That awkward patch behind your Norbury semi could become your favourite storage spot. Garden sheds aren't just about decluttering anymore – they're miniature sanctuaries for everything from vintage bikes to potting benches.

Victorian terraces around Norbury station often surprise owners with deceptively long gardens hiding behind narrow frontages. Converting dead space into functional shed areas has become something of an art form here. Whether you're tackling the slope common to properties near Pollards Hill or maximising a compact plot typical of newer CR7 developments, the right shed placement transforms forgotten corners.
Foundation preparation varies dramatically between Norbury's clay-heavy spots and sandier patches towards Streatham Common. Proper base installation prevents the dreaded lean that afflicts so many DIY attempts. Modern pressure-treated timber resists our unpredictable weather patterns far better than the old creosoted varieties. Security features like reinforced hasps matter particularly for tool storage, given how many locals cycle to Norbury station daily.
Twenty years fitting sheds between Thornton Heath's narrow alleyways and Streatham's generous plots brings perspective you won't find elsewhere. Every installation considers your specific access challenges – those Victorian side returns weren't designed for modern deliveries.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Basic 6x4ft sheds start around £650 fully installed, while workshop-style 10x8ft buildings with windows run £1,800-2,500. Corner summerhouse conversions popular near Norbury Park can reach £3,500.
Absolutely – from the bustling London Road through quieter streets near Norbury Hall right across to properties bordering Mitcham Common. Both SW16 and CR7 postcodes fall within our regular routes.
Most Norbury residents see their shed erected within 10-14 days of confirmation. Peak spring periods might extend to three weeks, particularly if custom sizing is needed for those tricky boundary walls.
Each structure carries decade-long coverage against rot, structural failure, and fitting defects. This includes the base, frame, and even the roof felt – essentially everything except contents or storm damage beyond normal parameters.
Definitely, though adequate gap maintenance prevents moisture trapping. Many Norbury gardens benefit from lean-to designs against existing structures, particularly where neighbouring properties create natural windbreaks. Just remember boundary regulations if you're flush against fence lines.
