Hillingdon · UB10 · Shed assembly
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Ickenham fitters · Fixed written pricesIckenham UB10 is a regular stop on our Hillingdon round. A village green with a pump and pond, surrounded by interwar housing, 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 Ickenham, shed assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 12% of Ickenham's 2,922 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in UB10 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 timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in UB10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in UB10, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet.
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. Wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet.
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a UB10 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 Ickenham
Census 2021 puts Ickenham at 2,922 households with a median age of 43. The inter-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 88% houses and 12% flats need different handling in UB10.
Owner-occupation runs at 82% in Ickenham, so alongside the 14% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside — and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in UB10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in UB10, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Ickenham: a village green with a pump and pond, surrounded by interwar housing. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Ickenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet — 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 Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly).

Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready starts at £140 in Ickenham on this side of Hillingdon, with 82% owner-occupation locally — and Hillingdon parking rules in play, 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 the streets near Ickenham village pump — and Ickenham village pump a few streets away, with this being London Borough of Hillingdon territory.
5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden across UB10, with 88% of Ickenham homes being houses. Many gardens in Ickenham are small enough that a large shed pushes close to that limit — we check before booking rather than after the kit is built on this side of Hillingdon — and 23% one-person households here, with Ickenham village pump a few streets away.
Yes — a paving-slab base is £45/m², with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood, or a timber bearer base from £85 where a full slab isn't needed across UB10. With 88% of Ickenham homes being houses with a garden, most jobs here are base-plus-build in one visit around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), with this being London Borough of Hillingdon territory.
Not once anchored. Terraced gardens funnel wind between the houses more than an open plot does across UB10, with this being a short walk from Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), so we fit ground anchors or wall straps as standard rather than leave it to the kit's own fixings — and 14% of UB10 homes being privately rented, which is in UB10, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet on unanchored builds we're called back to.
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London on the Ickenham rounds, with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood. Ickenham sits close to Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), with this being London Borough of Hillingdon territory, so we can usually add a UB10 job to an existing Hillingdon round at short notice across UB10.
Wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet on UB10 jobs. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Hillingdon it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near Ickenham village pump — and Hillingdon parking rules in play, with 23% one-person households here.
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 the streets near Ickenham village pump — and a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood, with 12% of homes here being flats. That paperwork is what most Hillingdon letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on UB10 jobs, with 2,922 households on this patch.
