Construction of sheds

Construction of Sheds

A well built shed adds practical space without the cost and disruption of a full extension. Whether you need secure storage, a garden workshop, or a tidy place for tools and equipment, we design and construct sheds that suit your site, your budget, and how you plan to use the space. Our team handles the build from initial measurements through to a clean finish, so you get a structure that looks right in your garden and performs reliably year round.

Planning, Design, and Site Preparation

Every successful shed build starts with a clear plan. We begin with a site visit to check access, ground conditions, drainage, and the best placement for light and day to day use. We will discuss size, layout, door positions, windows, shelving, and security options. If you want power, lighting, or extra ventilation for workshop use, we can allow for those requirements during the design stage.

Groundwork is critical for stability and long term performance. Depending on the site and the shed type, we prepare a suitable base such as a concrete slab, paving base, or a treated timber frame base. We also make sure the area is level and that water will not pool around the shed. If your existing outbuilding has issues above, we can coordinate timing with related work like roof maintenance so the overall property stays protected during the project.

Materials and Build Quality

We build sheds using materials chosen for durability and appearance. Timber remains a popular option for its warmth and flexibility in design, while composite or metal elements can be added where higher impact resistance is needed. All timber components can be pressure treated and finished with high quality protective coatings to resist rot and weathering. Fixings are selected to reduce corrosion and ensure the shed stays solid through seasonal changes.

Framing and Structure

Strong framing keeps doors aligned, walls straight, and the roof stable. We use proven construction methods, bracing where necessary, and careful spacing of studs and joists to support shelves, workbenches, and heavier storage loads. If you are planning a workshop, we can reinforce floors and walls to handle equipment, tool boards, and frequent use.

Roofing and Weather Protection

A shed is only as good as its protection from wind and rain. We fit appropriate roof coverings and detailing to match the structure and the local conditions, including felt systems, shingles, and sheet roofing where suitable. We pay close attention to edges, overlaps, and drainage to reduce the chance of leaks. If you have nearby structures that need attention, we can also advise on roof repair planning so your garden buildings and main property remain weather tight together.

Doors, Windows, and Finishing Options

Access and security matter, especially when storing valuable tools or bikes. We install single or double doors with sturdy hinges, quality locks, and optional internal bracing. Windows can be added for natural light, with options for toughened glazing or frosted panels for privacy. For a clean look and longer life, we finish trims, seal joints, and ensure smooth opening and closing of all fittings.

• Interior fit out including shelving, hooks, benches, and tool storage layouts
• Insulation options for sheds used as hobby rooms or workshops
• Ventilation to reduce condensation and protect stored items
• Guttering and runoff control to keep splashback away from walls and base
• Exterior treatments such as stains or paints matched to your garden style

How the Project Works

We keep the process straightforward and transparent. After the site visit, we provide a clear scope of work, recommended materials, and an expected timeline. Once agreed, we schedule the build and confirm any access needs. We protect nearby surfaces where required and keep the work area tidy throughout.

1. Measure and assess the site, including base requirements and drainage considerations
2. Confirm design with size, openings, roof type, and any upgrades
3. Prepare base and ensure level, stable foundations
4. Build structure including framing, cladding, roof, and weatherproofing
5. Finish and handover with final checks and care guidance

If the shed is being built near existing buildings with aging roofing, we can help you time improvements such as roof inspections and repairs so everything is protected before the worst weather arrives.
