Constructing shed bases in Tooting requires understanding the area's mix of clay soils and Victorian-era ground conditions. Between Furzedown's larger plots and the tighter spaces near Tooting Bec station, every garden presents distinct foundation requirements. Years of working with SW17's varied terrain has taught us which base types suit different garden layouts.
Ground preparation begins with assessing drainage patterns common to South London clay. Excavation depths vary depending on your garden's history - many Tooting properties sit on former market garden land requiring deeper foundations. Reinforced concrete suits heavier workshops, whilst eco-grid systems work brilliantly for lighter structures on sloping gardens towards Tooting Common.
Local knowledge matters when navigating Wandsworth's building regulations and party wall considerations. Trust comes from successfully completing hundreds of bases across SW17's diverse housing stock.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Standard 8x6ft bases start around £450-600, though Victorian terrace access can add £100-200. Larger 12x10ft workshop foundations typically range £800-1200 depending on ground conditions.
Absolutely - from the Broadway's bustling streets to Furzedown's quieter avenues, we work throughout SW17 including those tricky Victorian side returns.
Most bases take 1-2 days including excavation and curing time. Complex sites near Tooting Bec's tube lines might need 3 days for proper ground stabilisation.
Every base carries decade-long structural integrity protection. This covers settlement issues, frost damage, and water ingress - particularly important given SW17's clay soil movement.
Narrow Victorian passageways are our speciality. We use compact machinery and hand-dig where needed, even managing those 60cm side returns common in older Tooting properties.
