Uneven lawns, raised patios and sloping plots are common around Wimbledon Park and the streets near Southfields tube station. We design and build garden steps that make moving between levels effortless, whether it’s a short run to a terrace or a full multi-level access route. Choose from natural stone, block, brick or sleeper steps, with optional handrails and lighting integration. Every staircase is set out for comfortable riser heights and secure footing in wet weather.
Southfields (SW18) has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different front and rear garden layouts. We regularly create stepped approaches to bay-fronted entrances, side returns, and patio-to-lawn transitions without compromising character. For compact gardens, we can introduce space-saving solutions such as spiral staircases or carefully angled flights. Our detailing keeps lines crisp and materials sympathetic to existing brickwork and paving.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage falls and confirm preferred materials and finishes. You’ll receive a clear specification covering sub-base build-up, edging, pointing and any electrics for step lights. Our team works tidily, communicates daily, and protects planting and pathways during the build. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, high-grade workmanship, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re used to the access challenges in Southfields, from narrow side passages to limited on-street parking near the Southfields Grid. Ground conditions vary, so we build robust foundations and allow for settlement where needed. We also consider drainage and surface water management so steps don’t become slippery or stain-prone. If your property sits close to boundaries or public routes, we’ll advise on sensible layouts and safe handrail placement.

Costs vary with width, number of risers, materials and access. As a guide in SW18, simple sleeper steps often start around £800–£1,800. Brick or block steps typically fall between £1,500–£4,000 depending on foundations and finishes. Natural stone steps and larger multi-level staircases commonly range from £3,000–£9,000+, especially with lighting integration and handrails. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most small step installations take 1–3 days, such as a short run from patio to lawn. Medium builds (brick or stone with proper sub-base and edging) are usually 3–7 working days. Larger projects—multi-level access, landings, or spiral staircases—can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for concrete, weather, and whether electrics for step lighting are included.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t require planning permission, particularly at the rear of the property. However, rules can change if you’re altering the front garden significantly, working near a highway, or if the property is listed or within a conservation area. We’ll discuss your layout, heights and boundaries and can help you check Wandsworth requirements before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for steps and garden staircases, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, loose units, or failed pointing attributable to installation. Materials are supplied to manufacturer standards and any product guarantees are passed on where applicable. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, and we’ll explain simple aftercare to keep surfaces looking their best.
We offer natural stone steps for a premium finish, plus block steps, brick steps and sleeper steps for a more traditional or contemporary look. For tight spaces, spiral staircases or angled flights can improve access without dominating the garden. We can add lighting integration (recessed step lights or low-level posts) and fit handrails in metal or timber. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your home’s style and your garden’s levels.
