Overview
Shed assembly in Holland Park W11, explained
Shed assembly in Holland Park W11 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Kensington and Chelsea, most of them period conversion. 3,387 households sit inside this W11 patch, 80% of them flats, so we quote on access near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden rather than a London average.
How it works
How shed assembly works in Holland Park
Five steps, the same on every W11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Holland Park gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, which is what a 80% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Holland Park actually produces 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 Holland Park customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Holland Park wall.
Booked around your day
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Holland Park (Central) is the nearest station, so a W11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Holland Park walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — the reality on the streets around Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden in W11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Holland Park, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 37% one-person households in Holland Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Holland Park
Fixed prices for W11 and the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. 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. |

Scope
What's included in Holland Park
The same scope across W11, 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 W11 visit
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: frame squared and braced before roof panels go on, so doors don't bind later, with 3,387 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On W11 jobs: felt or shingle roofing lapped and nailed to the manufacturer's pattern, shed assembly included
- In Holland Park: anchoring or ground pins fitted as standard in exposed gardens, sized for the driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors
Not included
- Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job, outside the fixed price on Holland Park bookings
- Electrical supply to the shed, which needs a registered electrician for the armoured cable and consumer unit work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W11
- 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 Kensington and Chelsea or a specialist contractor instead

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.

Common questions
Shed assembly in Holland Park W11 — your questions.
How much does shed assembly cost in Holland Park W11?
Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready starts at £140 in Holland Park on W11 jobs, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play — and 20% of Holland Park homes being houses, 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 across W11 — and Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play, with 3,387 households on this patch.
Do I need permission for a shed in my Holland Park W11 garden?
5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden for Holland Park (W11) addresses, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood. Many gardens in Holland Park are small enough that a large shed pushes close to that limit — we check before booking rather than after the kit is built on the streets near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden — and 43% of W11 homes being privately rented, with 3,387 households on this patch.
Can you build a shed base as well as the shed in W11?
Yes — a paving-slab base is £45/m², with Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden a few streets away, or a timber bearer base from £85 where a full slab isn't needed in Holland Park. With 20% of Holland Park homes being houses with a garden, most jobs here are base-plus-build in one visit on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 20% of Holland Park homes being houses.
Will the shed blow over in an exposed Holland Park garden?
Not once anchored. Terraced gardens funnel wind between the houses more than an open plot does, so we fit ground anchors or wall straps as standard rather than leave it to the kit's own fixings, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, which is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Holland Park, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 37% one-person households in Holland Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site on unanchored builds we're called back to.
Who books shed assembly in Holland Park W11 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 43% of Holland Park privately rented and 40% owner-occupied, roughly half the W11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Kensington and Chelsea — and Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play, with Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden a few streets away.
How quickly can you reach Holland Park from your Kensington and Chelsea round?

A W11 slot added to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood.
Is same-day or evening shed assembly available in Kensington and Chelsea?
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London in Holland Park, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play. Holland Park sits close to Holland Park (Central) around Holland Park (Central), with 37% one-person households here — and this being a short walk from Holland Park (Central), so we can usually add a W11 job to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round at short notice.
