What does a shed builder do?

There are three key stages to shed construction:

Step 1: Planning and preparation

The shed builder will normally start by discussing size, materials, base type, and the intended use of the shed.

Step 2: Groundwork and base installation

Next, a suitable base is installed, such as concrete, paving slabs, or timber framing.

Step 3: Construction and finishing

The shed is then built or assembled, roofed, secured, and weatherproofed.

How much does a new shed cost?

Shed building costs depend on size, materials, and whether the shed is custom-built or pre-made.

As a guide, installing a plastic shed typically starts from around £285, while a new custom shed may cost around £850 or more.

Additional work such as shed removal, roofing repairs, or groundwork can increase costs.

When choosing a contractor, compare several quotes from shed builders near you to assess fair pricing and included services.
