A good shed starts with a base that won’t sink, rock or hold water. We install shed bases across SE23, with careful levelling and drainage to suit your garden. From plots near Honor Oak Park station to sloping sections closer to One Tree Hill, we tailor the build to the ground. Expect a neat finish that makes shed installation straightforward.
Honor Oak’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often comes with long rear gardens and side returns where access can be tight. We’re used to working through narrow passages, protecting paving and keeping disruption down for neighbours. If you’re comparing shed bases Honor Oak area options, we’ll explain what suits your shed weight, usage and soil conditions. We also work regularly around Forest Hill and Brockley for consistent local standards.
We start with a site check, then set out the base to the exact shed footprint with allowance for overhang where needed. Ground preparation includes excavation, compacted sub-base and edging where appropriate, followed by a level finish and practical drainage. You’ll get clear recommendations, tidy workmanship and a schedule you can rely on. Homeowners choose us for robust builds, transparent options and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, gardens around Honor Oak can be hilly, with changes in level and pockets of clay that need the right sub-base depth. Parking and access near SE23 streets can affect deliveries, so we plan materials and waste removal carefully. Where properties have raised patios or stepped gardens, we build stable transitions and retain a clean edge. We also consider runoff so water doesn’t track toward the house or neighbouring fences.

Costs vary by size, base type and how much excavation is required. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £350–£700, while plastic grid bases can be £450–£900 depending on ground prep. Concrete bases for larger sheds typically fall in the £900–£2,000+ range. Slopes, poor ground, restricted access and spoil removal can increase the total.
Most shed bases are completed in 1 day for smaller slab or grid installations, assuming straightforward access and minimal digging. Larger or more complex builds—especially concrete bases with deeper preparation—often take 2–3 days, plus curing time before the shed goes on (typically a few days). Steep gardens, drainage additions, and waste removal logistics can extend the schedule slightly.
In many cases, a shed base is classed as a minor garden improvement and doesn’t need planning permission, provided it’s not creating a raised platform that materially changes ground levels or affects drainage to neighbours. Rules can change if the shed is large, near boundaries, or in a constrained setting. We’ll flag any potential issues and advise you to check Lewisham guidance where relevant before work starts.
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. It’s designed to give you confidence that the base will remain stable and fit for purpose. Normal wear, damage from misuse, or changes made by others aren’t covered. We’ll also explain care tips to keep drainage and edges performing well.
We install concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for a practical, cost-effective finish, plastic grid bases for permeable support, and timber bases where a raised, ventilated structure suits the garden. We’ll help you choose based on shed size, intended use (storage, workshop, gym), ground slope and drainage. Options include edging details, falls for runoff, and finishes that align neatly with paths or patios.
