Raynes Park gardens often include raised patios, split-level lawns and side returns that need reliable access. We design and build steps that feel natural to walk, look proportionate to the house, and cope with year-round use. Whether you’re near Raynes Park station or closer to Cannon Hill Common, we’ll create a staircase that suits the setting. Every build is finished with tidy edges, consistent risers and secure landings.
Local homes in SW20 range from 1930s semis to Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses, each with different thresholds, garden widths and levels. We match materials and detailing to your property—clean-lined block steps for modern upgrades, or brick and stone to complement period features. Narrow side access and shared boundaries are common, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. The result is a staircase that improves flow without overwhelming the garden.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, discuss preferred routes, and check drainage and lighting opportunities. You’ll receive a clear specification covering materials, step geometry, edging and safety details such as handrails. Our team installs solid sub-bases, accurate risers and non-slip finishes, then leaves the site clean and usable. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
Across the London Borough of Merton, we often encounter clay-heavy ground and gardens with subtle level changes that need proper foundations. Parking and access can be tight around Raynes Park and nearby Wimbledon, so we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption. We also factor in boundary lines, shared paths and existing drainage runs typical of 1930s plots. This practical local approach helps your steps stay stable and look sharp for years.

Costs vary by height, width, number of risers and material choice. As a guide, simple sleeper or block steps often start around £1,200–£2,500, while brick or natural stone steps are commonly £2,500–£6,000+. Larger builds with landings, handrails and lighting integration can be £6,000–£12,000+. We’ll survey levels in SW20 and provide an itemised quotation.
Most small step builds take 1–3 days once materials are on site. More complex work—multiple flights, landings, retaining edges, handrails or lighting—typically takes 4–10 working days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, ground conditions, access for materials, and whether we’re tying into paving, patios or drainage. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site visit and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t require planning permission, especially when they’re within your garden and don’t alter the street scene. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, affecting a front garden, or altering boundary walls and railings. We’ll discuss your layout, check any relevant constraints in the London Borough of Merton, and advise before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our steps and garden staircases. It covers installation-related issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or failures in bedding and pointing. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by pre-existing drainage defects outside the agreed scope. We also use quality materials and proven build methods to maximise long-term durability.
We build natural stone steps (sandstone, granite and limestone), brick steps to match existing walls, and crisp block steps for contemporary gardens. Sleeper steps are popular for informal, family-friendly layouts, and we can create spiral staircases where space is tight. Options include lighting integration, anti-slip nosings and smart handrails. We’ll help you choose based on levels, style, maintenance preferences and budget.
