A solid base is the difference between a shed that lasts and one that twists, leaks and sticks. We build shed bases across SE11, including homes near The Oval cricket ground and Kennington Park. Every base is set out accurately, finished level, and designed to keep the structure dry and stable. Whether you’re replacing an old base or starting from scratch, we handle the full preparation.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often come with compact gardens and shared access routes. That means careful planning for materials delivery, waste removal and protecting existing paving and planting. We’re used to working around tight side returns in Kennington and busier streets near Oval tube station. Our shed bases oval area service is tailored to the realities of Zone 1/2 properties.
We start with a site visit to check levels, soil conditions and drainage routes, then recommend the best base type for your shed and budget. Ground preparation is done properly: excavation, sub-base, compaction and edge restraint where needed. You’ll get clear communication, tidy working practices and a finish ready for immediate installation. Local homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship and a 10-year warranty on our base construction.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, gardens can have mixed ground—made-up soil, clay pockets and old rubble from previous works. We assess bearing strength, set falls for runoff, and avoid water pooling against walls and fences. Access can be restricted around Kennington, Vauxhall and Stockwell, so we plan deliveries and removal to minimise disruption. Where parking is controlled, we’ll advise on timing and practical options before work begins.

Costs depend on size, base type and how much excavation is needed. In Oval, a small paving-slab base often starts around £350–£700, while a reinforced concrete base for a larger shed is commonly £900–£1,800+. Plastic grid bases can be cost-effective for lighter sheds, typically £450–£1,100. If access is tight or spoil removal is heavy, allow extra for labour and disposal.
Most shed bases take 1 day for smaller slab or grid systems, and 1–2 days for larger builds with deeper preparation. Concrete bases are usually poured in a day, but you should allow curing time before placing a heavy shed—often 48–72 hours, longer in cold weather. Timescales vary with access in SE11, the amount of excavation, and whether we’re correcting significant level differences.
A shed base is usually part of permitted development when it supports a typical garden shed, but rules can change depending on shed height, location near boundaries, and whether the property is listed. Some mansion flats also have lease restrictions for external works. We’ll talk through the setup, check practical constraints, and advise if you should confirm details with the London Borough of Lambeth before installation.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our shed base construction, covering workmanship issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect levels. It also covers structural integrity of the installed base materials (as specified in your quote). The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party alterations, extreme ground movement outside normal conditions, or issues caused by an incorrectly assembled shed.
We install concrete bases for maximum stability, paving slab bases for flexibility and easy replacement, plastic grid bases for fast-draining lightweight sheds, and timber bases where raised ventilation is needed. We can include edging, step-ups, or a slightly raised threshold to help keep water out. We’ll recommend the best option based on shed weight, garden levels, drainage needs, and access constraints around SE11.
