A shed is only as good as the base beneath it, especially in compact SW5 gardens. We build bases that stay level, resist movement and help keep your shed dry through proper drainage. From the Earl's Court tube station area to West Brompton borders, we tailor each base to the space available. Expect tidy preparation, accurate levels and a finish ready for immediate shed installation.
Homes around Earl's Court often include Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties, where side access can be narrow and outdoor space is carefully planned. We regularly work near Philbeach Gardens and surrounding streets where patios, raised beds and shared boundaries need careful protection. Our team understands how to minimise disruption in communal settings and keep pathways clean. If your garden sits on made ground or has uneven levels, we design the base to prevent rocking and door misalignment.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels, and confirm the best base type for your shed and ground conditions. Preparation includes excavation, a compacted sub-base, edge restraint where needed, and drainage considerations to avoid pooling. You’ll get clear options, a written scope, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Local homeowners trust us for punctual scheduling, neat finishes and bases that don’t crack or sink over time.
The shed bases Earl's Court area often need are shaped by tight access, resident parking controls and shared pathways typical of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to suit busy streets near Kensington and Fulham. Ground can vary between compacted fill and older garden soils, so we adjust sub-base depth and edging accordingly. Where gardens sit close to neighbouring walls, we include drainage falls to keep moisture away from structures.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs depend on size, base type and access. As a guide, small paving slab or plastic grid bases often start around £350–£750, while larger slab bases with extra preparation can be £800–£1,500. Concrete bases typically range from £900–£2,500+ depending on thickness, reinforcement and spoil removal. Tight access in SW5 and multiple steps can increase labour and disposal costs.
Most shed bases take 1 day for smaller slab or grid installations, and 1–2 days for larger or more complex groundwork. Concrete bases usually take a day to form and pour, plus curing time before placing the shed (often 48–72 hours, longer in cold weather). Timescales vary with excavation depth, drainage needs, and access restrictions common around Earl's Court and West Brompton.
In many cases, a shed base is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, provided the shed and its position meet height and boundary rules. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, and some garden square properties. Drainage and surface water rules may also affect impermeable surfaces. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you check RBKC guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for shed bases, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, loss of level, or edge movement from poor installation. The warranty assumes normal use and that the shed is installed correctly and maintained. Materials are installed to manufacturer guidance where applicable. If a problem arises, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right where it falls within coverage.
We install concrete bases for maximum rigidity, paving slab bases for a clean, modular finish, plastic grid bases for permeable ground support, and timber bases for raised, ventilated solutions. We’ll help you choose based on shed size, weight, drainage needs and ground levels. For period properties and shared gardens, we can match slab colours and set discreet edging. Every option includes proper preparation and a level finish.
