New Malden gardens often need practical level changes, whether you’re linking a patio to lawn or navigating a sloped plot. We build steps and garden staircases that suit the setting—clean lines for modern apartments and character details for older homes. If you’re near New Malden High Street or walking distance to Manor Park, we can survey quickly and propose a layout that improves flow and safety. Every staircase is set out for comfortable risers, consistent treads and a tidy finish.
Across KT3 you’ll find plenty of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and newer developments, each with different access challenges. Narrow side returns, raised terraces and long rear gardens can call for multi-level routes rather than one steep run. We regularly work around Raynes Park, Motspur Park and Worcester Park, matching materials to existing paving, brickwork and boundary walls. The result is a staircase that looks original to the property, not an afterthought.
Our process starts with a site measure, levels check and clear recommendations on step geometry, drainage and edging. We prepare solid sub-bases, use quality mortars and fixings, and finish with crisp joints and safe nosings. You’ll get a written scope, tidy working practices and clear communication from start to sign-off. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the steps & garden staircases New Malden area, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and gardens that fall away from the house. We plan excavation and sub-base depth to prevent movement, and we factor in practical access for materials and waste removal on residential streets. Where parking is limited, we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption and keep sites tidy. We also align designs with local property styles typical of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.

Costs vary with height change, width, foundations and finish. As a guide, simple sleeper steps might start around £900–£2,000. Brick or block steps with proper sub-base and edging are often £1,800–£4,500. Natural stone steps commonly fall between £2,500–£7,500+, especially with landings. Add-ons like lighting integration, handrails or complex drainage can increase the total.
Most small runs of steps take 2–4 days on site, including groundwork and finishing. Larger staircases with landings, retaining edges, lighting ducts or handrails typically take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, access for materials, curing time for mortars/concrete, and whether we’re matching existing paving levels. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the survey and level check.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially when they’re within the garden and not creating a new raised platform. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering boundary walls, adding tall handrails, or significantly changing levels near neighbours. We’ll advise during the survey and, if needed, help you check requirements with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our steps and garden staircases, covering issues caused by installation such as movement from inadequate sub-base, poor fixing, or faulty jointing. Materials are also installed to manufacturer guidance, and any product warranties apply where relevant (for example, lighting components). Normal wear, accidental damage and lack of maintenance aren’t covered, but we’ll explain care steps at handover.
Popular choices include natural stone steps for a premium look, brick steps to complement period homes, and block steps for crisp modern lines. Sleeper steps suit informal gardens, while spiral staircases can be ideal where space is tight. We can also integrate low-glare lighting and fit handrails for extra security. We’ll help you choose finishes, colours and proportions that suit your property and how you use the garden.
