A shed is only as good as what it sits on, and a poorly prepared base can lead to rot, sticking doors and uneven floors. We install shed bases across Kingston upon Thames, including KT1 and KT2, with a clean, level finish that suits your garden and shed type. Whether you’re near Kingston Bridge or shopping by the Bentall Centre, we’ll build a base that looks tidy and performs year-round. Every base is sized accurately, with attention to drainage and access.
Kingston’s mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments means gardens vary hugely—tight side returns, long plots, and landscaped courtyards are all common. In Surbiton and New Malden we often work around mature planting, existing patios and narrow access routes. We tailor the base build-up to the ground conditions and the shed’s intended use, from simple storage to heavier workshops. The result is a stable platform that won’t dip or rock over time.
Our process starts with a site visit, measuring, and checking levels, falls and where water naturally runs. We then excavate, install the right sub-base, compact properly, and finish with your chosen surface—concrete, slabs, grids or timber. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, neat working practices and dependable aftercare. All workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames can have variable ground—made-up areas, clay patches and tree roots that affect stability. We plan excavation depth and sub-base thickness to suit, and we’re used to working with limited access and considerate parking on residential streets. Where drainage is a concern, we introduce falls and permeable options to help water disperse. If you’re in the shed bases kingston upon thames area, we’ll recommend a solution that matches your garden layout and usage.

Costs vary by size, base type and how much excavation is needed. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £350–£650, while medium concrete bases commonly fall between £700–£1,400. Larger or reinforced concrete bases for workshops can be £1,500–£3,000+. Access, spoil removal, drainage requirements and edging details can affect the final figure. We provide a written quote after measuring on site.
Most shed bases take 1 day for smaller slab or plastic grid installations, and 1–2 days for typical concrete bases including excavation and sub-base work. Larger bases, difficult access, or significant levelling can extend this to 2–3 days. Concrete also needs curing time before the shed is placed—often 48–72 hours depending on weather. We’ll confirm timings once we’ve checked levels and ground conditions.
In many cases, a shed base is permitted development as part of normal garden works, especially when it’s not raised excessively and the shed remains within typical height limits. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re close to boundaries. We’ll flag any potential issues and can advise on practical ways to stay compliant. If needed, we’ll help you check guidance for Kingston upon Thames before starting.
Yes. Our shed base installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty. It covers issues caused by installation faults such as poor compaction, inadequate preparation, or incorrect levels leading to movement or instability. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, flooding beyond reasonable design expectations, or shed defects unrelated to the base. We also give care guidance, including curing times for concrete and best practice for anchoring sheds.
We offer concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for a neat, practical finish, plastic grid bases for permeable ground support, and timber bases for specific shed systems. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, intended use, drainage needs and budget. For example, workshops often suit concrete, while lighter storage sheds can work well on slabs or grids. We also advise on edging, falls and access paths to keep the area usable.
