Costs depend on size, base type and how much excavation is needed. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £350–£700, while concrete bases are commonly £650–£1,500+. Plastic grid bases can be £450–£1,200 depending on aggregate and edging. Larger sheds, poor ground, long barrow runs or removing an old base will increase the budget. We provide a clear written estimate after measuring.
Most shed bases are completed in 1 day, with larger or more complex builds taking 2–3 days. Concrete bases may need extra curing time before the shed is installed, typically 24–72 hours depending on weather and thickness. Timescales are affected by access, excavation depth, waste removal, and whether we’re building up levels or adding drainage. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule during the site visit.
