Wandsworth · SW18 · Shed assembly
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Southfields fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking shed assembly near The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance? Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £140 and are fixed before we travel. The base is checked for level before the first panel is stood up.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Southfields, shed assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £140. With 44% of Southfields's 3,815 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW18 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
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. Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays.
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Southfields (District) is the nearest station, so a SW18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in SW18, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SW18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Southfields gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Southfields 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. |

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
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 Southfields
3,815 households sit inside the SW18 neighbourhood covering Southfields. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 44% of those homes are flats.
With 33% private renting against 61% owner-occupied, most SW18 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Southfields substrates run to solid London stock brick in SW18, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Southfields gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Southfields actually produces is the mistake that costs a SW18 customer twice.
The Grid — a planned Edwardian estate that becomes the Wimbledon gateway each June. That character decides the practical detail of shed assembly here far more than the borough boundary does. Southfields 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: championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays. Southfields (District) 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 Southfields on SW18 jobs, with this being a short walk from Southfields (District) — and 61% owner-occupation locally, 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 SW18 — and this being a short walk from Southfields (District), with 6% social-rented stock nearby.
5m at the eaves within 2m of a boundary and all outbuildings together stay under half the garden in this 44% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory. Many gardens in Southfields are small enough that a large shed pushes close to that limit — we check before booking rather than after the kit is built for Southfields (SW18) addresses — and a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, with 44% of homes here being flats.
Yes — a paving-slab base is £45/m², with Wandsworth parking rules in play, or a timber bearer base from £85 where a full slab isn't needed on this side of Wandsworth. With 56% of Southfields homes being houses with a garden, most jobs here are base-plus-build in one visit on SW18 jobs, with 44% of homes here being flats.
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, which is Southfields gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body across SW18 — and 61% owner-occupation locally, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Southfields actually produces on unanchored builds we're called back to.
Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays in this 44% flats neighbourhood. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Wandsworth it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Wandsworth bookings — and a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, with The Southfields Grid and the AELTC entrance a few streets away.
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 in Southfields — and 6% social-rented stock nearby, with this being a short walk from Southfields (District). That paperwork is what most Wandsworth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Southfields (District), with 33% of SW18 homes being privately rented.
Laying a full concrete slab base — quoted separately as a groundworks job; Electrical supply to the shed around Southfields (District), with this being a short walk from Southfields (District) — and 61% owner-occupation locally, 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 Southfields SW18 price you agree is the price you pay in Southfields, with 61% owner-occupation locally.
