Booked around your day
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Crossharbour (DLR) is the nearest station, so a E14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Isle of Dogs fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking shed assembly near Island Gardens and the Greenwich foot tunnel? Single access roads onto the island, dock-side loading bays and lift booking in every block, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start with a free written quote and are fixed before we travel. The base is checked for level before the first panel is stood up.

Overview
Shed assembly in Isle of Dogs E14 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Tower Hamlets, most of them post-war. 12,491 households sit inside this E14 patch, 84% of them flats, so we quote on access near Island Gardens and the Greenwich foot tunnel rather than a London average.
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
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Crossharbour (DLR) is the nearest station, so a E14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 12,491 households inside the E14 neighbourhood in E14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Isle of Dogs stock goes, where 27% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fitters carry £1m public liability. 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. Single access roads onto the island, dock-side loading bays and lift booking in every block.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|
| Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready | Quoted per job — free quote | A one-piece or simple panel shed on an existing slab, framed, roofed and felted in a morning. |
| Medium shed 8x6ft, base ready | Quoted per job — free quote | More panels and a ridged roof mean more bracing before the structure is rigid enough to felt. |
| Large shed or workshop 10x8ft+, base ready | Quoted per job — free quote | Heavier framing, often double doors and a window, and usually a two-person lift for the roof panels. |
| Paving-slab base, per m² | £45 | 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 | 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 | Quoted per job — free quote | Ground 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
I booked the service at 10pm last night was the job was completed by 2pm the next day at very short notice. Adam arrived earlier than expected which was great. He was very friendly and got two IKEA bed side tables and a wardrobe storage unit built in under 2 hours. He also kindly helped… Read in full →
I booked the services for putting together some new bedroom furniture. This was agreed for 3 pm. I got a call at 3pm to say they were going to be late and be there at 5, they arrived at 5:30. The workmanship and the guys who fitted it was excellent and they were very friendly… Read in full →
Adam and his friend assembled the wardrobe in no time and without any fuss, highly recommended.

Working in Isle of Dogs
12,491 households sit inside the E14 neighbourhood covering Isle of Dogs. The build is post-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 84% of those homes are flats.
With 45% private renting against 27% owner-occupied, most E14 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 12,491 households inside the E14 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Isle of Dogs is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Isle of Dogs stock goes, where 27% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Isle of Dogs sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — dock basins ringed by apartment blocks, with Island Gardens facing Greenwich — which is why a E14 quote is not a Tower Hamlets average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: single access roads onto the island, dock-side loading bays and lift booking in every block. Crossharbour (DLR) 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.

Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready starts with a free written quote in Isle of Dogs for Isle of Dogs (E14) addresses — and 28% social-rented stock nearby, with a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood, 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 around Crossharbour (DLR) — and 33% one-person households here, with 84% of homes here being flats.
5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden on the streets near Island Gardens and the Greenwich foot tunnel, with 28% social-rented stock nearby. Many gardens in Isle of Dogs are small enough that a large shed pushes close to that limit — we check before booking rather than after the kit is built for Isle of Dogs (E14) addresses, with 27% owner-occupation locally — and 84% of homes here being flats.
Yes — a paving-slab base is £45/m², with 45% of E14 homes being privately rented, or a timber bearer base from £85 where a full slab isn't needed in this 84% flats neighbourhood.

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 — and 28% social-rented stock nearby, which is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Isle of Dogs stock goes on the streets near Island Gardens and the Greenwich foot tunnel, with Island Gardens and the Greenwich foot tunnel a few streets away, where 27% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year on unanchored builds we're called back to.
