Overview

Shed assembly in East Dulwich SE22, explained

Shed assembly in East Dulwich SE22 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Southwark, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,337 households sit inside this SE22 patch, 43% of them flats, so we quote on access near Dulwich Park rather than a London average.

How it works

How shed assembly works in East Dulwich

Five steps, the same on every SE22 job, so you know what happens before you commit. East Dulwich gives us terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Roof and weatherproof

    Roof panels fitted, felt or shingle lapped correctly and any window or vent sealed.

  5. 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 East Dulwich customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a East Dulwich wall.

East Dulwich walls, not generic walls

We expect solid London stock brick in SE22, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 43% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering East Dulwich actually produces in SE22, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE22, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map.

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.

Crew sized to the job

One fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together. Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton.

Booked around your day

Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. East Dulwich (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE22 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Shed assembly prices in East Dulwich

Fixed prices for SE22 and the rest of Southwark. 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.
Shed assembly price guide for East Dulwich SE22
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready£1402–3 hrsA one-piece or simple panel shed on an existing slab, framed, roofed and felted in a morning.
Medium shed 8x6ft, base ready£2203–5 hrsMore panels and a ridged roof mean more bracing before the structure is rigid enough to felt.
Large shed or workshop 10x8ft+, base ready£3205–7 hrsHeavier framing, often double doors and a window, and usually a two-person lift for the roof panels.
Paving-slab base, per m²£45By areaCompacted 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£852–3 hrsPressure-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£6045–60 minGround 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. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised.

Scope

What's included in East Dulwich

The same scope across SE22, 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, noted on the East Dulwich job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • Standard on Southwark bookings: frame squared and braced before roof panels go on, so doors don't bind later, allowing for the 25% of SE22 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
  • On SE22 jobs: felt or shingle roofing lapped and nailed to the manufacturer's pattern, agreed on the doorstep in East Dulwich before anything is unpacked
  • In East Dulwich: anchoring or ground pins fitted as standard in exposed gardens, timed against the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink)

Not included

  • Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job, which we refer on to the right trade in East Dulwich
  • Electrical supply to the shed, which needs a registered electrician for the armoured cable and consumer unit work, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
  • Party wall or boundary consent where a shed sits within 2m of a neighbour's fence and exceeds the height limit, outside the fixed price on East Dulwich bookings

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.

Working in East Dulwich

East Dulwich SE22 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers East Dulwich — the numbers that actually change a shed assembly quote.

Walk East Dulwich from Dulwich Park outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 43% of the 3,337 households in SE22 live in flats, 57% in houses.

25% of households rent privately and 58% own, which is why shed assembly demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.

East Dulwich substrates run to solid London stock brick in SE22, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 43% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering East Dulwich actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SE22, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SE22 customer twice.

Two streets can behave very differently in East Dulwich: lordship Lane's shops and rows of bay-fronted Victorian family houses. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. East Dulwich sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.

Getting to the door matters as much as the job: narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. East Dulwich (Thameslink) is the nearest station, and one fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together.

Common questions

Shed assembly in East Dulwich SE22 — your questions.

  • How much does shed assembly cost in East Dulwich SE22?

    Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready starts at £140 in East Dulwich across SE22 — and this being London Borough of Southwark territory, with 26% one-person households here, 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 for East Dulwich (SE22) addresses — and this being a short walk from East Dulwich (Thameslink), with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.

  • Do I need permission for a shed in my East Dulwich SE22 garden?

    5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden on SE22 jobs, with 43% of homes here being flats. Many gardens in East Dulwich 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 Dulwich Park — and this being a short walk from East Dulwich (Thameslink), with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.

  • Can you build a shed base as well as the shed in SE22?

    Yes — a paving-slab base is £45/m², with this being London Borough of Southwark territory, or a timber bearer base from £85 where a full slab isn't needed around East Dulwich (Thameslink). With 57% of East Dulwich homes being houses with a garden, most jobs here are base-plus-build in one visit in this 43% flats neighbourhood, with 25% of SE22 homes being privately rented.

  • Will the shed blow over in an exposed East Dulwich garden?

    Not once anchored. Terraced gardens funnel wind between the houses more than an open plot does on SE22 jobs, with 3,337 households on this patch, so we fit ground anchors or wall straps as standard rather than leave it to the kit's own fixings, which is in SE22, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map on unanchored builds we're called back to.

  • Are your fitters insured for work in SE22?

    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 Dulwich Park — and 3,337 households on this patch, with 16% social-rented stock nearby. That paperwork is what most Southwark letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on SE22 jobs, with 58% owner-occupation locally.

  • What is not included in shed assembly in East Dulwich?

    Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job; Electrical supply to the shed on Southwark bookings, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory — and Southwark parking rules in play, 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. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the East Dulwich SE22 price you agree is the price you pay on the East Dulwich rounds, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.

  • Who books shed assembly in East Dulwich SE22 — tenants, landlords or owners?

    All three. With 25% of East Dulwich privately rented and 58% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE22 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near Dulwich Park — and 57% of East Dulwich homes being houses, with 3,337 households on this patch.
