Greenwich · SE9 · Shed assembly
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Eltham fitters · Fixed written pricesEltham SE9 is a regular stop on our Greenwich round. The medieval palace, Art Deco Eltham Palace and streets of 1930s semis, so shed assembly here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £140, in writing, with insured fitters, the frame squared before roofing and anchors fitted where needed.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Eltham, shed assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 27% of Eltham's 13,732 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE9 shape the slot length we hold.
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
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — the pattern behind 13,732 households inside the SE9 neighbourhood in SE9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — with 21% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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.
One fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together. Driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only.
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Eltham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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.

Scope
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 →

Working in Eltham
The SE9 stock around Eltham Palace is mainly Victorian. ONS records 27% flats, 73% houses and 13,732 households in Eltham.
Private renting sits at 15% and owner-occupation at 64%; the first group books shed assembly at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — the pattern behind 13,732 households inside the SE9 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Eltham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — with 21% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Two streets can behave very differently in Eltham: the medieval palace, Art Deco Eltham Palace and streets of 1930s semis. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Eltham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only. Eltham (Southeastern) 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.

Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready starts at £140 in Eltham — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, with 21% social-rented stock nearby, 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 in this 27% flats neighbourhood — and 15% of SE9 homes being privately rented, with Eltham Palace a few streets away.
5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden on the Eltham rounds, with 27% of homes here being flats. Many gardens in Eltham are small enough that a large shed pushes close to that limit — we check before booking rather than after the kit is built for Eltham (SE9) addresses — and 73% of Eltham homes being houses, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
Yes — a paving-slab base is £45/m², with 27% of homes here being flats, or a timber bearer base from £85 where a full slab isn't needed for Eltham (SE9) addresses. With 73% of Eltham homes being houses with a garden, most jobs here are base-plus-build in one visit in Eltham, with Eltham Palace a few streets away.
Not once anchored. Terraced gardens funnel wind between the houses more than an open plot does on this side of Greenwich, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory — and this being a short walk from Eltham (Southeastern), so we fit ground anchors or wall straps as standard rather than leave it to the kit's own fixings, which is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — with 21% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first on unanchored builds we're called back to.
All three. With 15% of Eltham privately rented and 64% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Eltham (Southeastern) — and 27% of homes here being flats, with this being a short walk from Eltham (Southeastern).
Eltham Palace is the marker we route to in Eltham, with Eltham Palace a few streets away, and driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only. A SE9 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Eltham (SE9) addresses, with 15% of SE9 homes being privately rented.
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London for Eltham (SE9) addresses, with Eltham Palace a few streets away. Eltham sits close to Eltham (Southeastern), with 73% of Eltham homes being houses, so we can usually add a SE9 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice in Eltham.
