Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around New Malden, shed assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 30% of New Malden's 6,674 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in KT3 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 solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in KT3, 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 — the pattern behind 6,674 households inside the KT3 neighbourhood.
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. Driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays.
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. New Malden (South Western) is the nearest station, so a KT3 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. |

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 New Malden
The KT3 stock around The Korean high street on Burlington Road is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 30% flats, 70% houses and 6,674 households in New Malden.
Private renting sits at 27% and owner-occupation at 67%; the first group books shed assembly at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in KT3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 6,674 households inside the KT3 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in New Malden: home to Europe's largest Korean community, with a high street to match. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. New Malden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays — 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 New Malden (South Western).

Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready starts at £140 in New Malden on this side of Kingston upon Thames — and 27% of KT3 homes being privately rented, with Kingston upon Thames 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 Kingston upon Thames bookings — and The Korean high street on Burlington Road a few streets away, with this being Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames territory.
5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden for New Malden (KT3) addresses, with this being a short walk from New Malden (South Western).

Not once anchored. Terraced gardens funnel wind between the houses more than an open plot does in this 30% flats neighbourhood, so we fit ground anchors or wall straps as standard rather than leave it to the kit's own fixings, with 6,674 households on this patch — and this being Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames territory, which is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 6,674 households inside the KT3 neighbourhood on unanchored builds we're called back to.
