A solid base is the difference between a shed that lasts and one that twists, sticks and leaks. We install shed bases across SE10, including Maze Hill and Blackheath, with careful levelling and neat edges. Whether you’re near Greenwich Park or closer to Deptford, we tailor the build to your access and ground conditions. The result is a firm, flat platform ready for immediate installation.
Greenwich homes come in all shapes, from Georgian townhouses and Victorian villas to modern waterfront apartments with compact gardens. We’re used to tight side access, shared pathways and stepped plots that need extra preparation. If you’re adding storage for bikes, tools or garden furniture, we’ll size the base precisely to your shed footprint. Our team brings premium workmanship from Norbury to Greenwich in around 30 minutes, so you get reliable scheduling and consistent standards.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear recommendation on base type and thickness. Preparation includes excavation where needed, compacted sub-base, a level finish, and drainage considerations to keep water away from the shed floor. We keep the job tidy, remove spoil, and communicate timings so you can plan deliveries and installation. Homeowners choose us for durable builds, clean lines, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Gardens around Charlton, Deptford and SE10 can vary from compact courtyards to larger plots, often with changes in level and restricted access. We plan materials and waste removal to suit parking and loading, and we work considerately around neighbours and shared paths. Where plots sit near mature trees or older boundaries, we adapt the sub-base and drainage to reduce movement and water pooling. You get a base that suits the property style and the practical realities of Greenwich homes.

Costs depend on size, base type and how much groundwork is required. As a guide, small paving slab or plastic grid bases often start from around £350–£750, while concrete bases for larger sheds commonly fall between £800–£1,800+. Excavation, spoil removal, difficult access in SE10, and extra drainage can increase the budget. We provide a written quote after measuring and checking levels.
Most shed bases are completed in 1 day, especially slab or grid systems on straightforward ground. Concrete bases typically take 1 day to install, with curing time before the shed goes on—often 48–72 hours depending on weather and thickness. Larger bases, significant excavation, or limited access in Greenwich can extend the job to 2 days. We confirm timings after the site survey.
In many cases, a shed base and shed are permitted development for UK homes, provided size, height and location rules are met. However, restrictions can apply in conservation areas or where properties have specific conditions, and drainage rules may matter if you’re creating an impermeable surface. We’ll flag any concerns during the survey and can advise what to check with the Royal Borough of Greenwich before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for shed bases we install, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect levelling. It also covers defects in installation that lead to instability or unevenness under normal use. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party alterations, extreme ground movement beyond reasonable control, or misuse. We’ll explain care and loading guidance at handover.
We install concrete bases for maximum durability, paving slab bases for flexible sizing and easy repairs, plastic grid bases for fast-draining, low-dig solutions, and timber bases where a raised, ventilated platform is preferred. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, ground levels, drainage, and access for materials. If you’re planning electrics or a workshop, we can also allow for cable routes and thresholds.
