Sloping lawns, raised patios and split-level gardens are common around SE13, and well-built steps make the space far easier to use year-round. We design and install garden steps and staircases that look right with your landscaping and feel solid underfoot. Whether you’re near Hither Green station or walking distance from Mountsfield Park, we’ll create access that suits your layout. Every build is set out carefully for comfortable riser heights and confident footing.
Homes in Hither Green range from Victorian terraces to Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different proportions and garden levels. We match materials and detailing to the property, from traditional brick steps that echo original features to clean-lined natural stone for modernised rear extensions. For tighter side returns and compact plots, we can design space-saving solutions like spiral staircases or slim multi-level access runs. We also consider family use, prams and pets when planning step widths and landings.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage routes and agree the safest, most practical route through the garden. You’ll receive clear options on materials, edging, lighting integration and handrails, then we schedule the build with tidy working practices and reliable communication. Sub-bases are properly prepared and steps are laid for long-term stability, not quick fixes. Local homeowners choose us for premium finishes, dependable timelines and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the steps & garden staircases in London Borough of Lewisham, we often encounter mixed ground and compact access routes, so deliveries and waste removal must be planned carefully. Parking and working space can be limited on residential streets around SE13, so we schedule efficiently and keep the site organised. We also factor in garden gradients and surface water run-off to prevent pooling at the foot of steps. The result is a staircase that suits local property styles and performs well in wet weather.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs depend on step count, width, materials and groundwork. As a guide, straightforward sleeper or block steps often start around £900–£2,500. Brick steps typically fall in the £1,500–£4,000 range depending on detailing. Natural stone steps and larger multi-level access runs are commonly £2,500–£8,000+. Lighting integration, handrails and difficult access can increase the budget.
Most small garden step installations take 1–3 days once materials are on site. A larger staircase with multiple landings, retaining edges or lighting integration typically takes 4–10 working days. Timescales vary with excavation depth, curing time for concrete bases, weather, and access for moving materials through the property. We confirm a realistic programme after measuring levels and agreeing the design.
In many cases, garden steps and staircases are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering boundary walls, adding tall balustrades, working near a highway, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can advise what to check with Lewisham Council before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including stability of the build, bedding and jointing failures caused by poor installation, and issues linked to our sub-base preparation. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, movement caused by third-party works, or extreme events outside normal use. We also recommend simple maintenance steps for your chosen material so the finish stays sharp over time.
We build natural stone steps (sandstone, granite or limestone), block steps, brick steps, and sleeper steps, plus spiral staircases where space is tight. Designs can include wide landings, curved runs, integrated planters, and multi-level access between patio, lawn and side paths. We’ll help you choose finishes and edging that suit your home’s style and your budget, then provide a clear layout before installation.
