A shed is only as good as what it sits on, so we build bases that stay level through every season. We install concrete bases, paving slab bases, plastic grid bases and timber bases, all sized to suit your shed and access. Working near Streatham Hill station and along Christchurch Road, we’re used to tight side returns and shared pathways. Expect clean edges, sound preparation and a finish that makes assembly straightforward.
Homes around Streatham Hill often include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, each with different garden layouts and ground build-ups. In the shed bases streatham hill area, we regularly deal with sloping lawns, old patio layers and compacted subsoil from previous works. We plan base levels to suit your door threshold and surrounding paths, so water doesn’t sit against the shed. If you’re in Streatham, Tulse Hill or West Norwood, we can match the base to the style of your garden and existing paving.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and agree the best base type for your shed and budget. Preparation includes excavation, a compacted sub-base, edging where needed, and drainage considerations to reduce pooling after heavy rain. We work tidily, remove spoil, and keep you updated on timings from day one. Local homeowners choose us for clear quotes, consistent workmanship, and shed bases in London Borough of Lambeth that are built to last.
Gardens near Telford Park and the Streatham Hill Theatre often have changes in level and older ground layers under turf or patios. We adapt the sub-base depth and compaction to suit the soil and any previous hardstanding. Access can be narrow on terrace plots, so we plan materials and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where parking is limited, we schedule deliveries and collections to keep the job moving.

Costs vary by size, base type and how much preparation is needed. As a guide, small paving slab or plastic grid bases often start around £350–£800, while timber bases typically range £450–£1,000 depending on framing and supports. Concrete bases commonly fall between £700–£1,800+ for larger sheds, especially where excavation, spoil removal, or tricky access is involved. We’ll measure up and provide a clear, itemised quote.
Most shed bases are completed in 1 day, especially slab, grid or smaller timber options. Concrete bases may take 1–2 days for groundworks and pouring, plus curing time before the shed is fixed down (often 24–72 hours depending on weather and mix). Timescales can change with poor ground, steep slopes, restricted access, or if we’re removing old paving and disposing of spoil.
In many cases, a shed and its base fall under permitted development, especially when it’s in the rear garden and within height limits. However, rules can differ for flats, mansion conversions, listed buildings, and properties in conservation areas. Drainage and boundary positions can also matter. We’ll flag any potential issues during the visit and can advise what to check with Lambeth before work starts, so you avoid problems later.
Yes. Our shed bases come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation or poor compaction. It also covers failures in the installed base structure (for example, loose slabs due to incorrect bedding or unstable sub-base). The warranty doesn’t cover movement caused by external factors like leaking drains, tree root heave, or changes made by others after completion. We’ll explain care tips at handover.
We install concrete bases for maximum rigidity, paving slab bases for a neat, cost-effective finish, plastic grid bases for fast installation and good drainage, and timber bases where a raised or ventilated structure is preferable. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, intended use (storage, workshop, gym), ground conditions and access. We can also add edging, adjust levels to meet paths, and plan falls to manage rainwater.
