A shed is only as good as what it sits on, so we build bases that don’t rock, sink or hold water. We install shed bases for gardens across KT3, from near New Malden High Street to streets by Manor Park. Whether you’re adding a compact storage shed or a larger workshop, we size the base precisely and finish it cleanly at the edges. The result is a stable platform that helps doors align and keeps damp away from your timber floor.
New Malden’s mix of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments often comes with side access constraints and varied garden levels. We’re used to working around narrow passages, shared driveways and established planting. For homeowners in the shed bases New Malden area, we match the base type to the shed use—lightweight garden storage, heavier gym equipment, or a tool workshop. We also plan for long-term settlement so the base stays true over time.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, check levels and identify drainage paths. We excavate and prepare a proper sub-base, compact in layers, then install your chosen finish to a neat, level tolerance. You’ll get clear recommendations, tidy working practices, and a schedule that respects neighbours and access. Local homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship and shed bases in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames that are built to last.
Gardens around Beverley Park and Motspur Park can have mixed ground and patches of poor drainage, so we design the sub-base accordingly. Access and parking can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary lines and outbuildings typical of 1930s plots. If needed, we’ll advise on drainage falls so rainwater runs away from the shed and nearby paving.

Costs vary by size, base type and access. As a guide, a small paving slab base might start around £350–£700, while a reinforced concrete base for a larger shed or workshop is often £900–£2,000+. Plastic grid bases can be a cost-effective option for lighter sheds, typically £450–£1,200. Excavation depth, waste removal, and drainage requirements can move the price up or down.
Most shed bases are completed in 1 day, especially slab or grid systems. Larger excavations, tricky access, or a thicker concrete base can take 2–3 days including preparation and tidy-up. Concrete also needs curing time before placing a shed—often 48–72 hours for light loads, longer for heavier buildings. Weather, ground conditions and drainage changes are the main factors that affect timescales.
In many cases, a shed base and a typical garden shed fall under permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can change depending on shed height, proximity to boundaries, listed buildings, conservation areas, or if the outbuilding is used as living accommodation. We’ll flag any common issues during the site visit and can help you check the latest guidance for the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames before work starts.
Yes. Our shed base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including level tolerance, structural stability of the base, and issues arising from incorrect preparation or compaction. It doesn’t cover damage from extreme events, ground movement outside reasonable control, or alterations by third parties. We also provide care guidance, such as curing times for concrete and best practice for anchoring the shed to the base.
We install concrete bases (including reinforced options), paving slab bases on a compacted sub-base, plastic grid bases for permeable support, and timber bases where appropriate. The best choice depends on shed size, intended use, drainage and budget. We’ll measure your shed footprint, confirm the manufacturer’s requirements, and recommend edge details and falls. If you’re planning electrics or a path connection, we can factor that in too.
