A solid base is the difference between a shed that lasts and one that twists, leaks or sinks. Fine Landscaping installs shed bases Peckham area homeowners can rely on, with a level finish and neat edges. We regularly work near Peckham Rye Park and around Queen’s Road, where garden access and ground levels can vary. Whatever the shed size, we prepare the ground properly so doors open cleanly and the floor stays dry.
Peckham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses often means narrow side returns, stepped gardens and tight working spaces. In Nunhead and East Dulwich, we commonly see older paving, made-up ground and tree roots that need sensible solutions. Our team plans base depth, sub-base build-up and drainage to suit the property and the shed’s intended use. From bike storage to workshops, we match the base to the load and layout.
We start with a site visit, measure up, and recommend the best base type for your shed and budget. Preparation includes excavation, compacted sub-base, accurate levels and drainage considerations to reduce standing water. You’ll get clear communication, tidy workmanship and a finish ready for immediate installation. Homeowners choose us for shed bases in London Borough of Southwark because we turn up, do it right, and stand by our work.
Gardens in the London Borough of Southwark often have mixed ground from older landscaping and extensions, so we don’t assume what’s underneath. In SE15 we also plan for restricted access, shared alleys and parking constraints, keeping deliveries and waste removal organised. Where gardens fall away or sit against boundary walls, we set accurate levels and include drainage details to avoid water pooling. The result is a base that suits the property style and the way you use the space.

Costs depend on size, base type and how much excavation is needed. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £250–£500, while larger or heavier-duty builds can be £600–£1,200+. Concrete bases typically range from £450–£1,500+ depending on thickness and access. Timber or plastic grid bases can be cost-effective where drainage is key. We’ll confirm a range after measuring and checking ground conditions.
Most shed base installs take 1 day for small to medium sizes, especially paving slab or plastic grid bases. Larger bases, significant excavation, or awkward access can push this to 2 days. Concrete bases may need additional curing time before the shed is installed, usually a few days depending on weather. Timescales also vary with steps, slopes, removal of old bases, and whether you need extra drainage or edging.
In many cases, a shed base is permitted development and won’t need planning permission, particularly when it’s within a typical rear garden and not raising ground levels significantly. However, rules can change if the shed is large, close to boundaries, in a conservation area, or if drainage affects neighbouring properties. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you check Southwark guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our shed base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including levels, stability and the integrity of the base build-up when used as intended. It also covers issues caused by poor preparation, such as settlement from inadequate compaction. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from extreme impacts, unauthorised alterations, or problems caused by the shed itself being incorrectly installed. We’ll explain care and loading limits clearly.
We install concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for a tidy modular finish, plastic grid bases for excellent drainage, and timber bases where a raised, ventilated platform suits the garden. We can add edging, adjust heights for thresholds, and build to any shed footprint. During the visit we’ll consider access, soil, slope and intended use (storage vs workshop) to recommend the most practical option for your Peckham garden.
