Why might you hire the services of a shed company?

People look for shed companies for lots of reasons:

• You need more secure or weatherproof storage for bikes, tools, or garden kit

• You want to convert a shed into a home office, gym, studio, or hobby room

• Your existing shed is damaged and needs repair or removal

• You’re planning a garden redesign and want a new outbuilding included

• You need a custom-built or insulated structure for specific uses (e.g., workshop, potting shed)

Whether you want a simple self-assembly unit or a fully fitted “shoffice”, shed suppliers and installers offer different levels of service to match.

Want to make the most of your outdoor space? At Checkatrade, we're here to help, whether it's with planning your shed conversion budget, researching the best roof material, or gathering ideas for a 'She Shed', we've got you covered.

What does shed supply and installation involve?

A typical shed project usually follows these stages:

• Initial enquiry & site visit — the installer checks access, measures the space, and discusses how you’ll use the shed

• Quote & specification — you’ll receive a written, itemised quote covering materials, delivery, installation, base work, and any extras (electrics, insulation, windows)

• Base preparation — a flat, level base (concrete, paving slabs, or timber bearers) is essential for a long-lasting shed. Some companies include base work; others expect it to be ready

• Delivery & installation — the shed is delivered and assembled on site; work includes fixing, sealing, and any finishing

• Optional services — electrics, insulation, windows/doors, decking, guttering, and internal fittings for storage or office fit-out

• Waste removal & tidy up — removal of packaging and old sheds is usually offered as an extra

Overall, you should expect a checked shed installer to provide: clear timings, an itemised quote, confirmation of what’s included (base, access, electrics), and details of any guarantees.

How much does a shed cost?

Shed costs vary by size, material, and whether you want a bespoke conversion.

Factors that raise the cost include: electrics and plumbing, insulation, double glazing, a bespoke build, difficult access, or the need to create a new base.

• Shed manufacturers can charge anything between £1,825 - £20,175, depending on the specifics of your project

• The average price to convert a shed is £11,000

• The ballpark figure for creating an outdoor 'shoffice' (shed into an office) is around £5,000

How much does it cost to remove an old shed?

If a damaged garden shed is left for too long, it can become a breeding ground for rot, mould, and rust. Likewise, older shed roofs may even be full of asbestos.

However, for homes with limited outside space, removing an old or broken garden shed can open up a whole host of possibilities.

• On average, the cost to remove an old shed is around £350

The total price you can expect to pay for shed removal can be impacted by a number of factors, including materials, condition, and size, as well as ease of access, and if you need the contents disposed of too.

Asking a few questions upfront can help to ensure you make the right choice of hire and avoid any surprises once work begins:

• Can I see photos of recent shed installations or conversions you’ve done?

• Do you include a site visit in the quote? What does the quote cover?

• Who prepares the base — is that included, or am I responsible for it?

• Do you offer delivery and waste removal (old shed)?

• Are any electrical or plumbing works included, or are they subcontracted?

• What is your timescale for the job, and what happens if access or weather causes a delay?

• Do you carry public liability insurance?

• Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on materials and workmanship?

• What payment schedule do you require (deposit, staged payments, final payment)?

• What maintenance does the structure need, and do you provide aftercare advice?

FAQs about shed companies

Do I need planning permission for a shed?

Most domestic sheds fall under permitted development, so planning permission isn’t usually required. There are exceptions (listed buildings, Conservation Areas, very large structures, or those with sleeping accommodation). If in doubt, check with your local planning authority before you start.

What base do I need for a shed?

A level, firm base is essential for a shed. Common options are concrete slab, compacted crushed stone with paving slabs, or treated timber bearers on compacted hardcore. The required base depends on shed size and design; ask your installer for guidance.

What type of shed lasts the longest?

Metal and vinyl sheds tend to last the longest. Metal options are durable but can rust without proper care, while vinyl sheds need little maintenance but cost more. Choose the most durable material your budget allows to avoid leaks or rot.

How long does shed installation take?

Small sheds can be installed in a few hours if the base is ready. Larger bespoke builds or conversions typically take anywhere from a day to several weeks, depending on complexity.

Can I install a shed myself?

Many smaller sheds are designed for self-assembly. For larger timber builds or conversions (electrics, insulation), it's a good idea to hire a checked shed company.

Can I convert a shed into an office?

Yes, you can convert a shed into an office, but it will need insulation, electrics, ventilation, and a solid base. If you’ll be working in the space regularly, consider heating, soundproofing, and appropriate wiring.

What about shed warranty and insurance?

Always ask your shed company for details of any warranty on materials and workmanship. Also, confirm the installer’s public liability insurance — this protects you if something goes wrong during the build.
