Warlingham gardens often combine slopes, terraces and raised patios, so well-built steps make day-to-day access easier and safer. Whether you’re near Warlingham Green or up towards Hamsey Green, we design staircases that sit naturally within the landscape. Choose from natural stone steps, brickwork, blocks or sleepers to suit your home’s character. Every flight is set out for comfortable risers, consistent treads and confident footing in wet weather.
Our team works across the steps & garden staircases Warlingham area, including Chelsham and Woldingham, where properties range from period cottages to large detached houses and country homes. We match materials to existing paths, patios and boundary walls so the finished work looks intentional, not added on. For older homes, we can echo traditional brick bonds and coping details. For contemporary gardens, clean lines, crisp blockwork and integrated lighting create a refined finish.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, discuss movement routes and agree the look and budget. You’ll receive a clear specification covering foundations, drainage, edge restraints and any handrails or lighting integration. Our builds are tidy, carefully set out, and finished with safe anti-slip options where needed. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across CR6, gardens can be steep, with clay-heavy ground that needs proper sub-bases and drainage to prevent movement. We plan deliveries and parking carefully, especially around The Green and narrower residential roads. Where boundaries are close, we design compact runs, landings and turning steps to keep access comfortable. If your property sits higher up the hill, we’ll account for runoff and position channels or soakaways where appropriate.

Costs vary by height change, width, materials and whether you need landings, lighting or handrails. As a guide, simple sleeper or block steps often start around £900–£2,500. Brick steps and small flights in natural stone commonly fall between £2,500–£6,500. Larger multi-level staircases, curved runs or premium stone with lighting can be £7,000–£15,000+ depending on complexity and access.
Most straightforward step installations take 2–5 days, including excavation, sub-base, setting and tidy-up. Brick or stone steps with multiple landings typically take 1–2 weeks, especially if mortar curing time is needed. Larger projects such as multi-level access routes or spiral staircases can take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, drainage requirements, bespoke cutting, and how easy it is to bring materials onto site.
Many garden step projects are permitted development and don’t require planning permission, particularly when they’re within your garden and not creating a raised platform close to boundaries. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the works significantly alter levels near neighbouring land. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can help you check Tandridge District Council guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for steps and garden staircases, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate installation, failed joints, or unstable construction.

You can choose natural stone steps for a premium look, brick steps to match period homes, block steps for clean modern lines, or sleeper steps for a rustic garden style. We also build spiral staircases where space is tight, plus add handrails for safety and lighting integration for night-time use. We’ll advise on tread sizes, riser heights, edging details and finishes so the staircase suits your garden layout and how you move through it.
