A shed is only as good as what it sits on, and uneven ground around Tolworth Broadway can quickly lead to sticking doors and damp floors. We build robust bases sized to your shed, from compact tool stores to larger garden workshops. Whether you’re near Tolworth Tower or closer to Surbiton, we’ll create a clean, level platform that supports the structure properly. Every base is set out accurately so your shed goes up square first time.
Homes across KT5 and KT6 range from 1930s semis with long side access to post-war houses with generous rear gardens and newer developments with tighter footprints. We tailor the base type to the space you have and how you’ll use the shed—storage, bikes, gym, or a hobby room. For smaller gardens we often recommend slimmer build-ups that still deliver strength. For heavier workshops, we’ll specify a stronger sub-base and finish to suit.
Our process starts with a site check, measuring, and discussing the shed’s footprint, door swing and drainage route. We excavate, install the right sub-base, compact in layers, then finish with a precise level surface. You’ll get clear options, tidy working practices, and reliable scheduling from a team that’s only around 30 minutes away. Local homeowners choose us for consistent quality and a base that doesn’t move or puddle after rain.
In the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we often see mixed ground conditions—made-up soil, clay patches and old garden landscaping. Access can be tight on 1930s plots, and we plan barrow routes, delivery points and parking to keep disruption low. Where gardens slope, we build up or cut in to achieve a true level finish. We also consider drainage so water doesn’t run toward patios or neighbouring boundaries.

Costs vary by size, base type and how much excavation is needed. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £350–£650, while larger slab bases may be £700–£1,400. Concrete bases for heavier sheds commonly range from £900–£2,500+. Plastic grid bases can be cost-effective on softer ground, typically £500–£1,600. We’ll confirm after measuring and checking access.
Most shed bases are completed in 1 day, especially paving slab or plastic grid bases for standard sheds. Larger concrete bases may take 1–2 days for groundworks and pouring, plus curing time before the shed is installed (often 2–7 days depending on weather and thickness). Timescales depend on access, spoil removal, ground conditions, and whether drainage or edging is included.
In many cases, a shed and its base fall under permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can change based on shed height, placement near boundaries, listed buildings, and whether you’re in a conservation area. Drainage changes can also matter if you’re altering levels significantly. We’ll flag any likely issues early and can advise what to check with the council before work starts.
Yes. Our shed base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, level failure, or movement due to poor compaction. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party alterations, extreme events, or problems arising from an unsuitable shed build. We also document the base specification so you know exactly what was installed and why.
We install concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for a neat, practical finish, plastic grid bases for permeable support on softer ground, and timber bases where a raised, ventilated platform is preferred. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, intended use, drainage needs and garden access. We can also add edging, falls for runoff, and a slightly oversized base for easier installation.
