Pimlico gardens often need clever level changes—front lightwells, raised patios, and basement courtyards. We design and build steps that look right alongside Regency façades and the clean lines around Dolphin Square. Whether you’re improving access to a terrace or creating a route through planting, we focus on comfort underfoot, tidy detailing, and long-lasting structure. Expect finishes that suit SW1 streetscapes and private garden squares alike.
Our team regularly works across the steps & garden staircases Pimlico area, including Westminster and Victoria, where space is tight and boundaries are close. Mansion blocks and period conversions commonly call for slimmer runs, discreet handrails, and non-slip finishes that still feel premium. For townhouses, we often connect multiple levels—kitchen terraces, lawn panels, and side returns—without overwhelming the garden. Designs are tailored to the property’s proportions and the way you actually move through the space.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage, and discuss how you want the route to feel—gentle, formal, or contemporary. You’ll receive a clear specification covering foundations, riser/tread sizes, edging details, and any lighting integration. Our builds are clean, well-managed, and respectful of neighbours, with careful protection of existing paving and planting. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, transparent communication, and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
In Pimlico and across the City of Westminster, access can be restricted and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many gardens sit over basements or near lightwells, requiring sensible load considerations and tidy foundations. We also account for drainage and run-off so steps don’t funnel water towards the property. Materials and detailing are chosen to sit comfortably with period brickwork and smart communal settings near Pimlico tube station.

Costs vary with height change, width, materials, and access. As a guide, simple sleeper steps might start around £900–£2,000, while brick or block steps commonly fall between £1,800–£4,500. Natural stone steps, curved designs, or integrated lighting and handrails typically range from £3,500–£9,500+. We’ll confirm levels and ground conditions before providing a detailed, itemised quote.
Most straightforward step installations take 2–5 days once materials are on site. More complex builds—such as multi-level access, curved runs, spiral staircases, or projects with lighting and handrails—often take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for concrete bases, access for deliveries, and whether we’re tying into existing paving or walls. We’ll agree a schedule before work begins.
Many garden step projects are permitted development, especially when they’re within the garden and don’t significantly alter the building’s appearance. However, Pimlico has conservation considerations and some properties are listed or part of managed estates, which can add restrictions. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you check with the City of Westminster or your building management company before starting. We also design to meet safe, practical dimensions.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity of the steps, including foundations, setting-out, and installation. This includes issues such as movement caused by poor base preparation or incorrect construction. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered. We also recommend suitable maintenance for stone, brick, and timber so surfaces remain safe and attractive over time.
We build natural stone steps (granite, limestone, sandstone), brick steps to match period façades, and crisp block steps for contemporary courtyards. Sleeper steps work well for planted terraces, while spiral staircases can solve tight footprints. We can add anti-slip detailing, lighting integration, and handrails in metal or timber. We’ll help you choose based on style, durability, drainage, and how the steps connect to patios, lawns, and paths.
