A shed is only as good as the base beneath it, especially in busy W11 gardens where space is tight and levels can be deceptive. We install shed bases that stay flat, drain well and support everything from compact bike stores to larger workshops. Working near Portobello Road Market and Notting Hill Gate, we’re used to narrow access and careful scheduling. Expect clean preparation, accurate setting-out and a finish that looks smart from day one.
Notting Hill homes often feature pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and mews houses with courtyards or compact rear gardens. These properties can have mixed ground build-ups from historic landscaping, plus mature planting that needs protecting. We tailor base depth, edging and drainage to suit your layout, whether you’re in Holland Park, Bayswater or close to Ladbroke Grove. The result is a base that fits your shed footprint precisely and keeps doors opening smoothly.
We start with a site visit to check levels, access and where water naturally runs. Then we prepare the ground, install the chosen base system, and finish to a true level with proper falls where needed. We keep disruption low, remove spoil responsibly and leave the area ready for immediate shed installation. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable timings and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access can be restricted by mews lanes, controlled parking and timed deliveries. We plan materials and waste removal to minimise disruption and avoid unnecessary trips. Gardens around W11 can sit over compacted made ground, old patios or tree roots, so we assess stability and drainage before building up the base. If you’re near the Carnival route or busy streets, we can schedule works to suit local events and footfall.

Costs depend on base type, size, excavation depth and access. As a guide, paving slab bases often start around £450–£900 for small to medium sheds, while concrete bases commonly range from £800–£1,800+. Plastic grid bases can be £500–£1,200 depending on sub-base prep, and timber bases vary widely (£600–£1,500+) based on frame and ground conditions. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site check.
Most shed bases take 1 day to install once access is clear and materials are on site. Larger bases or those needing significant excavation, retaining edges or drainage can take 2–3 days. Concrete bases may need additional curing time before the shed is fixed down, typically 24–72 hours depending on weather and thickness. Timescales are also affected by narrow access, waste removal logistics and existing patio removal.
In many cases, a shed base is permitted development as part of normal garden works, provided the shed and its location meet height and boundary rules. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, and certain front garden or drainage changes. We’ll ask the right questions at survey stage and can advise what to check with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. If needed, we’ll help you confirm requirements before work starts.
