Description

We manufacture a wide range of high quality, custom-made precast concrete steps and stairs; from cantilevered floating staircases and landings to more traditional designs. The result is a product which meets your exact specifications and is perfect for installation both outdoor and indoor.


All work we complete is bespoke and is suitable for both industrial and domestic environments. Our concrete steps are ideal for homes, offices, retail units, bars and restaurants, hotels, hospitality spaces and other commercial outlets as well as outdoor spaces like gardens or sport and exhibition venues.


Our concrete is made in the UK with a low environmental impact and using locally sourced raw materials. Living Concrete holds Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Certifications, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.


Features and benefits:

  • Lighter than standard concrete: using lighter BTX GRC high performance real polished concrete and a lightweight reinforcing core that reduces the overall weight significantly.
  • Made to order.
