Mitcham gardens often need practical level changes, especially around sloping lawns and raised patios near Mitcham Common and Figges Marsh. We design and build steps that feel comfortable to use every day, with consistent risers, solid foundations, and smart drainage. Whether you want a simple run of steps or a feature staircase, we tailor the build to your layout. CR4 homeowners can also add lighting for safer evenings and a premium finish.
Our team works across the steps & garden staircases Mitcham area, from Victorian cottages to 1930s semis and modern estates. These property styles often call for different detailing—brick to match traditional walls, clean blockwork for contemporary gardens, or natural stone to elevate period character. We also create multi-level access routes that make side returns, terraces, and garden rooms easier to reach. The result is a staircase that looks like it belongs with the house, not an afterthought.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground conditions, and agree the safest line of travel. You’ll receive clear options on materials, edging, handrails, and lighting integration, along with a tidy schedule. Our builds prioritise accurate setting-out, compacted sub-bases, and durable jointing so steps stay true over time. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, neat workmanship, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Merton, access and parking can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for variable ground conditions found around older plots near Mitcham Cricket Green and newer developments near Mitcham Junction station. Where gardens sit higher or lower than the house, we incorporate drainage details to manage runoff. Finishes are chosen to complement local brickwork and boundary styles common in CR4 streets.

Costs vary with height, width, materials, and whether you’re adding lighting or handrails. As a guide, simple sleeper or block steps often start from around £900–£2,500. Brick or natural stone steps commonly fall between £2,000–£6,000 depending on detailing and foundations. Larger multi-level staircases or feature designs (including spiral options) can be £6,000–£15,000+. We’ll provide a tailored estimate after measuring levels on site.
Most straightforward step installations take 2–5 days, including excavation, sub-base, and finishing. Brick or stone work can take longer due to setting-out and curing times, typically 5–10 working days. Multi-level access routes, landings, lighting integration, or handrails may extend the programme to 2–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, spoil removal, weather, and whether we’re tying into patios, paths, or retaining edges.
Many garden steps are permitted development, especially when they’re within your boundary and don’t significantly alter ground levels near boundaries. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if works involve major retaining structures or railings overlooking neighbours. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can advise on best practice for Merton requirements. If needed, we’ll help you gather details for a planning enquiry.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for steps and garden staircases, covering issues such as movement caused by poor installation, unstable sub-bases, or failed jointing attributable to our build. Materials are covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable, and we’ll explain these before you choose finishes. Our warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or extreme events, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise if concerns arise.
Popular choices include natural stone steps for a premium look, brick steps to match traditional walls, and block steps for clean modern lines.
