Shepherd’s Bush gardens often need clever level changes, especially around basement patios and raised terraces. We design and build steps that feel natural underfoot and sit comfortably alongside planting and paving. Whether you’re near Westfield London or closer to Shepherd’s Bush Green, we’ll create safe access that complements your outdoor space. Expect crisp lines, solid foundations, and finishes that age well.
Local homes range from Victorian terraces to mansion conversions and modern apartments, each with different access challenges. Narrow side returns, shared passageways and compact courtyards are common in W12, so we plan deliveries and build sequences carefully. We also match materials to existing brickwork, render and period details to keep everything consistent. For modern blocks in White City, we can introduce cleaner edges and contemporary lighting integration.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, discuss usage, and agree the safest rise and going for each step. You’ll receive a clear specification covering sub-base, drainage, edging and any handrails, so there are no surprises. Our team builds with proper compaction and precise setting-out, then finishes with tidy pointing and clean transitions to paths and patios. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, meticulous workmanship, and a 10-year warranty.

Where gardens back onto neighbouring walls, we design steps to manage water properly and avoid staining or damp issues. Our approach suits the practical realities of the steps & garden staircases shepherd's bush area.

Costs vary with materials, number of risers, access and any structural work. As a guide, sleeper steps often start around £900–£2,000 for small sets, while brick or block steps commonly fall between £1,500–£4,000. Natural stone steps and premium detailing can be £2,500–£7,500+. Spiral staircases, lighting integration and bespoke handrails add to the budget. We price after a site measure.
Most straightforward garden steps take 2–5 days from excavation to final pointing, depending on drying times and weather. Larger staircases, multi-level access routes, or projects with retaining edges can take 1–2 weeks. Tight access in W12, skip permits, and the need to protect existing paving or planting can extend the programme. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts and keep you updated daily.
Most garden steps are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially when they’re within your private garden and don’t alter a boundary significantly. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where new handrails, raised platforms, or retaining structures affect neighbouring privacy and safety. We’ll check constraints relevant to your property and advise on any permissions or party wall considerations before we begin.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our steps and staircases, covering issues such as settlement caused by poor sub-base preparation, loose units, and failure of installed edging where it’s within our control. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by pre-existing drainage defects outside the agreed scope. We also offer aftercare guidance to keep finishes looking their best.
Popular choices include natural stone steps for a premium look, brick steps to echo Victorian terraces, and block steps for crisp modern lines. Sleeper steps work well for planted banks, while spiral staircases can unlock access in tight courtyards. We can add lighting integration, anti-slip detailing, and discreet handrails. For steps & garden staircases in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, we’ll recommend options that suit your levels, drainage and the style of your home.
