A shed is only as good as what it sits on, and a poor base quickly leads to damp, sticking doors and movement. We install robust bases across SE12, including homes near Lee Green crossroads and Manor House Gardens. Whether you’re adding a compact tool store or a large workshop, we build to the exact footprint. Expect tidy preparation, accurate levels and sensible drainage from the start.
Lee Green’s gardens often sit behind Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses, where space and access can be tight. We’re used to side returns, narrow gates and shared paths, and we plan materials and barrowing routes accordingly. If you’re close to Lee station or over towards Hither Green, we’ll factor in parking and delivery timing. The result is a base that fits your property style and the way you use the garden.
We begin with a site visit to confirm ground levels, soil condition and the best base type for your shed. Then we excavate, install the right sub-base, compact in layers, and finish with a crisp, level surface and drainage where needed. You’ll get clear, written specifications and straightforward communication throughout. Local homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, clean edges and a base that doesn’t settle.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, gardens can have mixed ground—made-up areas, clay pockets and uneven old patios. We assess what’s underfoot and choose the right depth of excavation and sub-base to suit. Access around Blackheath, Grove Park and SE12 streets can be limited, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. If a base needs to sit close to fencing or a boundary, we set out carefully to avoid encroachment.

Costs depend on size, base type and how much excavation is required. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £350–£700, while medium concrete bases are commonly £700–£1,400. Larger workshop bases, poor ground, drainage channels or difficult access can take it to £1,500–£2,500+. We’ll measure up and provide an itemised quote for your shed bases Lee Green area.
Most shed base installs take 1 day for small to medium sizes, especially slab or plastic grid bases on straightforward ground. Concrete bases may take 1–2 days including excavation and shuttering, plus curing time before the shed goes on (typically 48–72 hours, longer in cold weather). Access, waste removal, drainage work and the amount of levelling needed are the main factors affecting timescales.
In most cases, a shed base is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, provided the shed and its position meet the usual limits (height, boundary distance and use). Restrictions can apply in conservation areas or for listed buildings, and drainage rules may matter if you’re altering levels significantly. We’ll flag anything that looks sensitive and can help you check requirements for shed bases in London Borough of Lewisham before work starts.
Yes. Our shed base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including levels, stability and the integrity of the installed base structure. It’s designed to give peace of mind against issues caused by incorrect preparation or poor installation. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from external factors such as flooding, tree root heave, or changes made by others after completion. We also provide care guidance to help your base perform long term.
We offer concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for a clean modular finish, plastic grid bases for permeable, well-draining support, and timber bases where a raised structure is preferred. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, intended use (storage vs workshop), drainage needs and access for materials. Edge detailing, fall direction and base height can also be tailored so the shed sits neatly within your garden layout.
