Overview
Shed assembly in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14, explained
Shed assembly in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them mainly Edwardian. 4,944 households sit inside this SW14 patch, 50% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Boat Race finishing post rather than a London average.
How it works
How shed assembly works in Mortlake and East Sheen
Five steps, the same on every SW14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Mortlake and East Sheen stock goes, the reality on the streets around The Boat Race finishing post 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 Mortlake and East Sheen customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW14 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Mortlake and East Sheen walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — where 56% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SW14, 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; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 32% one-person households in Mortlake and East Sheen, 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 Mortlake and East Sheen
Fixed prices for SW14 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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 Mortlake and East Sheen
The same scope across SW14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW14 jobs: kit checked against the manual and the panel list before the first screw goes in, with 50% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Mortlake and East Sheen: frame squared and braced before roof panels go on, so doors don't bind later, the way it is done on Mortlake and East Sheen jobs
- Felt or shingle roofing lapped and nailed to the manufacturer's pattern — including shed assembly london
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: anchoring or ground pins fitted as standard in exposed gardens, arranged with London Borough of Richmond upon Thames where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job, and we will say so before the SW14 visit rather than on the day
- Electrical supply to the shed, which needs a registered electrician for the armoured cable and consumer unit work, outside the fixed price on Mortlake and East Sheen bookings
- Party wall or boundary consent where a shed sits within 2m of a neighbour's fence and exceeds the height limit, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW14

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.
