Overview
Shed assembly in Greenwich SE10, explained
This page prices shed assembly for Greenwich SE10 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 31% privately rented and 17,397 households in total. Work starts at £140, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How shed assembly works in Greenwich
Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE10, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — measured on the walk in from Cutty Sark (DLR) rather than assumed from a map 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 Greenwich customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Greenwich wall.
Greenwich walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 17,397 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Greenwich stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark.
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.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together. Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.
Fixed prices
Shed assembly prices in Greenwich
Fixed prices for SE10 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Greenwich
The same scope across SE10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Greenwich: kit checked against the manual and the panel list before the first screw goes in, sized for the cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access
- On SE10 jobs: frame squared and braced before roof panels go on, so doors don't bind later, shed assembly included
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: felt or shingle roofing lapped and nailed to the manufacturer's pattern, with 17,397 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Anchoring or ground pins fitted as standard in exposed gardens, checked on every SE10 visit
Not included
- Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job, outside the fixed price on Greenwich bookings
- Electrical supply to the shed, which needs a registered electrician for the armoured cable and consumer unit work, and we will say so before the SE10 visit rather than on the day
- Party wall or boundary consent where a shed sits within 2m of a neighbour's fence and exceeds the height limit, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

Greenwich SE10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich — the numbers that actually change a shed assembly quote.
In Greenwich (SE10) the split is 73% flats to 27% houses over 17,397 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
Because 31% of Greenwich is privately rented and 29% socially rented, a lot of SE10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 17,397 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Greenwich is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Greenwich stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark.
Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — world Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill — which is why a SE10 quote is not a Greenwich average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. Cutty Sark (DLR) 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.

Common questions
Shed assembly in Greenwich SE10 — your questions.
How much does shed assembly cost in Greenwich SE10?
Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready starts at £140 in Greenwich for Greenwich (SE10) addresses, with 73% of homes here being flats, 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 on Greenwich bookings — and 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented, with 27% of Greenwich homes being houses.
Do I need permission for a shed in my Greenwich SE10 garden?
5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden on the Greenwich rounds, with 73% of homes here being flats. Many gardens in Greenwich are small enough that a large shed pushes close to that limit — we check before booking rather than after the kit is built on Greenwich bookings — and 40% owner-occupation locally, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
Can you build a shed base as well as the shed in SE10?
Yes — a paving-slab base is £45/m², with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, or a timber bearer base from £85 where a full slab isn't needed on SE10 jobs. With 27% of Greenwich homes being houses with a garden, most jobs here are base-plus-build in one visit on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with 17,397 households on this patch.
Will the shed blow over in an exposed Greenwich garden?
Not once anchored. Terraced gardens funnel wind between the houses more than an open plot does — and 29% social-rented stock nearby, so we fit ground anchors or wall straps as standard rather than leave it to the kit's own fixings on SE10 jobs, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, which is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Greenwich stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark on unanchored builds we're called back to.
What is not included in shed assembly in Greenwich?
Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job; Electrical supply to the shed around Cutty Sark (DLR) — and 40% owner-occupation locally, with The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away, 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 Greenwich SE10 price you agree is the price you pay across SE10, with 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented.
Who books shed assembly in Greenwich SE10 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 31% of Greenwich privately rented and 40% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Greenwich bookings — and this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR), with 73% of homes here being flats.
How quickly can you reach Greenwich from your Greenwich round?
The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark is the marker we route to on SE10 jobs, with 17,397 households on this patch — and The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away, and cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. A SE10 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Cutty Sark (DLR), with 32% one-person households here.
