Peckham gardens often have awkward level changes, raised patios, or basement lightwells that need secure access. We design and build steps that look right with your home and feel solid underfoot, whether you’re near Peckham Rye Park or around Queen’s Road. Every staircase is set out for comfortable risers and consistent treads, with drainage planned in from the start. The result is a practical feature that lifts the whole garden.
Our steps & garden staircases Peckham area service is tailored to local property styles, from Victorian terraces and Georgian houses to converted warehouses by Copeland Park. We match materials and detailing to existing brickwork, paving and boundary walls, so new steps don’t look like an afterthought. Tight side returns and narrow access routes are common in SE15, so we plan deliveries and build methods accordingly. If you’re connecting a kitchen patio to a lawn or creating multi-level access, we’ll make it feel natural and easy to use.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, discuss how you use the space, and agree a clear design. You’ll get a written specification covering foundations, edging, drainage, and any extras such as lighting integration or handrails. Our builds are tidy, scheduled, and checked for alignment, stability and safe step geometry before sign-off. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, skilled workmanship, and a finish that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Southwark, we regularly work with compact rear gardens, shared accessways and limited on-street parking. Peckham’s mix of older terraces and warehouse conversions can mean variable ground conditions and existing structures to tie into. We adapt foundations and sub-bases to suit, and we plan spoil removal and deliveries to minimise disruption. If council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the project compliant.

Costs vary with height change, width, materials and groundwork. As a guide, simple sleeper steps often start around £900–£1,800, while brick or block steps commonly fall between £1,500–£3,500. Natural stone steps and higher-end finishes are typically £2,500–£6,500+. Extras like lighting integration, handrails, drainage upgrades and retaining edges will increase the budget.
Most installations take 2–5 working days once materials are on site. A small set of steps can be completed in a couple of days, while multi-level access with landings, retaining work, or lighting may take a week or more. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for concrete, access constraints in SE15, and whether we’re matching existing paving or rebuilding adjacent areas.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially when they’re within the rear garden and not altering the street-facing appearance. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary walls, or major alterations to levels and structures. We’ll advise during the survey, check what applies in the London Borough of Southwark, and recommend contacting the council if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our steps and garden staircases, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, poor fixing, or faulty installation. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, and it doesn’t cover accidental damage or changes caused by third-party works. We’ll explain care tips to keep everything performing well.
We build natural stone steps for a premium look, plus brick, block and sleeper steps to suit different budgets and garden styles. For tighter spaces, we can design compact stair runs with landings, or consider spiral staircases where appropriate. We also install handrails and subtle lighting integration for safer night-time use. We’ll help you choose finishes, edging and tread sizes that complement your home and existing paving.
