Wimbledon gardens often combine sloping plots with formal terraces, so well-built steps make a real difference to safety and flow. Whether you’re near Wimbledon Village or walking distance from Wimbledon Common, we design staircases that look right with the setting. From broad natural stone treads to compact block steps, we tailor the rise, run and landings to how you actually use the space. Every build is finished with crisp edges, neat joints and reliable drainage.
Across SW19 and SW20 we regularly work on large Victorian houses, Edwardian villas and exclusive modern homes with multi-level rear gardens. Older properties can have narrow side access and mature planting that needs careful protection. Newer builds often benefit from clean-lined steps with integrated lighting and minimal handrails. Our designs respect existing brickwork, paving and boundary details so the new staircase feels original to the property.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground stability and agree the safest route between terraces. You’ll receive a clear specification covering foundations, edging, drainage and finishes, plus options for handrails and lighting integration. Our team keeps the site tidy, protects surfaces, and communicates daily so there are no surprises. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, premium materials and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Many Wimbledon gardens sit on gentle slopes with clay-heavy ground, so we use robust sub-bases and proper drainage to prevent movement. Access and parking can be tight around Wimbledon Park and South Wimbledon, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also match materials to local property styles, from Victorian brick tones to contemporary porcelain and stone. For steps near boundaries or front gardens, we stay mindful of London Borough of Merton requirements and neighbour considerations.

Costs vary with width, number of risers, foundations, and material choice. As a guide, simple sleeper steps might start around £900–£2,000, while brick or block steps often fall in the £1,800–£4,500 range. Natural stone steps typically range from £3,000–£9,000+ depending on stone type and detailing. Lighting integration, handrails and complex landings add to the budget.
Most small step installations take 1–3 days, while a full multi-level staircase with landings usually takes 4–10 working days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, access for materials, curing time for concrete bases, and whether we’re integrating lighting or handrails. Weather and ground conditions can also affect progress, especially on clay soils. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a highway, adding substantial railings to the front, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can advise on checking with the London Borough of Merton before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, failed joints, or defects in the way the steps are constructed. It applies when the steps are used normally and maintained sensibly. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. If there’s a problem, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right in line with the warranty terms.
We build natural stone steps (sandstone, limestone, granite), block steps for a crisp contemporary look, traditional brick steps to suit period homes, and sleeper steps for informal gardens. We can also create spiral staircases where space is tight, plus add handrails and discreet lighting to improve safety. We’ll help you choose tread sizes, finishes and edging to match existing paving and the style of your Wimbledon property.
