Shed assembly London
Garden sheds and workshops built and anchored across all 33 London boroughs, from a 6x4ft store on an existing slab to a 10x8ft workshop with double doors. Frames are squared and braced before the roof goes on, felt or shingle is lapped to the manufacturer's pattern, and ground anchors or wall straps are fitted as standard in the terraced, wind-funnelled gardens common across the capital.
London pricing
| Job | London from | Typical time | Why the London price differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready | £140 | 2–3 hrs | A one-piece or simple panel shed on an existing slab, framed, roofed and felted in a single morning. |
| Medium shed 8x6ft, base ready | £220 | 3–5 hrs | More panels and a ridged roof need more bracing before the structure is rigid enough to felt safely. |
| Large shed or workshop 10x8ft+, base ready | £320 | 5–7 hrs | Heavier framing, usually double doors and a window, and typically a two-person lift for the roof panels. |
| Paving-slab base, per m² | £45 | By area | Compacted hardcore and a sand bed laid to a slight fall so water runs away from the shed floor rather than pooling under it. |
| Timber bearer base on an existing hard surface | £85 | 2–3 hrs | Pressure-treated bearers levelled and packed to keep the shed floor off standing water without needing a full slab. |
| Anchor kit for an exposed or elevated garden | £60 | 45–60 min | Ground anchors or wall straps fitted so the shed doesn't lift in a gust funnelled between two terraces. |

Working in London
A row of terraced gardens in boroughs like Lewisham, Ealing and Waltham Forest can channel wind between two rows of houses harder than an open plot would, and a shed anchored only with the fixings supplied in the kit is the one we're most often called back to after a storm.
We fit ground anchors or wall straps as standard on every build in an exposed or elevated garden, rather than leave it to the manufacturer's minimum hardware.
Most garden sheds fall under permitted development if they sit under 2.5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary, and the total footprint of all outbuildings stays under half the garden — limits that a modest London garden reaches faster than a suburban plot with more room.
We check a build against both limits before it's ordered, and flag anything that looks close so it can be resolved before a kit turns up too big for the plot.
Sheds built straight onto bare soil or patchy grass in a small rear garden are the ones we see rotting from the floor up within a couple of winters, since damp wicks straight into untreated timber joists.
Where there's no existing hard base, we lay a paving-slab or timber-bearer base to a slight fall before the shed goes up, rather than build on ground that will hold water against the floor.
Many London terraces only reach the rear garden through a narrow side return or through the house itself, which changes how panels and roof struts are carried in and can add time compared with a house with direct rear access.
We check access at booking so the right crew size — one fitter for a small shed, two for anything over 8x6ft or needing a two-person roof lift — is on site from the start.

London questions
A small shed up to 6x4ft on an existing base starts at £140, a medium 8x6ft shed from £220, and a large shed or workshop 10x8ft or bigger from £320. A base, where you don't already have one, is priced separately.
Usually not, provided it stays under 2.5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and the total of all outbuildings stays under half the garden. Many smaller London gardens push close to that second limit, which we check before booking rather than after the kit is built.
Yes. A paving-slab base is £45 per m², or a timber bearer base from £85 where a full slab isn't needed. Both are laid to a slight fall so water runs away from the shed floor.
Not once anchored. Terraced London gardens can funnel wind between houses more than an open plot would, so we fit ground anchors or wall straps as standard rather than rely on the kit's own fixings.
One fitter for a small shed on a ready base. Two fitters for anything over 8x6ft, or where roof panels need lifting together, or where access to the garden is tight.
Yes, all off-cuts and packaging are removed as part of the visit.
Yes — we lay a paving-slab or timber-bearer base first so the shed floor isn't sitting on bare soil or grass, which is what causes early floor rot in an untreated build.
A small shed on a ready base typically takes 2–3 hours, a medium shed 3–5 hours, and a large shed or workshop 5–7 hours, longer again if a base is being laid on the same visit.

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw! Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time. Our only criticism is that we needed a few items disassembled to get on the… Read in full →
