A well-built shed base stops doors sticking, panels twisting and water pooling after heavy rain. We install shed bases across Bermondsey, including near Bermondsey Street and Maltby Street Market, with careful ground preparation and a clean, level finish. Whether you need a compact base for a bike store or a larger platform for a workshop, we build to suit. Every base is sized accurately to your shed footprint and access constraints.
Bermondsey’s mix of converted warehouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments often means tighter access, shared pathways and small courtyard gardens. We’re used to working around London Bridge and Tower Bridge where space is limited and neighbours are close by. Our team plans deliveries, spoil removal and noise-sensitive tasks to reduce disruption. We also design bases that work for raised decks, uneven paving and existing drainage runs.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and confirm the best base type for your shed and ground conditions. Next comes preparation: excavation where needed, compacted sub-base, edging and drainage considerations, then the chosen finish installed square and true. You’ll get clear options, tidy workmanship and a base that’s built to take real use—not just look neat on day one. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, honest advice and consistent results.
In the London Borough of Southwark, gardens can sit over mixed made ground, older fill and compacted clay, so preparation and sub-base depth matter. Around SE1 and SE16 we often deal with restricted access, controlled parking and timed deliveries, especially near busy routes by London Bridge. We plan barrow routes, protect existing paving and keep spoil removal efficient. If your property is a flat with a courtyard or a warehouse conversion with a roof terrace, we’ll tailor the build method to suit.

Costs depend on size, base type and how much preparation is required. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £350–£700, while concrete bases commonly range from £700–£1,800+. Plastic grid bases can be cost-effective at roughly £450–£1,200, and timber bases vary widely depending on framing and supports. Excavation, waste removal and access in SE1/SE16 can affect the final price.
Most shed bases bermondsey area are completed in 1 day for smaller slab or grid installations, and 1–2 days for larger or more complex bases. Concrete bases may need additional curing time before the shed is placed, typically 48–72 hours depending on weather. Timescales also change with access, excavation depth, and whether we’re working around existing paving, steps or tight side returns common in Southwark properties.
In many cases, a shed base is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, especially when it’s within a rear garden and the shed remains within typical height and location limits. However, rules can vary for listed buildings, conservation areas, roof terraces, or where drainage changes are involved. We’ll flag any concerns during the site visit and can advise what to check with Southwark Council before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our shed base installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, loss of level due to poor compaction, or defects in installation. The warranty applies when the base is used as intended and not altered by third parties. We also explain aftercare—particularly for concrete curing and drainage—to help keep your base performing properly long-term.
We install concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for flexible, tidy finishes, plastic grid bases for permeable, fast installs, and timber bases for raised or uneven areas. We can build to any size, including bespoke footprints for workshops, bike stores and bin sheds. We’ll recommend the best option based on your shed type, ground levels, drainage needs and access constraints typical of shed bases in London Borough of Southwark.
