Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Temple and Aldwych fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide shed assembly in Temple and Aldwych WC2 for houses and flats around The Royal Courts of Justice. From £140, quoted in writing before the visit, with one fitter for a small shed on a ready base; two for anything over 8x6ft or where roof panels need lifting together The base is checked for level before the first panel is stood up.
Overview
This page prices shed assembly for Temple and Aldwych WC2 specifically: period conversion stock, 44% privately rented and 3,927 households in total. Work starts at £140, fixed in writing, with parking and Westminster City Council 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. Embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times.
Most builds are booked within a week, longer in spring when garden project demand peaks across London. Temple (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a WC2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in WC2, with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 46% one-person households in Temple and Aldwych, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in WC2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Temple and Aldwych gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. |

| 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. |

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 Temple and Aldwych
Temple and Aldwych WC2 is period conversion and renter-heavy: 95% of homes here are flats and 5% are houses, across 3,927 households (ONS Census 2021).
The renter-heavy mix here (28% owned, 44% privately rented) means a WC2 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Temple and Aldwych substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in WC2, with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 46% one-person households in Temple and Aldwych, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Temple and Aldwych gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a WC2 customer twice.
Barristers' chambers, King's College buildings and the crescent of Aldwych. That character decides the practical detail of shed assembly here far more than the borough boundary does. Temple and Aldwych sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times — 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 Temple (Circle, District).

Small shed up to 6x4ft, base ready starts at £140 in Temple and Aldwych across WC2, with 5% of Temple and Aldwych homes being houses — and 3,927 households on this patch, 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 in this 95% flats neighbourhood — and 28% owner-occupation locally, with 95% 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 Temple and Aldwych rounds, with 46% one-person households here. Many gardens in Temple and Aldwych are small enough that a large shed pushes close to that limit — we check before booking rather than after the kit is built on Westminster bookings — and 28% owner-occupation locally, with 3,927 households on this patch.
Yes — a paving-slab base is £45/m², with The Royal Courts of Justice a few streets away, or a timber bearer base from £85 where a full slab isn't needed in this 95% flats neighbourhood. With 5% of Temple and Aldwych homes being houses with a garden, most jobs here are base-plus-build in one visit on Westminster bookings, with 44% of WC2 homes being privately rented.
Not once anchored. Terraced gardens funnel wind between the houses more than an open plot does, with 44% of WC2 homes being privately rented, so we fit ground anchors or wall straps as standard rather than leave it to the kit's own fixings — and 28% owner-occupation locally, which is Temple and Aldwych gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs around Temple (Circle, District), and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 in this 95% flats neighbourhood, with 29% social-rented stock nearby — and 28% 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 Temple and Aldwych WC2 price you agree is the price you pay around Temple (Circle, District), with 5% of Temple and Aldwych homes being houses.
All three. With 44% of Temple and Aldwych privately rented and 28% owner-occupied, roughly half the WC2 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Westminster bookings — and 46% one-person households here, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
The Royal Courts of Justice is the marker we route to across WC2, with this being a short walk from Temple (Circle, District) — and 46% one-person households here, and embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times. A WC2 slot added to an existing Westminster round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the Temple and Aldwych rounds, with 28% owner-occupation locally.
