no surprises mid-build. Our team protects paving and planting, keeps the site organised, and leaves a clean finish ready to use. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, workmanship that lasts, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re five minutes away, so surveys and follow-ups are quick to arrange. In the London Borough of Merton, access can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also account for typical garden gradients and heavy-use routes from kitchen doors to patios. Materials and detailing are chosen to suit local brickwork and boundary styles common around CR4 and SW16.

Costs vary with height changes, width, foundations and finishes. As a guide, simple sleeper steps often start around £900–£2,000, while brick or block steps are commonly £1,500–£4,000. Natural stone steps and premium edging typically fall between £2,500–£7,000+. Lighting integration, handrails, landings and complex multi-level access will increase the budget. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most straightforward garden steps take 1–3 days, depending on excavation and curing time for concrete bases. Brick, block and natural stone builds with proper foundations and edging commonly take 3–7 days. Larger staircases with landings, handrails or lighting integration can run 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access for materials, the number of levels, ground conditions and whether we’re tying into existing patios or paths.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t require planning permission, especially when they’re within the garden and not creating major changes to ground levels. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation considerations, or work affecting a front boundary and highway visibility. We’ll advise during the survey and can check relevant London Borough of Merton guidance. If approvals are needed, we’ll help prepare the information required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our steps and garden staircases. This covers issues arising from installation, such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, loose edging, or failures in jointing and fixing. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. We also specify suitable materials for the setting and explain ongoing care to keep surfaces safe and looking their best.
We build natural stone steps for a premium look, plus block steps and brick steps to complement existing walls and paving. Sleeper steps are popular for relaxed, garden-led designs, while spiral staircases can solve tight spaces or raised decking access. We can add handrails, anti-slip detailing, and lighting integration for safer night-time use. We’ll help you choose proportions, finishes and colours that suit your home and how you use the garden.
