A shed is only as good as what it sits on, especially in busy SW9 gardens where space is tight and access matters. We install shed bases that keep doors aligned, floors dry and panels square. From plots near Stockwell tube station to gardens by Stockwell Park, we tailor the base to your shed size and ground conditions. Expect a clean, level finish with tidy edges and sensible drainage.
Stockwell has a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates, each with different garden layouts and ground build-ups. Rear access can be narrow, and many properties have old paving, compacted soil or uneven levels from previous works. We’re used to working around steps, basement lightwells and shared side returns. If you’re in Brixton, Oval or Clapham, we can match the base style to your garden and budget.
We start with a site check, measure your shed footprint, then recommend the right base type and thickness. Preparation includes excavation where needed, compacted sub-base, accurate levelling and drainage considerations so water doesn’t sit under the shed. We keep disruption low, remove spoil responsibly and leave the area ready for immediate installation. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Lambeth, gardens often sit on mixed made ground with pockets of clay that hold water. In Stockwell, we plan for tight access, resident parking controls and careful material handling through side passages. We also account for existing patio falls and neighbouring boundaries so runoff is managed sensibly. That’s why many clients ask for shed bases in the Stockwell area that are properly prepared, not just laid on soil.

Costs vary by size, access and base type. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £250–£500, while larger or heavier-duty slab layouts can be £600–£1,200. Concrete bases typically range from £700–£1,800 depending on thickness, reinforcement and excavation. Plastic grid bases can be £350–£900. We’ll confirm after a quick site visit and measurements.
Most shed bases take 1 day from ground prep to finished surface, especially paving slab, grid or timber bases. Concrete bases can take 1 day to pour, then need curing time before placing the shed—often 2–7 days depending on weather and load. Timescales depend on excavation depth, waste removal, access through the property, and whether we’re matching levels to an existing patio or path.
In most cases, a shed base in a rear garden is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, provided the shed itself meets height and placement rules. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, flats/estates, or if drainage changes affect neighbouring land. We’ll flag any concerns during the survey and can advise on permeable options and sensible falls to help meet local requirements.
Yes. Our shed base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including stability, levels and the integrity of the constructed base (such as sub-base preparation and bedding). It doesn’t cover damage from external factors like tree roots, flooding beyond normal conditions, or moving the shed after installation. We also provide care guidance so the base performs well for years.
We install concrete bases for heavy sheds and workshops, paving slab bases for practical, cost-effective support, plastic grid bases for permeable, quick installs, and timber bases where a raised, ventilated platform suits the site. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, ground conditions, drainage needs and access. Finishes can include neat edging, step-ups, and falls to direct water away.
