A shed is only as good as what it sits on, so we build bases that won’t sink, rock or trap water. We regularly work around SW2, including near Tulse Hill station and Brockwell Park, where gardens vary from compact courtyards to long rear plots. Whether you’re fitting a small tool store or a larger workshop, we size and set out the base precisely. The result is a clean, level platform ready for installation.
Tulse Hill’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and post-war estates often means different access routes, boundary levels and soil conditions from one street to the next. We’re used to side returns, narrow passages and shared access, and we plan deliveries accordingly. If your garden sits higher or lower than the house, we’ll create a stable build-up and tidy edging to suit. Homeowners across Brixton, Herne Hill and West Norwood choose us for bases that look neat and perform properly.
Every job starts with preparation: we excavate to the right depth, compact the sub-base, and set falls where needed for drainage. You can choose from concrete bases, paving slab bases, plastic grid bases or timber bases depending on your shed type and budget. We keep the site organised, remove waste, and leave a crisp finish ready for your shed build. Fine Landscaping is based just 10 minutes away, and our work is backed by a clear 10-year warranty.
We understand the practicalities of working in the London Borough of Lambeth, from resident parking to tight garden access behind terraces. Ground can vary, so we assess whether a deeper sub-base or extra compaction is needed to prevent settlement. Where gardens slope, we set levels carefully so water sheds away from the base. If you’re near Holy Trinity Church or the Tulse Hill Estate, we’ll plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption.

Costs depend on size, access, excavation depth and the base type. As a guide, small paving slab or plastic grid bases often start around £350–£800, while medium bases are commonly £800–£1,600. Concrete bases for larger sheds or workshops are typically £1,200–£2,800+. If removal of old concrete, extra spoil disposal, or retaining edges are needed, the budget can rise.
Most shed bases take 1 day for small to medium sizes, including excavation, sub-base and finishing. Larger bases, difficult access, or significant level changes can take 2–3 days. Concrete bases may also need curing time before the shed is fixed down—often 48–72 hours for light use, longer in cold or wet weather. We’ll confirm timings after a site visit and measurements.
In many cases, a shed and its base fall under permitted development, especially when it’s in the rear garden and within height and boundary rules. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, flats, conservation considerations, or if you’re altering levels significantly or impacting drainage. We’ll flag any potential issues and advise what to check with Lambeth Council before work starts, so you can proceed confidently.
Yes. Our shed bases come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation-related issues such as settlement from inadequate preparation, unevenness caused by poor compaction, or edge failures where we’ve specified and built the detail. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party alterations, extreme impact, or shed defects, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise. We also provide clear aftercare guidance.
We install concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for a neat, practical finish, plastic grid bases for free-draining ground, and timber bases for lightweight sheds where airflow is useful. We can add edging, step-down levels, or a slight fall for drainage depending on the site.
