Those charming Victorian terraces around Wallington Green weren't built with modern garden sheds in mind. Getting a level, lasting foundation for your outdoor building requires understanding our local clay soil challenges - something we've mastered through years of working in SM6 gardens.

Wallington's mix of housing, from Edwardian semis near Roundshaw to newer developments off Woodcote Road, presents unique ground conditions for shed installations. Clay soil movement, particularly noticeable during our wet winters, can wreak havoc on poorly prepared bases. A properly constructed foundation prevents your shed from twisting, doors jamming, and that frustrating lean that develops after just one season.
Building regulations might not require permits for standard shed bases, but getting the depth right matters enormously here. Excavating below the frost line - typically 450mm in SM6 - then adding hardcore and membrane before your chosen surface creates stability that lasts. Whether you're storing bikes for rides through Beddington Park or housing garden tools, that solid platform makes all the difference to longevity.
Twenty years of tackling sloped gardens from Carshalton borders to properties backing onto Mellows Park means we've seen every drainage puzzle SM6 can throw up. Your shed base isn't just concrete and calculations - it's local knowledge applied practically.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most SM6 homeowners invest between £400-£800 for a standard 8x6 base, though larger summerhouse foundations or tricky slopes near Purley Way can push costs toward £1,200.
Absolutely - from tight spots in SM6's Victorian streets to spacious plots near Coulsdon, we've navigated every garden configuration Wallington offers.
Weather permitting, most Wallington installations complete within 2-3 days, including cure time for concrete options.
Each base carries decade-long protection against settlement or structural failure - peace of mind that outlasts most sheds themselves.
Certainly - matching Indian sandstone popular in newer Wallington estates or working around existing York stone paths is standard practice for us.
