A shed is only as good as the base beneath it, especially in Knightsbridge where gardens are compact and expectations are high. We install robust shed bases designed to prevent rocking, water pooling and premature timber rot. Whether you’re near Harrods or bordering Hyde Park, we’ll create a clean, level platform that suits your space. Work is planned to minimise disruption and keep access routes tidy.
Homes in SW1, SW3 and SW7 range from grand mansion blocks to period townhouses and ultra-luxury apartments with landscaped courtyards. These properties often have restricted access, basement lightwells, and shared boundaries that demand careful handling. Our team is used to working around premium paving, irrigation, and mature planting. If you’re in Chelsea, Belgravia or South Kensington, we tailor the base type to the site and intended shed use.
We start with a site survey, confirm shed size and load, then recommend the best base build-up. Preparation includes excavation, compacted sub-base, precise levelling and drainage considerations to keep the area dry. You’ll get clear scheduling, tidy workmanship and consistent communication from start to finish. Homeowners choose us for dependable results and a finish that looks intentional, not improvised.
Knightsbridge sites often involve tight side access, controlled parking, and careful waste removal arrangements. We plan deliveries and removals to suit local restrictions and protect communal areas in mansion blocks. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and compacted sub-layers, so we adapt the sub-base depth and compaction method accordingly. If approvals or neighbour considerations apply, we’ll help you keep everything compliant and considerate.

Costs depend on size, access, and the base type. As a guide, plastic grid bases often start around £350–£900 for smaller sheds, paving slab bases typically £600–£1,500, and concrete bases commonly £900–£2,500+. Premium finishes, difficult access (stairs, no parking), deeper excavation, or spoil removal can increase the budget. We provide a written estimate after a site visit.
Most shed bases take 1 day for small to medium sizes, with larger or more complex builds taking 2–3 days. Concrete bases may need additional curing time before the shed is installed, typically a few days depending on weather. Timescales are affected by access constraints, excavation depth, drainage requirements, and whether we’re matching existing paving levels. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting.
In many cases, a shed base is permitted development, especially when it’s a straightforward garden improvement and the shed remains within typical height and location limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, and properties with specific lease or estate restrictions. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you check with the relevant council guidance for Kensington and Chelsea or Westminster before work begins.
Yes. Our shed base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, loss of level, or edge failure under normal use. It also covers the integrity of the installed base structure (sub-base and finish) when maintained correctly. It doesn’t cover damage from flooding, ground movement beyond reasonable control, or third-party alterations after completion.
We install concrete bases for maximum durability, paving slab bases for flexibility and easy replacement, plastic grid bases for fast-draining, low-dig solutions, and timber bases where a raised, ventilated platform is best. We’ll advise on thickness, edging, and drainage falls, and match the look to existing patios or paths. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend options based on shed weight, soil, and access.
