A well-built shed base stops doors sticking, floors warping and water pooling after heavy rain. We install shed bases across SW1, working around compact gardens and shared access found near Dolphin Square and St George's Square. Every base is set out accurately to your shed footprint, with a crisp, level finish. You get a foundation that suits your shed and the way you use the space.
Pimlico homes range from Regency townhouses to mansion blocks and period conversions, often with courtyards, terraces and neatly planned rear gardens. These properties can have tight side returns, steps and limited storage space for materials, so logistics matter as much as workmanship. We’re used to protecting paving, railings and planting while we work. If your garden is overlooked or bordered by neighbouring walls, we’ll also plan drainage and edges carefully to avoid damp issues.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and confirm the best base type for your shed and ground conditions. Preparation includes excavation where needed, a compacted sub-base, and falls or drainage details to move water away. Our team keeps the site tidy and communicates timings clearly, with straightforward options and no guesswork. Fine Landscaping backs workmanship with a 10-year warranty, which is why homeowners across Westminster and Victoria recommend us.
Shed bases pimlico area often involve restricted access, resident parking controls and careful waste removal, especially around Pimlico tube station and SW1 streets. We plan deliveries to minimise disruption and use methods suited to tight side passages and courtyard gardens. Ground can vary from older made-up layers to compacted soils, so we assess stability before building up the sub-base. For shed bases in City of Westminster, we also keep an eye on boundary lines, drainage routes and shared walls common in mansion blocks.

Costs depend on size, base type and how much excavation is required. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start from around £350–£700, while concrete bases are commonly £650–£1,500+. Plastic grid bases can be £450–£1,100 depending on ground preparation. Difficult access, skip permits, removal of old concrete, and drainage details can increase the overall price.
Most shed bases take 1 day for straightforward slab or grid installations, and 1–2 days for concrete depending on excavation and curing requirements. Larger bases, awkward access through a property, or extensive levelling can extend the schedule. We’ll confirm timings after measuring up and checking the ground. If concrete is used, we’ll advise when it’s safe to place the shed on top.
In many cases, a shed base is classed as permitted development, particularly when it’s within your garden and doesn’t significantly alter levels or drainage. However, Pimlico properties can be in conservation areas, and flats may have lease restrictions. We’ll flag any likely issues and recommend checks with the City of Westminster guidance where needed. If a skip or parking bay suspension is required, we can help plan that too.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for shed base installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect levels. It also includes defects in laying that lead to rocking slabs or uneven finishes. The warranty doesn’t cover movement from external factors like tree root heave, flooding, or changes made by others after completion. We’ll explain care and loading advice to keep your base performing well.
We install concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for flexibility and easy repairs, plastic grid bases for fast-draining, low-dig solutions, and timber bases where a raised, ventilated platform suits the shed. We can add edging, adjust falls for runoff, and match finishes to existing paving. After assessing your garden levels and access, we’ll recommend the most practical option for durability, drainage and budget.
