Those narrow Brixton gardens behind Victorian conversions deserve clever storage. Whether you're squeezing between boundary walls or working with awkward levels, the right shed transforms dead space into something genuinely useful.

Victorian terraces dominate SW2 and SW9, bringing their own peculiar challenges - narrow returns, uneven ground, neighbours' extensions blocking access. Installing sheds here requires understanding these quirks. Years navigating Brixton's maze of rear gardens means spotting solutions others might miss, particularly when dealing with those tricky basement flat setups common around Brixton Hill.
Groundwork matters more than most realise. Brixton's clay soil shifts seasonally, causing standard concrete bases to crack within months. Proper foundations go deeper, incorporating drainage channels that prevent waterlogging during those infamous South London downpours. Pressure-treated timber frames resist rot better than budget alternatives, essential when your shed backs onto damp Victorian brickwork.
Local knowledge beats flashy websites every time. Understanding which materials survive Brixton's microclimate, knowing reliable suppliers who deliver down tight alleyways, having relationships with neighbours who've seen dozens of cowboys come and go - these things matter when you're investing in proper garden infrastructure.

Basic 6x4 installations start around £800-1200 including groundwork. Larger builds (8x10 upwards) typically run £1500-3000. Those requiring crane access over terraced houses push costs higher - budget £3500-5000 for complex installations.
Absolutely - from the Stockwell Park conservation area through to Tulse Hill's leafier streets. Regular work includes everything from council estates near Brixton station to the grand villas along Herne Hill borders.
Standard installations complete within 3-5 days, weather permitting. Complex access situations (crane hire, narrow passages) might stretch to a week. Base preparation begins immediately, with assembly following once concrete cures properly.
Everything's covered for a decade - timber defects, structural issues, even storm damage repairs. Annual inspections catch problems early. Unlike warranty cards gathering dust, this means actual people returning to check joints, treat timber, and ensure your investment lasts.
Definitely. Feather-edge cladding echoes Victorian coach houses, while contemporary designs complement modern extensions. Custom colours match existing fences or complement that trendy exterior paint job. Even salvaged materials work brilliantly - reclaimed doors add character whilst keeping costs sensible.
