Overview
Shed assembly in Welling DA16, explained
Shed assembly in Welling DA16 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bexley, most of them inter-war. 3,815 households sit inside this DA16 patch, 19% of them flats, so we quote on access near Danson Park and Danson House rather than a London average.
How it works
How shed assembly works in Welling
Five steps, the same on every DA16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Welling gives us inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Check the base and the plot
Base checked for level and size, and the shed's height and position checked against the garden's remaining permitted development allowance.
Step 2
Unpack and count
Panels, roof struts and fixings checked against the parts list — a shed with a bent panel or a short bag of screws is found before the frame goes up, not halfway through.
Step 3
Frame and square
Floor and wall panels built up and squared before the roof goes on, since an out-of-square frame is what makes doors stick.
Step 4
Roof and weatherproof
Roof panels fitted, felt or shingle lapped correctly and any window or vent sealed.
Step 5
Anchor and finish
Ground anchors or wall straps fitted in exposed gardens, doors hung and eased, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
Why Welling customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Welling wall.
Booked around your day
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Welling (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Welling walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — and driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays in DA16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in DA16, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Insured and documented
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover. Most garden sheds fall under permitted development if they sit under 2.5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and the total of all outbuildings stays under 50% of the garden — we flag it if a build looks close to either limit rather than assume it is fine.
Fixed prices
Shed assembly prices in Welling
Fixed prices for DA16 and the rest of Bexley. Shed size and whether the base already exists. A slab or bearer base adds a separate charge but saves the shed floor from sitting on wet grass or bare soil through its first winter.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 morning. |
| Medium shed 8x6ft, base ready | £220 | 3–5 hrs | More panels and a ridged roof mean more bracing before the structure is rigid enough to felt. |
| Large shed or workshop 10x8ft+, base ready | £320 | 5–7 hrs | Heavier framing, often double doors and a window, and usually a two-person lift for the roof panels. |
| Paving-slab base, per m² | £45 | By area | Compacted hardcore and a sand bed under the slabs, laid to a slight fall so water runs away from the shed floor. |
| 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 a full slab. |
| Anchor kit for an exposed or elevated garden | £60 | 45–60 min | Ground anchors or wall straps fitted so the shed does not lift in a gust funnelled between two terraces. |

Prices are labour to build the kit you supply, on a base that is level and ready. Roofing felt, fixings and standard anchor kits are included; a bespoke concrete base is quoted separately by the m². We flag before booking where a build looks close to the 2.5m eaves height or 50%-of-garden permitted development limits so you can check before ordering. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised.
Scope
What's included in Welling
The same scope across DA16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Kit checked against the manual and the panel list before the first screw goes in, checked on every DA16 visit
- Standard on Bexley bookings: frame squared and braced before roof panels go on, so doors don't bind later, with 3,815 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On DA16 jobs: felt or shingle roofing lapped and nailed to the manufacturer's pattern, shed assembly included
- In Welling: anchoring or ground pins fitted as standard in exposed gardens, sized for the driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays
Not included
- Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job, and we will say so before the DA16 visit rather than on the day
- Electrical supply to the shed, which needs a registered electrician for the armoured cable and consumer unit work, outside the fixed price on Welling bookings
- Party wall or boundary consent where a shed sits within 2m of a neighbour's fence and exceeds the height limit, which we refer on to the right trade in Welling

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 →

Welling DA16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Welling — the numbers that actually change a shed assembly quote.
The DA16 stock around Danson Park and Danson House is inter-war. ONS records 19% flats, 81% houses and 3,815 households in Welling.
16% of households rent privately and 78% own, which is why shed assembly demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Welling substrates run to cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — and driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in DA16, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a DA16 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Welling knows the pattern near Danson Park and Danson House: a long shopping high street with Danson Park's lake just to the east. We plan the DA16 visit around it. Welling is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays — one reason one fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together. Fitters travelling in use Welling (Southeastern).

Common questions
Shed assembly in Welling DA16 — your questions.
How much does shed assembly cost in Welling DA16?
Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready starts at £140 in Welling on Bexley bookings — and Bexley parking rules in play, with 25% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Shed size and whether the base already exists. A slab or bearer base adds a separate charge but saves the shed floor from sitting on wet grass or bare soil through its first winter for Welling (DA16) addresses — and Danson Park and Danson House a few streets away, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood.
Do I need permission for a shed in my Welling DA16 garden?
5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden in this 19% flats neighbourhood, with 25% one-person households here. Many gardens in Welling are small enough that a large shed pushes close to that limit — we check before booking rather than after the kit is built on Bexley bookings — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, with Bexley parking rules in play.
Can you build a shed base as well as the shed in DA16?
Yes — a paving-slab base is £45/m², with this being a short walk from Welling (Southeastern), or a timber bearer base from £85 where a full slab isn't needed on this side of Bexley. With 81% of Welling homes being houses with a garden, most jobs here are base-plus-build in one visit across DA16, with 16% of DA16 homes being privately rented.
Will the shed blow over in an exposed Welling garden?
Not once anchored. Terraced gardens funnel wind between the houses more than an open plot does on Bexley bookings, with 3,815 households on this patch — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, so we fit ground anchors or wall straps as standard rather than leave it to the kit's own fixings, which is in DA16, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded on unanchored builds we're called back to.
Are your fitters insured for work in DA16?
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover. 5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and the total of all outbuildings stays under 50% of the garden — we flag it if a build looks close to either limit rather than assume it is fine on DA16 jobs — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Bexley territory. That paperwork is what most Bexley letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the Welling rounds, with 19% of homes here being flats.
What is not included in shed assembly in Welling?
Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job; Electrical supply to the shed in this 19% flats neighbourhood — and 25% one-person households here, with 81% of Welling homes being houses, which needs a registered electrician for the armoured cable and consumer unit work; Party wall or boundary consent where a shed sits within 2m of a neighbour's fence and exceeds the height limit. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Welling DA16 price you agree is the price you pay on Bexley bookings, with Danson Park and Danson House a few streets away.
Who books shed assembly in Welling DA16 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 16% of Welling privately rented and 78% owner-occupied, roughly half the DA16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Welling — and 16% of DA16 homes being privately rented, with this being a short walk from Welling (Southeastern).
