Garden Sheds on a Solid, Level Base

A shed is only as good as the base it stands on. Built on soft or uneven ground, the frame twists, the doors stop closing and the floor sits in the wet. We prepare a proper level base first, then supply and erect the shed on top.

We handle the whole job across Manchester and Greater Manchester: choosing the right spot, building the base, putting the shed together and fitting the felt roof, then taking the packaging and waste away.

Shed Base Options

The best base depends on the size of the shed, the ground and what you'll keep in it. We'll recommend one at the free quote visit.

Concrete or Paving Slab Base

A solid, level base laid on a compacted sub-base. The most robust option, and ideal for larger sheds or heavy storage.

Timber Base

A treated timber frame on levelled ground, with a membrane underneath. Quick to install and handy where the ground slopes slightly.

Plastic Grid Base

Interlocking grids laid on a prepared, level surface and filled with gravel. Free-draining, and a good choice where you want to avoid concrete.

How we carry out the work

How We Put Up a Garden Shed

No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.

Pick the Position

We help you choose a spot with good access, firm dry ground and space around the shed for airflow and maintenance, with the door facing the right way.

Build the Base

The ground is cleared and levelled, then the slab, timber or plastic grid base is laid and checked for level in both directions.

Erect the Shed

The floor, walls and roof are assembled and fixed together square, so the doors and windows open and close cleanly.

Felt and Finish

Roofing felt is laid with generous overlaps and nailed down, the trims are fitted and the site is cleared.

Garden Shed Questions

Which shed base is best?

For most sheds a concrete or paving slab base is the most solid option. A timber base suits smaller sheds and gently sloping ground, and a plastic grid base is a good free-draining choice. We'll recommend one after seeing the spot.

Can you take down and remove my old shed?

Yes. We can dismantle an old shed, break out the old base or reuse it where it's sound, and take the waste away before the new one goes up.

Where is the best place to put a shed?

Somewhere level, reasonably dry and easy to reach from the house or a path. Leave a gap from fences and walls so you can treat the timber and air can circulate, and think about which way the door will face.

Do I need planning permission for a shed?

Many garden sheds fall under permitted development, but there are limits on height, size and position, especially close to boundaries, and different rules for listed buildings and some protected areas. If in doubt, check with your local council before work starts.

Why does the roof need felting?

Roofing felt keeps the roof boards dry and stops water getting into the shed. It's laid with overlaps so rain runs off, then fixed down and trimmed at the edges so the wind can't lift it.
