Garden sheds in Clapham face unique challenges with our heavy London clay and sloping Victorian plots. A properly constructed base transforms your storage solution from temporary to permanent.

Those charming terraced gardens stretching behind Clapham's period properties deserve shed foundations that last. Clay soil movement, particularly near the Common's tree-lined streets, wreaks havoc on unprepared structures. Smart homeowners recognise that investing in proper groundwork beats replacing rotted floorboards every few years.
Modern base construction involves calculating load distribution across your specific soil type. Reinforced concrete slabs excel for heavier workshops, whilst permeable eco-grid systems suit lighter summerhouses and prevent waterlogging issues common in SW11's lower-lying areas. Precise levelling compensates for natural garden slopes, ensuring doors hang true and rainwater drains away correctly.
Twenty years solving Clapham's tricky garden access has taught us every shortcut through side returns and narrow pathways. Neighbours appreciate our quiet working methods and spotless site management.

Typical Clapham garden bases range £450-£900, influenced by access constraints and ground conditions. Concrete bases for standard 8x6 sheds start around £500, while larger workshop foundations reach £1,200.
Absolutely - from Clapham Old Town to Northcote Road, including all SW4 and SW11 postcodes. Regular projects span Clapham Common, Stockwell borders, and across to Battersea.
Most Clapham bases finish within one working day. Complex slopes or poor access might extend to two days, including ground preparation and final curing time.
Every installation carries comprehensive ten-year structural coverage. This protects against settlement, cracking, and water ingress - essentially everything except direct impact damage.
Concrete suits permanent heavy structures and offers maximum longevity. Eco-grid works brilliantly for rental properties or environmental consciousness, allowing future grass regrowth if you relocate the shed.
