Greenwich gardens often sit on gentle slopes or split levels, especially around Maze Hill and the approaches to Greenwich Park. Well-built steps make everyday access easier, whether you’re moving between patio and lawn or linking a side return to the rear garden. We design staircases that look right alongside brickwork, paving and planting, rather than feeling like an afterthought. Expect crisp lines, solid footings and comfortable tread sizes that work in all seasons.
Our work in the SE10 postcode covers everything from Georgian townhouses to Victorian villas and modern waterfront apartments. Each property type brings different constraints—tight access routes, shared boundaries, or a need to keep finishes sympathetic to original features. We match materials and detailing to your setting, from traditional brick risers to contemporary stone with clean edges. The result is a staircase that feels built-in, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage, and agree the safest rise-and-run for daily use. You’ll receive clear options for materials, edging and lighting integration, plus a tidy, scheduled build with minimal disruption. Our team works to robust sub-base and fixing standards so steps stay level and secure. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, careful workmanship and a finish that lasts.
In the Royal Borough of Greenwich, access can be tight and parking may need planning, particularly near Deptford and busy routes around Cutty Sark. We schedule deliveries sensibly and keep materials organised to reduce disruption. Ground conditions vary from made-up garden soils to compacted sub-bases in renovated plots, so we adjust excavation depth and foundations accordingly. We also consider conservation sensitivities where relevant and keep designs sympathetic to local streetscapes.

Costs vary with height, width, materials and access. As a guide, simple sleeper or block steps often start around £1,200–£2,500, while brick or natural stone runs commonly fall between £2,500–£6,000. Larger builds with landings, retaining edges, handrails and lighting integration can be £6,000–£12,000+. We’ll confirm a tailored range after measuring levels and discussing finishes.
Most small to mid-sized stair builds take 2–5 working days, depending on excavation, curing times and the number of steps. More complex schemes—multi-level access with landings, retaining work, handrails and lighting—typically take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by site access, spoil removal, weather, and whether we’re matching existing paving or brickwork. We provide a clear schedule before work starts.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the work alters boundary walls, railings, or affects public-facing elevations. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can advise on whether you should check with the Royal Borough of Greenwich. We build to safe, sensible dimensions regardless.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our steps and garden staircases, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate foundations, poor fixing, or installation defects. It’s designed to give homeowners confidence that the structure will remain stable and safe. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included in writing and how to maintain finishes for long-term performance.
Popular choices include natural stone steps for a premium look, brick steps to suit period properties, and block or sleeper steps for clean, practical access. For compact gardens, we can design tighter layouts or even spiral staircases where appropriate. We also offer handrails and lighting integration for safety and evening use. We’ll help you choose based on levels, style, slip resistance, and how the steps connect to patios, paths and planting.
