Overview
Shed assembly in Putney SW15, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Putney, shed assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 72% of Putney's 20,613 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW15 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How shed assembly works in Putney
Five steps, the same on every SW15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — and boat race day closures, putney high street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts 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 Putney customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW15 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Putney walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 31% one-person households in Putney, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SW15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts.
Fixed prices
Shed assembly prices in Putney
Fixed prices for SW15 and the rest of Wandsworth. 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. |

Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised.
Scope
What's included in Putney
The same scope across SW15, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: kit checked against the manual and the panel list before the first screw goes in, arranged with London Borough of Wandsworth where the kerb needs it
- Frame squared and braced before roof panels go on, so doors don't bind later — including shed assembly
- In Putney: felt or shingle roofing lapped and nailed to the manufacturer's pattern, the way it is done on Putney jobs
- On SW15 jobs: anchoring or ground pins fitted as standard in exposed gardens, with 72% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job, outside the fixed price on Putney bookings
- Electrical supply to the shed, which needs a registered electrician for the armoured cable and consumer unit work, and we will say so before the SW15 visit rather than on the day
- Party wall or boundary consent where a shed sits within 2m of a neighbour's fence and exceeds the height limit, which we refer on to the right trade in Putney

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 →

Putney SW15 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Putney — the numbers that actually change a shed assembly quote.
Putney SW15 is mainly Victorian and renter-heavy: 72% of homes here are flats and 28% are houses, across 20,613 households (ONS Census 2021).
The renter-heavy mix here (47% owned, 38% privately rented) means a SW15 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 31% one-person households in Putney, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Putney is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Putney is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops — which is why a SW15 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
On access, boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts — one reason one fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together. Fitters travelling in use Putney (South Western).

Do I need permission for a shed in my Putney SW15 garden?
5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden for Putney (SW15) addresses, with 72% of homes here being flats. Many gardens in Putney 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 Putney rounds — and 38% of SW15 homes being privately rented, with Wandsworth parking rules in play.
Can you build a shed base as well as the shed in SW15?

With 28% of Putney homes being houses with a garden, most jobs here are base-plus-build in one visit on the Putney rounds, with 31% one-person households here.
Will the shed blow over in an exposed Putney garden?
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 Wandsworth parking rules in play, which is Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs in Putney, with 20,613 households on this patch, where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year on unanchored builds we're called back to.
How quickly can you reach Putney from your Wandsworth round?

A SW15 slot added to an existing Wandsworth round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 72% flats neighbourhood, with 47% owner-occupation locally.
Is same-day or evening shed assembly available in Wandsworth?
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London across SW15, with Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start a few streets away. Putney sits close to Putney (South Western), with 28% of Putney homes being houses, so we can usually add a SW15 job to an existing Wandsworth round at short notice on the streets near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start.
