We design and build steps that feel solid underfoot and look like they’ve always belonged. Whether you’re near Wandsworth Common or SW18 side streets, we’ll create a staircase that improves flow between levels. Expect crisp lines, comfortable riser heights and finishes that complement your home.
In the steps & garden staircases Wandsworth area, we regularly work on Victorian and Edwardian houses with narrow side returns and split-level rear gardens.

From front garden approaches to rear patio connections, we tailor the layout to your daily routes—bins, bikes, buggies and garden furniture included. The result is access that’s safer in wet weather and easier for all ages.

Across the steps & garden staircases in London Borough of Wandsworth, we often encounter clay-heavy ground and gardens that need careful drainage planning. Access can be tight around terraces in Earlsfield and Southfields, so we plan deliveries, protect pathways and keep sites tidy. We also factor in parking restrictions and neighbour considerations, especially near Southside Shopping Centre. Every staircase is set out to match typical Wandsworth garden levels and property proportions.

Costs vary with height change, width, foundations and finishes. As a guide, simple sleeper steps often start around £1,200–£2,500. Brick or block steps with proper footings are commonly £2,500–£5,500. Natural stone steps, wider landings, handrails and lighting integration can take projects to £5,000–£12,000+. We’ll confirm a range after measuring levels and discussing materials.
Most small step runs take 1–3 days once materials are on site. A full garden staircase with landings, retaining edges, drainage and paving tie-ins typically takes 4–10 working days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for concrete, access for moving materials, and whether we’re adding lighting, handrails or rebuilding surrounding patios. We’ll provide a clear programme before starting.
In many cases, garden steps and small external alterations are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering the front boundary, adding significant structures, or affecting drainage and neighbouring walls. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on best practice. If approvals are needed, we’ll help you prepare the details.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our steps and garden staircases, covering installation quality such as sub-base preparation, structural stability and correct setting-out. It’s designed to give you confidence that steps won’t loosen or sink due to poor build methods. Materials are also covered by their manufacturers’ guarantees where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included and how to care for your finish.
We build natural stone steps (sandstone, limestone, granite), brick steps to match period homes, and block steps finished with paving or coping. Sleeper steps are popular for softer, planted gardens, while spiral staircases can suit tight spaces. We can integrate low-glare lighting and fit handrails for added safety. We’ll recommend proportions, edging and finishes based on your levels, style and budget.
