A shed is only as good as what it sits on, especially where space is tight and surfaces need to be precise. We install shed bases across W1, including around Soho Square and Carnaby Street, with a clean, level finish that makes assembly straightforward. Whether you’re adding storage, a bike shed or a compact studio, we size the base to suit. Every build starts with careful preparation so the base performs in all seasons.
Soho properties often combine Georgian townhouses with mansion flats and commercial conversions, which can mean shared courtyards, roof terraces or compact rear gardens. Access routes can be narrow and neighbours close, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our team is used to working around existing paving, basement lightwells and older drainage runs. If you need shed bases in the Soho area for an awkward footprint, we’ll set out accurately and keep edges neat.
We survey levels, confirm the shed footprint, then excavate and compact a solid sub-base before laying your chosen system. Drainage is built in where needed, with falls and permeable options to reduce standing water. You’ll get clear communication on timings, materials and aftercare, plus tidy working practices. Homeowners choose us for shed bases in City of Westminster because the finish is precise and the base stays stable year after year.
Soho jobs often involve restricted access, timed deliveries and careful waste handling, especially near Leicester Square and Fitzrovia. We plan around parking controls and loading restrictions and can use smaller loads where required. Ground conditions can vary between older made-ground and compacted courtyard build-ups, so we assess and build the right sub-base depth. For shared boundaries, we keep lines crisp and work considerately.

Costs depend on base type, size, access and excavation depth. As a guide, small plastic grid bases often start around £250–£600 supplied and fitted, while paving slab bases are commonly £450–£1,200. Concrete bases typically range from £700–£2,000+ depending on thickness, reinforcement and spoil removal. Tight W1 access, stairs or timed deliveries can add to labour and logistics.
Most shed bases are completed in 1 day for small to medium sizes, especially slab or grid systems. Concrete bases may take 1–2 days to install, plus curing time before placing the shed (often 48–72 hours, longer in cold weather). Timescales change with excavation depth, waste removal, access constraints, and whether we’re correcting uneven ground or adding drainage falls.
In many cases, a shed and its base fall under permitted development, particularly in rear gardens, but rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas and flats with shared land. City of Westminster also has strict requirements around works affecting neighbours and boundaries. We’ll flag likely constraints, advise on base height and drainage, and recommend checking with the council or managing agent where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for shed bases we install, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect levels. It also covers defects in installation that lead to rocking slabs or an uneven platform. The warranty doesn’t cover movement from external factors like tree roots, flooding, or changes made by others after completion. We’ll explain care and loading limits clearly.
We install concrete bases for maximum rigidity, paving slab bases for a smart modular finish, plastic grid bases for permeable, quick installs, and timber bases where a raised structure suits the site. We can build to any size, including narrow footprints for courtyards. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, drainage needs, access, and whether you want a flush threshold or a slightly raised edge.
