A shed is only as good as the base beneath it, especially around busy Victoria station where gardens are often compact and access is tight. Fine Landscaping installs shed bases that prevent rocking, sinking and water pooling. We build concrete bases, paving slab bases, plastic grid bases and timber bases to suit your shed, soil and budget. Work is planned to minimise disruption around Victoria Street and nearby residential blocks.
The Victoria area includes mansion blocks, Georgian townhouses and modern apartments, each with different outdoor layouts and constraints. In Pimlico and Belgravia, we often work in small rear gardens, lightwells and paved courtyards that need careful levels and tidy edges. For apartment developments, we can create stable bases for bike sheds and storage units in communal spaces. Our shed bases Victoria area service is designed for central London practicality without compromising on finish.
We start with a site check, measure up, confirm shed size and door clearance, then recommend the best base type. Ground preparation includes excavation where needed, compacted sub-base, accurate levels and drainage considerations to keep water away from the structure. You’ll get clear communication, clean working practices and a crisp, square finish ready for installation. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship and a 10-year warranty on our base installation.
Working in the City of Westminster often means restricted access, tight pathways and controlled parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Around SW1, ground can vary from made-up layers to compacted sub-soils, which is why preparation and compaction matter. We also consider neighbouring walls, basement lightwells and drainage routes common in mansion blocks and townhouses. If needed, we can schedule works to fit building management requirements and quieter hours.

Costs vary by base type, size and access. As a guide, small paving slab or plastic grid bases often start from £350–£750, while larger or heavier-duty slab builds can be £800–£1,500. Concrete bases typically range from £900–£2,500 depending on thickness, reinforcement and excavation. Restricted SW1 access, waste removal and drainage adjustments can affect the final figure.
Most shed bases are completed in 1–2 days, including preparation and a level finish. Plastic grid and slab bases are usually quicker, especially where excavation is minimal. Concrete bases may need additional time for curing before the shed is fixed down, typically 24–72 hours depending on conditions. Size, access near Victoria Street, and whether we’re removing old paving can extend timescales.
In many cases, a shed base is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, provided it’s for a typical garden outbuilding and doesn’t significantly alter ground levels. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, and communal gardens attached to mansion blocks. We’ll flag any likely issues, advise on best practice, and help you check City of Westminster requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our shed base installation, covering workmanship and structural integrity of the base itself. This includes issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction or incorrect levels. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party alterations, flooding events beyond normal conditions, or problems caused by a shed installed incorrectly by others. We’ll explain care tips to keep everything performing well.
We install concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for a neat, modular finish, plastic grid bases for fast-draining, low-dig builds, and timber bases where a raised solution suits the site. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, ground conditions, drainage, and access constraints typical in SW1. Edging details, step-ups and thresholds can be designed to suit doors and pathways.
