Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Richmond, shed assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 35% of Richmond Hill and Ham's 2,156 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW10 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
One fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together. Extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits.
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in TW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in TW10, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 2,156 households inside the TW10 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.
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. |

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 →

Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready starts at £140 in Richmond Hill and Ham on the Richmond Hill and Ham rounds, with 65% of Richmond Hill and Ham homes being houses — and this being a short walk from Richmond (District, Overground, South Western), and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked.

5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 30% one-person households here.

Not once anchored. Terraced gardens funnel wind between the houses more than an open plot does in Richmond Hill and Ham, with 58% owner-occupation locally — and 26% social-rented stock nearby, so we fit ground anchors or wall straps as standard rather than leave it to the kit's own fixings, which is in TW10, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 2,156 households inside the TW10 neighbourhood on unanchored builds we're called back to.
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 Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 58% owner-occupation locally — and 35% of homes here being flats. That paperwork is what most Richmond upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in this 35% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Richmond (District, Overground, South Western). Near Ham House and the Richmond Hill view that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job; Electrical supply to the shed on the streets near Ham House and the Richmond Hill view, with 35% of homes here being flats — and 15% of TW10 homes being privately rented, 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.
