New Shed on the Way? We'll Build It Square, Level and Built to Last in Kenilworth

Shed installation looks simple in the flat-pack world, but the difference between a shed that lasts and one that fights you every winter usually comes down to how it was put up. We install garden sheds properly: prepared, level and built to hold.

The base comes first

Nothing matters more than the base. A shed needs a level, firm foundation — paving slabs on compacted ground, a concrete pad or a purpose-made base system — and if the base is wrong, the shed will be wrong whatever happens above it. We check your existing base for level and stability before assembly, and tell you honestly if it needs correction, because installing on a poor base means doors that won't close and a frame that racks within months. If you're planning a new base, we can advise what suits the shed and the ground. Before any work at ground level, underground services matter: we locate carefully and use detectors where appropriate, though no scan guarantees what's below, so we'd ask you to check any utility plans you have.

How we assemble the shed

We work from the manufacturer's instructions and the delivered kit: the floor assembled level, the frame squared and braced, panels fixed with the intended fixings rather than shortcuts, the roof fitted with its covering properly secured, and trims, seals and felt edges finished to keep the weather out. Doors and windows are hung, aligned and checked for smooth closing, and hardware is fitted as specified. We dispose of packaging sensibly — agreeing green waste and packaging disposal with you in advance where relevant — and leave the site tidy.

What we need from you

A clear, level access route from the delivery point to the base, the base ready before we arrive, and the shed kit delivered and checked — it's worth counting the panels against the instructions before we start, because missing parts stop everything. Please tell us about the shed's size and manufacturer, whether the kit has been opened, and what the base situation is. Access matters for larger buildings too, so mention anything tight — gates, steps, overgrown paths.

Weather, timing and limits

Assembly is weather-dependent — felt roofs and sealing need dry conditions — so we schedule around the forecast and tell you plainly if weather must delay the work. A standard shed installation is planned as a working day on the agreed scope; if the base needs correcting or the kit turns out to have issues, we'll discuss the change before continuing, and nothing proceeds without your approval on the quote. We don't guarantee against future settlement or weathering, and we can't promise the manufacturer's kit is complete or defect-free — but we'll flag anything we find rather than build over it. Larger buildings are a separate quoted project after survey.

If the shed comes with felt or roofing material to fit, we'll handle that as part of the build, and where a shed sits close to a boundary or under trees we'll point out anything that will affect its future — overhanging branches that keep the roof damp, or a spot where rain bounces off paving onto the lower boards. Small positioning decisions made on installation day pay off for the life of the building.

Booking your installation

Call or book through the website with the shed's size and manufacturer, the base type and condition, and your access situation. You'll pay a booking fee when you book, labour is charged hourly at a rate that depends on how soon you need the visit, and the full cost is quoted and approved before work starts, with any parts or base materials quoted separately.
