Hammersmith gardens often need reliable access between patios, lawns and raised terraces, especially near the riverside routes by Hammersmith Bridge. We design and install steps that feel natural underfoot and look like they belong with your home’s architecture. From compact side-return routes to wider feature staircases, we tailor every rise, tread and landing. Expect crisp detailing, tidy edges and finishes that suit W6 properties.
Across Victorian terraces, mansion flats and modern riverside developments, levels can change quickly from front path to entrance or from kitchen doors down to the garden. In Brook Green and around King Street, we regularly work with narrow access, shared boundaries and existing brickwork that needs matching. Our steps & garden staircases Hammersmith area service covers everything from small garden steps to multi-level access solutions. We also integrate handrails where needed for family-friendly, year-round safety.
We start with a site survey to check levels, drainage routes and the safest walking line, then provide a clear design and itemised specification. Your staircase is built on a properly prepared sub-base with accurate setting-out, consistent risers and secure edging. We keep disruption low, protect surrounding paving and planting, and leave the site clean. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, premium workmanship and a 10-year warranty on installation.
In the steps & garden staircases in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, we often encounter tight side access, controlled parking and timed deliveries, particularly near King Street and Shepherd's Bush routes. Many gardens sit over mixed made-ground, with old foundations or services that need careful locating before digging. We plan spoil removal, protect shared paths, and design staircases that work with existing levels rather than fighting them. Where required, we’ll also advise on sympathetic detailing for conservation-sensitive streets.

Costs vary by height change, width, materials and access. As a guide, simple sleeper or block steps might start around £900–£2,000 for a small set. Brick or natural stone steps typically range from £2,000–£6,000 depending on detailing, landings and edging. Larger multi-level staircases with lighting, handrails or premium stone can be £6,000–£15,000+. We’ll survey in W6 and provide an itemised estimate.
Most small step installations take 1–3 days, including excavation, sub-base preparation and finishing. Brick or stone builds with landings, curves or retaining edges commonly take 4–7 days. Complex multi-level access, spiral staircases, drainage changes, or lighting integration can take 1–2+ weeks. Timescales depend on access (common in mansion flats), weather, curing time for mortar, and whether we’re tying into existing patios or walls.
Most garden steps are permitted development, particularly when they’re within your boundary and don’t significantly alter the street-facing appearance. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, shared access arrangements, or where a new balustrade/handrail affects elevations. If steps connect to a front garden or public-facing entrance, extra care is sensible. We’ll flag likely constraints, help you check council guidance, and design accordingly before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, loose edging, or failures in construction detailing. It applies when the steps are used as intended and not altered by others. Materials are covered by their manufacturers’ guarantees where applicable. We also give maintenance advice for stone and brick to reduce staining, algae and wear, especially in shaded riverside gardens.
We build natural stone steps (sandstone, limestone, granite), block steps for clean modern lines, brick steps to suit Victorian terraces, and sleeper steps for warm, informal gardens. For tighter footprints we can design compact or spiral staircases, plus landings for safer turning points. Options include recessed step lighting, low-voltage LEDs, and discreet handrails. We’ll help you choose based on slip resistance, maintenance, and how the staircase ties into patios and paths.
