A good shed starts with a base that won’t sink, rock or hold water. We install shed bases across SE4, including near Brockley Market and Hilly Fields, tailored to your garden layout and access. Whether you need a simple slab base or a reinforced concrete pad, we build to the right size and finish. The result is a clean, level platform ready for installation.
Brockley’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have compact gardens, side returns and shared access routes. That means materials handling, noise control and tidy working matter just as much as the base itself. We regularly work around boundaries, mature planting and existing patios in the shed bases Brockley area. If you’re in Honor Oak, Crofton Park or New Cross, we’ll plan delivery and installation to suit your property.
Our process starts with measuring, setting levels and checking ground firmness, then full preparation: excavation, sub-base, compaction and edge detailing. We build in drainage falls where needed and finish to a precise level so doors open smoothly and panels align. You’ll get clear options, a written scope, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when promised and leave the site clean and safe.
Gardens in Brockley can vary from firm made ground to softer, moisture-retentive soil, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base thickness accordingly. Access is often via narrow side passages on terrace streets, so we plan barrow routes, protect paving and manage skip placement. We also consider drainage and surface water flow so the base doesn’t trap water against fences or walls. That’s why many clients choose our shed bases in London Borough of Lewisham for a fit-and-forget result.

Costs depend on size, base type and how much preparation is needed. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £350–£700, timber bases around £450–£900, and plastic grid bases from £500–£1,000. Concrete bases typically range from £800–£2,000+ depending on thickness, reinforcement and access. We’ll survey your garden in SE4 and provide a tailored estimate.
Most shed bases take 1 day for smaller slab, timber or grid installations, and 1–2 days for larger or more complex builds. Concrete bases may need additional time for excavation and pour day, plus curing before the shed is fitted (often 48–72 hours for light use, longer for full strength). Timescales vary with access, waste removal, weather and ground conditions.
In many cases, a shed base and a typical garden shed fall under permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, the shed is unusually large or tall, or it’s positioned close to boundaries. Drainage and surface water considerations may also apply. We’ll flag likely constraints and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Lewisham if needed.
Yes. Our shed base installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect levels. It also covers defects in our installation of edging and falls where specified. Normal wear, damage from third parties, or movement caused by hidden services or extreme ground issues outside our control aren’t included. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing.
We install concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for a neat, cost-effective platform, plastic grid bases for permeable, fast installation, and timber bases when you need an elevated, ventilated solution. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, door threshold height, drainage and how you use the space (storage, workshop or bike shed). We also build to all sizes, including bespoke footprints and corner plots.
