A good shed starts with a base that won’t sink, rock or hold water. We install shed bases across SE13, including homes near Hither Green station and Mountsfield Park. Whether you’re replacing an old, uneven pad or starting from scratch, we create a level finish that protects your shed and what you store inside. Every base is set out accurately to match your shed footprint and door clearance.
Hither Green’s popular family streets include plenty of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, often with long gardens and side returns. These properties can have tight access routes, changes in levels, and older paving that needs careful removal. Our team is used to working around established planting, patios and fences without making a mess. If you’re in Lee, Catford or Grove Park, we’ll recommend a base type that suits your ground and usage.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear plan for excavation, sub-base and edging. Preparation is never skipped: we compact properly, check levels, and add drainage where needed so rainwater doesn’t pool under the shed. You’ll get tidy workmanship, clear timings and straightforward communication from start to finish. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat finishes and bases that don’t move over time.
Gardens around Hither Green and Lewisham often have mixed ground—old hardcore, clay pockets and compacted soil—so we tailor the sub-base depth and compaction method. Access can be restricted on Victorian terrace plots, so we plan barrow routes and protect paving and thresholds. We also consider drainage falls so water runs away from fences and neighbouring boundaries. If parking is limited near Hither Green Cemetery, we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption.

Costs vary by size, base type and how much excavation is needed. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £350–£700, while larger or reinforced concrete bases commonly fall between £900–£2,000+. Plastic grid bases can be a cost-effective option for lighter sheds, typically £500–£1,200. Removal of old bases, difficult access and extra drainage can increase the price.
Most shed base installations take 1–2 days, depending on size and materials. A simple slab base can often be completed in a day, while a concrete base may need additional time for excavation, shuttering and curing before the shed is fitted. Poor ground, restricted access in terrace gardens, or removing an existing base can add time. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after measuring up.
In many cases, a shed and its base are covered by permitted development, especially when it’s in the rear garden and within typical height and boundary rules. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, conservation considerations, or if you’re placing a structure close to boundaries with unusual dimensions. We’re familiar with shed bases in London Borough of Lewisham and will flag potential issues, advising when to check with the council before work starts.
Yes. Our shed base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including levels, structural stability and issues caused by incorrect preparation or compaction. It’s designed to give peace of mind that your base won’t subside or become uneven under normal shed use. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from external factors such as flooding, tree root movement, or changes made by others after completion. We’ll explain care and loading guidance clearly.
We offer concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for flexibility and easy replacement, plastic grid bases for permeable, well-draining support, and timber bases for raised solutions on uneven ground. We can also add edging, steps, or a slight fall for improved runoff. After assessing your garden levels and intended use (storage, workshop, bikes), we’ll recommend the best option and size, and set it out to match your shed exactly.
