Gardens around Pollards Hill often have small level changes that deserve more than a makeshift path. We design and install steps that feel solid underfoot, look right with your paving, and make moving between areas effortless. Whether you’re near Pollards Hill Library or walking distance from Pollards Hill Recreation Ground, we’ll create a staircase that suits your plot and lifestyle. Expect crisp lines, tidy edges, and finishes that elevate the whole garden.
Our team works daily across SW16, so we understand the layouts and access constraints typical of Pollards Hill homes. Many 1930s semis and post-war houses have narrow side passages, raised patios, or sloping lawns that need careful step geometry. We also build practical solutions for maisonettes where shared paths and entrances must stay clear and safe. The result is a staircase that fits the property, not a one-size-fits-all kit.
We start with a site visit to measure rises, check drainage, and agree the best route and width for comfortable use. You’ll receive clear options on materials, edging, lighting integration and handrails before we begin. Our installers work cleanly, protect surrounding surfaces, and finish with precise levels and secure fixings. Local homeowners choose us because we’re nearby (five minutes away), reliable, and we stand behind our workmanship.
We’re used to the practical realities of the London Borough of Merton, including tight parking, short front gardens and shared access routes. In Pollards Hill, ground can be compacted and uneven, so we prepare sub-bases properly to prevent settlement. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption on residential streets such as South Lodge Avenue. Every design is adjusted to your property style and the way you actually use the garden.

Costs vary by height change, width, materials and groundwork. As a guide, simple sleeper steps often start around £600–£1,500. Brick or block steps with proper foundations and edging are commonly £1,200–£3,500. Natural stone steps and higher-end finishes can be £2,500–£7,000+. Lighting integration, handrails and complex multi-level access will increase the total.
Most small step installations take 1–2 days once materials are on site. A full staircase with foundations, landings, lighting and handrails typically takes 3–7 working days. Timescales depend on the number of risers, access for moving materials through the property, curing time for concrete, and whether we’re tying into existing patios or retaining edges. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development because they’re a minor alteration within your boundary. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage, adding tall balustrades, or working near a boundary where safety and overlooking may be a concern. If your property is subject to restrictions or you’re in a sensitive area, we’ll flag it early and help you check requirements with Merton Council.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our steps and garden staircases, covering installation quality such as sub-base preparation, levels, and structural stability. It’s designed to give you confidence that the steps won’t loosen, rock or settle due to poor construction. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included and how to care for the finish to keep it looking its best.
We build natural stone steps for a premium look, plus block steps, brick steps and sleeper steps for different styles and budgets. For tighter spaces, we can design compact layouts and, where suitable, spiral staircases. Many clients add lighting integration for safer evenings and discreet handrails for extra support. We’ll help you choose colours, edging details and tread sizes that suit your paving and the architecture of your home.
