A shed is only as good as what it sits on, especially with the mixed ground conditions around SW19. We install robust bases that prevent rocking, damp and door misalignment, whether your garden backs onto Wimbledon Common or sits closer to Wimbledon Village High Street. From compact tool stores to large workshops, we create a clean, level platform ready for installation. Every base is sized to your shed footprint with the right edge detail and fall for drainage.
Homes in Wimbledon Village include large detached houses, Georgian properties and luxury apartments with landscaped communal gardens. These spaces often need a tidy finish that complements premium planting and paving, not a quick fix. We regularly work across the shed bases Wimbledon Village area, including Southfields and Putney Heath, where access routes and garden levels vary widely. Our team plans the base to suit your property style, garden layout and intended shed use.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and confirm the best base type for your shed and soil. Preparation includes excavation, a compacted sub-base, weed control membrane where appropriate, and a level finish with consistent falls to move water away. You’ll get clear options, a written scope, and tidy workmanship from start to finish. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, neat edges, and results that stay true for years.
Gardens near Cannizaro Park and Wimbledon Common can have tree roots, shaded areas and variable soil moisture, so we tailor excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. Parking and access can be restricted on narrower roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary walls, steps and side returns common in SW19 plots. For clients wanting shed bases in London Borough of Merton, we work to practical drainage and surface standards while keeping finishes discreet and premium.

Costs depend on size, base type and ground preparation. As a guide, small paving slab bases often start around £350–£750, while medium concrete bases are commonly £900–£1,800. Larger or deeper builds (poor ground, significant excavation, or difficult access) can be £2,000–£4,000+. We’ll confirm measurements, spoil removal needs and drainage requirements before providing a detailed, itemised quote.
Most shed bases are completed in 1 day for slab or plastic grid systems, and 1–2 days for concrete depending on excavation and access. Concrete then needs curing time before heavy loading, typically 48–72 hours for light use and longer in cold weather. Timelines can extend if there are roots, steep levels, restricted barrow access, or if you want edging and drainage added.
In many cases, a shed base is permitted development when it’s part of a typical garden outbuilding and doesn’t create a raised platform that materially changes ground levels. However, rules can vary for listed buildings, flats with communal grounds, conservation considerations, or if drainage affects neighbouring land. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise what to check with Merton or your managing agent before work begins.
Yes. Our shed base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and structural performance of the base, including levels and stability under normal shed use. It also covers issues caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or compaction. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party alterations, extreme ground movement outside normal conditions, or problems caused by a shed installed incorrectly. We’ll provide care guidance after completion.
We install concrete bases for maximum strength, paving slab bases for a clean modular finish, plastic grid bases for fast-draining, low-dig solutions, and timber bases where a raised, ventilated platform suits the shed design. We’ll help you choose based on shed weight, intended use (storage vs workshop), drainage, and access for materials. Edge details, falls and optional drainage channels can be included for a sharper finish.
