Balham's mix of compact Victorian gardens and spacious Edwardian plots each need their own storage solution. Finding the right shed means balancing practicality with those tricky access routes through terraced houses.

Those narrow side returns in SW12's terraced streets make shed delivery an art form. Years of navigating Balham's characteristic Victorian layouts taught us which structures work where. Modern garden sheds come in modular designs that slip through the tightest spaces, while traditional apex styles suit the roomier gardens backing onto Tooting Bec Common.
Pressure-treated timber forms the backbone of durability in South London's damp climate. Tanalised cladding resists rot without yearly treatments, while proper ventilation prevents that musty shed smell. Base preparation matters too - concrete slabs level out Balham's clay soil variations, creating stable foundations that won't shift when the ground swells after heavy rain.
Local knowledge shapes every installation across SW12. From matching Nightingale Triangle conservation requirements to maximising corner plots near Balham station, experience counts when fitting storage into established gardens.

Standard installations take 4-6 hours once materials arrive. Allow two weeks from order to completion, though simpler models sometimes happen faster.
Structural integrity carries decade-long coverage against manufacturing faults. Timber treatments guarantee five years minimum before any maintenance, doubling untreated wood's lifespan.
Planning rules allow 2.5m height at boundaries without permission. Leave 150mm gaps for maintenance access - tight Balham plots often use corner positioning to maximise lawn space.
