A shed is only as good as the base beneath it, especially in gardens around Holland Park and the streets near the Design Museum. We install shed bases that prevent rocking, pooling water and premature rot. Whether you need a discreet base behind planting or a clean, paved platform for a workshop, we tailor the build to your layout. We cover W11 and W14 with careful workmanship and minimal disruption.
Holland Park is known for large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and other period properties, often with landscaped rear gardens and side returns. These settings demand neat edges, controlled levels and finishes that complement existing paving and brickwork. We regularly work across nearby Kensington, Notting Hill and Shepherd's Bush, so we understand the expectations for premium detailing. If access is tight, we plan materials and waste removal to suit.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, check levels, and confirm the shed footprint and door clearance. We prepare the ground properly—excavation, compacted sub-base, edging where needed, and drainage considerations—before installing your chosen base type. Every base is built to a true, level finish and checked for stability. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, tidy working practices, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access and parking can be restrictive, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many W11 and W14 gardens have mature planting, retaining walls or steps, which affects level changes and drainage routes. We adapt base construction to suit period property boundaries and existing paving patterns. If council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the job compliant and tidy.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by size, access and base type. As a guide, small plastic grid or timber bases often start around £350–£800. Paving slab bases commonly fall between £650–£1,500 depending on excavation and edging. Concrete bases typically range from £900–£2,500+ for larger or deeper pours. Restricted access in W11/W14, spoil removal, and drainage work can increase the overall price.
Most shed bases are completed in 1–2 days, including excavation, sub-base preparation and installation. Concrete bases may need additional curing time before the shed is fixed down—often 48–72 hours for light loading, longer in cold weather. Larger bases, difficult access, or significant level corrections can extend the schedule to 3–4 days. We confirm timings after a site survey and measurements.
In many cases, a shed base is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, especially when it’s within a rear garden and not raising ground levels significantly. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, and some mansion conversions. Drainage and hardstanding may also have requirements. We’ll discuss your property details, check constraints where relevant, and advise on a compliant approach before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for shed base installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect levels. The warranty applies when the base is used as intended and not altered by third parties. Materials are installed to manufacturer guidance, and we document the build method. If a problem arises, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right.
We offer concrete bases for maximum rigidity, paving slab bases for a smart, repairable finish, plastic grid bases for fast-draining ground, and timber bases where a raised platform suits the garden. Design options include flush finishes, edged perimeters, and falls to guide water away. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, intended use (storage vs workshop), drainage needs, and how you want it to look alongside existing paving.
