If your garden slopes or your patio sits above the lawn, well-built steps make the space easier to use every day. We design and install staircases that suit Purley’s varied plots, from straightforward runs to feature entrances. Whether you’re near Purley Cross or heading towards Riddlesdown, we create steps that look right with the house and work in all weather. Expect clean lines, consistent risers and secure landings.
Purley’s large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes often have split-level terraces, raised lawns or side access routes that need dependable footing. We regularly build steps to connect front gardens, drive-to-porch approaches and multi-level rear patios across CR8. In Purley Oaks and nearby Kenley, we match materials to existing brickwork, stone copings and garden walls so the finished staircase feels original. Practical details—like drainage and anti-slip finishes—are planned in from the start.
We begin with a site visit, measure-ups and a clear design proposal covering layout, materials and finishes. Every build is set on proper sub-bases with accurate levels, then pointed and finished for long-term stability. We keep disruption controlled with tidy working areas and sensible scheduling, and we’ll advise on lighting integration and handrail placement for safer night-time use. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Gardens around Purley often sit on gradients toward the North Downs, so accurate levels and stable foundations matter. We plan for run-off, soil conditions and frost resilience, especially on exposed edges near open spaces such as Rotary Field. Access and parking can be tight on residential roads, so we organise deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our steps & garden staircases in London Borough of Croydon are designed to suit both wide front approaches and narrower side returns.

Costs vary by width, number of risers, foundations and materials. As a guide, simple sleeper or block steps often start from around £900–£2,500. Brick or block steps with coping and tidy edging are commonly £1,800–£4,500. Natural stone steps, curved layouts, landings, lighting integration or bespoke handrails can take projects to £3,500–£9,000+ depending on specification and access.
Most straightforward installations take 1–3 days, such as a short run of sleeper or block steps with a small landing. Brick or stone staircases with multiple levels typically take 3–7 working days. Larger schemes—retaining edges, drainage, lighting cabling or handrails—can run 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for concrete, weather, and how easily materials can be delivered and stored on site.
Most garden steps and staircases are classed as permitted development, especially when they’re within your property boundary and don’t create major changes to ground levels. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if the work affects a principal elevation or public highway. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can advise if you should check with the London Borough of Croydon or submit an application for peace of mind.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation integrity, including foundations, levels, stability and structural performance under normal residential use. If issues arise due to installation defects, we’ll put them right. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or movement caused by external factors such as tree roots or third-party alterations. We also use quality materials and proven build methods to reduce long-term maintenance.
We build natural stone steps for a premium finish, plus block, brick and sleeper steps for classic or contemporary gardens. For tighter spaces, we can design compact layouts and, where suitable, spiral staircases. We also offer lighting integration (recessed step lights or low-level wall lights) and discreet handrails for safety. We’ll help you choose based on your home’s style, existing paving, slip resistance, and budget.
