Brick steps and entrance steps built, repaired and rebuilt across Nottingham, Derby and nearby areas. RMS combines practical bricklaying experience with careful attention to levels, drainage, safe access and a finish that suits the property.
Brick Steps Built for Everyday Use
Outdoor steps need more than a neat appearance. The rise, tread depth, foundation, surrounding levels and route for rainwater all affect how safely and reliably the steps perform. We assess the existing entrance or garden levels before recommending a repair, partial rebuild or completely new set of steps.
Brick risers can be combined with suitable paving, stone or porcelain treads where appropriate. Materials, colours and joint finishes are discussed so the new work complements nearby walls, paths, patios and the property itself.

Repair or Rebuild?
Not every damaged step needs complete replacement. Where the foundation and main structure remain sound, individual bricks, joints or treads may be repairable. If the steps have moved, become uneven or are allowing water into the structure, rebuilding may offer a more dependable result. We explain what we find and provide a clear written quotation before work is agreed.
Foundations, Levels and Drainage
A long-lasting set of external steps starts below the visible finish. Ground conditions, foundations and adjacent paving are checked before construction. We also consider door thresholds, damp-proof-course levels, runoff and nearby drainage. This builder-led approach helps avoid creating a smart-looking step that later moves, traps water or causes problems at the entrance.
Brick Steps for Existing Gardens
Steps are often required as part of a wider patio, retaining-wall or garden-level project. RMS can coordinate the brickwork with paving, walling, edging and minor drainage work, reducing the need to arrange several different trades. Smaller standalone repairs are also considered.

Brick-Step Questions
Can you repair only the damaged part?
Often, yes, if the remaining structure and foundation are sound and compatible replacement materials can be sourced. We assess this before quoting.
Can brick risers be combined with porcelain or natural stone?
Yes, where the materials, dimensions and installation detail are suitable. The proposed tread and jointing method will be discussed before work begins.
Do you take on smaller step repairs?
Yes. RMS considers smaller brick and step repairs as well as complete rebuilds, subject to location and availability.
