From c.1856 he developed a style independent of his father's, in which expansive spatial planning was combined with great detail. He designed churches and cathedrals primarily in the British Isles. However, commissions for his work were also received from countries throughout Western Europe, Scandinavia, and North America. As his business grew, Pugin formed partnerships which turned out to be short-lived: with James Murray in Liverpool (1857 to 1860), with George Ashlin in Dublin (1860 to 1869), and with Joseph Hansom (1862 to 1863). He was bankrupted in 1873 by the failure of a business he was involved in, the Granville Hotel and spa at Ramsgate, Kent. Pugin was admitted as a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1862.

Pugin was unmarried. He died on 5 June 1875 as a result of "overwork and injudicious use of chloral hydrate".

W. Pugin and executed by his partner George Ashlin for the Augustinian Fathers. It was built between 1862 and 1895. It has the tallest spire in Dublin (231 ft), and occupies a prominent position on high ground overlooking the Liffey Valley. It has a striking polychromatic appearance, being built in granite with red sandstone dressings. The eminent Gothic revivalist Ruskin is said to have praised it, describing it as a "poem in stone". Statues of the apostles in the niches of the spire are by James Pearse, father of Padraig and Willie, who were executed after the 1916 Easter Rising. There is stained glass from the Harry Clarke studios. • Presentation Convent, Fethard, County Tipperary (1862) • Harrington Street Catholic Church, Dublin (1867); online • Donnybrook Catholic Church, Dublin (1863) • Monkstown Catholic Church, County Dublin (1865) • Arles Catholic Church, Stradbally, County Laois (1965) • Ferrybank Catholic Church, Waterford (1867) • Kilanerin Catholic Church, Wexford (1865) • Lady's Island Catholic Church, County Wexford (1863)
