A shed is only as good as what it sits on, especially with Blackheath’s mix of mature gardens and changing ground levels. We install bases that prevent rocking, rot and water pooling, whether you’re near Blackheath Common or closer to Blackheath Village. From compact tool sheds to large workshops, we build to the exact footprint and access constraints. Work is planned to keep disruption low and leave your garden tidy.
Homes around SE3 include Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions, often with side returns, narrow gates and established planting. That’s why our shed bases Blackheath area service focuses on smart material choices and practical logistics from day one. We regularly work across Greenwich, Lee, Lewisham and Kidbrooke, adapting base depth and edging to suit each garden. The result is a base that looks right for the property and performs for years.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and advice on the best base type for your shed and ground conditions. Preparation includes excavation, compacted sub-base, level checks, and drainage considerations before the final surface goes down. You’ll get clear options, tidy workmanship and a base built to handle real use. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, reliable scheduling and a finish that stays true.
Blackheath gardens often have mature tree roots, clay-heavy patches and subtle slopes that need careful excavation and compaction. We plan access around narrower side passages and parking restrictions common near The Paragon and All Saints Church. Where required, we align our approach with expectations for shed bases in Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham. Materials and waste removal are organised to keep the site safe and neighbours considered.

Costs depend on size, base type and how much preparation is needed. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £250–£600, while concrete bases for medium sheds commonly fall in the £600–£1,500 range. Larger or thicker reinforced concrete bases, difficult access, significant excavation or spoil removal can take projects to £1,500–£3,000+. We’ll confirm after measuring and checking levels and ground conditions.
Most shed bases are completed in 1 day, particularly paving slab or plastic grid bases with straightforward access. Concrete bases typically take 1–2 days including preparation, with additional curing time before the shed is installed (often 48–72 hours, longer in cold weather). Timescales vary with excavation depth, slope correction, root management, drainage requirements and how easily materials can be brought through the property.
In many cases, a shed base is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, provided the shed and its position meet standard rules (height, boundary distances and overall use). However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, or where drainage and hardstanding rules are sensitive. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you check guidance for your street before work starts.
Yes. Our shed base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including settlement due to poor preparation, loss of level from inadequate compaction, and issues arising from incorrect installation of the base layers. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party alterations, extreme ground movement beyond reasonable control, or shed defects. We also provide aftercare advice so your base and shed stay in top condition.
We offer concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for flexibility and easy replacement, plastic grid bases for fast-draining, low-dig installations, and timber bases where a raised, ventilated platform is preferred. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, intended use (storage vs workshop), drainage, and access. Options include edging details, fall direction for water run-off, and finishes that suit period gardens.
