Camden · NW1 · Shed assembly
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Primrose Hill fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide shed assembly in Primrose Hill NW1 for houses and flats around Primrose Hill summit. From £140, quoted in writing before the visit, with one fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together The base is checked for level before the first panel is stood up.
Overview
Shed assembly in Primrose Hill NW1 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Camden, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,616 households sit inside this NW1 patch, 80% of them flats, so we quote on access near Primrose Hill summit rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1
Base checked for level and size, and the shed's height and position checked against the garden's remaining permitted development allowance.
Step 2
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
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 panels fitted, felt or shingle lapped correctly and any window or vent sealed.
Step 5
Ground anchors or wall straps fitted in exposed gardens, doors hung and eased, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Chalk Farm (Northern), five minutes down Regent's Park Road is the nearest station, so a NW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Chalk Farm (Northern), five minutes down Regent's Park Road rather than assumed from a map in NW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Primrose Hill gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Primrose Hill actually produces.
Fitters carry £1m 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.
One fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together. Very narrow streets, resident bays all week and steep basement stairs on nearly every terrace.
Fixed prices
| 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
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
Sultan assembled our new wardrobe. Really good service. Was also able to find clearance through them. Both services were good
I booked the services for putting together some new bedroom furniture. This was agreed for 3 pm. I got a call at 3pm to say they were going to be late and be there at 5, they arrived at 5:30. The workmanship and the guys who fitted it was excellent and they were very friendly… Read in full →

Working in Primrose Hill
3,616 households sit inside the NW1 neighbourhood covering Primrose Hill. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 80% of those homes are flats.
With 32% private renting against 35% owner-occupied, most NW1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Chalk Farm (Northern), five minutes down Regent's Park Road rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Primrose Hill is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Primrose Hill gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Primrose Hill actually produces.
Primrose Hill sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — pastel terraces around the hill with the best skyline view in north London — which is why a NW1 quote is not a Camden average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: very narrow streets, resident bays all week and steep basement stairs on nearly every terrace. Chalk Farm (Northern), five minutes down Regent's Park Road is the nearest station, and one fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together.
