That narrow side return beside your Tooting terrace deserves better than a rickety old shed. Purpose-built garden buildings transform awkward spaces into practical storage that actually enhances your outdoor area.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian properties throughout SW17 typically feature long, narrow gardens where every square metre counts. Installing the right shed means balancing your storage needs with precious outdoor space. Local installers understand these constraints – whether you're working with a compact Furzedown plot or maximising a larger Tooting Bec garden.
Foundation preparation proves crucial on London clay soil. Proper groundwork prevents seasonal movement that plagues many Tooting gardens. Modern pressure-treated timber resists moisture better than older constructions, while clever ventilation systems combat the dampness that settles between neighbouring properties. Security features have evolved too – reinforced doors and windows deter opportunistic theft in urban areas.
Twenty years fitting sheds across South London teaches you which designs suit Tooting's specific challenges. Knowledge of local planning requirements saves homeowners time and potential headaches.

Standard models typically take 2-3 weeks from order to completion. Bespoke designs might need 4-6 weeks, particularly during busy spring periods. Installation itself usually completes within a single day.
Structural components carry decade-long guarantees against rot and insect damage. Roofing felt, fixings, and treatment warranties provide comprehensive coverage. Professional installation ensures these protections remain valid through proper assembly techniques.
Boundary positioning depends on height and local regulations. Structures under 2.5m generally pose no issues. Taller buildings may need spacing from boundaries. Experienced installers navigate these requirements, ensuring compliance while maximising your usable space.
