Overview
This page prices shed assembly for Battersea SW11 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 6,832 households in total. Work starts at £140, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Wandsworth permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
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. Estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets.
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Battersea Power Station (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Battersea, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Battersea gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea actually produces.
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. |

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.

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 Battersea
In Battersea (SW11) the split is 87% flats to 13% houses over 6,832 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 33% private renting against 38% owner-occupied, most SW11 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Battersea, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Battersea is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Battersea gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea actually produces.
The rebuilt power station, riverside towers and Victorian streets around the park. That character decides the practical detail of shed assembly here far more than the borough boundary does. Battersea is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets. Battersea Power Station (Northern) 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 at £140 in Battersea for Battersea (SW11) addresses, with Battersea Power Station a few streets away, 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 across SW11 — and Wandsworth parking rules in play, with this being a short walk from Battersea Power Station (Northern).
5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden in this 87% flats neighbourhood, with Wandsworth parking rules in play. Many gardens in Battersea are small enough that a large shed pushes close to that limit — we check before booking rather than after the kit is built on this side of Wandsworth — and Wandsworth parking rules in play, with 34% one-person households here.
Yes — a paving-slab base is £45/m², with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, or a timber bearer base from £85 where a full slab isn't needed in this 87% flats neighbourhood. With 13% of Battersea homes being houses with a garden, most jobs here are base-plus-build in one visit around Battersea Power Station (Northern), with 6,832 households on this patch.
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, with 38% owner-occupation locally, which is Battersea gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs around Battersea Power Station (Northern) — and this being a short walk from Battersea Power Station (Northern), which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea actually produces on unanchored builds we're called back to.
Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job; Electrical supply to the shed for Battersea (SW11) addresses, with 87% of homes here being flats — and 34% one-person households here, 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 Battersea SW11 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Battersea Power Station, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
All three. With 33% of Battersea privately rented and 38% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Wandsworth, with 38% owner-occupation locally — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
