What we mean by sheds & bases
The bit beneath the surface.
Half the sheds we're called to look at have nothing wrong with the shed - the base failed. Concrete pads laid too thin, paving slabs on unprepared ground, timber bearers rotting against soil. Get the base right and a good shed lasts twenty years.
Bases sized to the building
Concrete pad, paving on a proper sub-base or pressure-treated bearer grid - each chosen for the building and the ground beneath it. Level, drained, ventilated.
Weather-tight builds
Roofs felted or EPDM-membraned properly, eaves detailed to throw water clear, doors hung so they still close in February.
One trade, base to handover
Ground prep, base, build and surrounding tidying by us. No co-ordination gap between groundworker and shed supplier.
Why this works in Farnham
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Farnham sheds & bases projects share a pattern. The houses are well-loved, the kitchens have usually been extended, and the garden is the part that's been waiting its turn.
Some properties around Castle Street and Upper Hale sit within or close to the Farnham conservation area. We're used to detailing builds - materials, eaves heights and finishes - so they sit quietly within the setting.
- Older boundary walls - We protect existing brickwork during excavation rather than treating it as something to work around at the end.
- Mature root zones - Tree report where it's warranted, hand-dug foundations within protection areas, and layouts designed around the canopy.
- Conservation sensitivities - Materials and eaves heights chosen to sit quietly within the setting; planning advice given honestly when an application is genuinely needed.

Common questions
What Farnham clients usually ask about sheds & bases.
Can you supply the shed too, or do you just lay the base?+
Both work. We're happy to supply and build a quality shed from one of two or three suppliers we trust, or we'll prep the base ready for a building you've already chosen.
Will the base need planning permission?+
For most family gardens, no - sheds under 2.5m at the eaves and within size limits sit under permitted development. We'll flag any exceptions on the first visit.
Will the shed stay dry on our wetter Blackwater-side plot?+
Yes, if the base is detailed for it. We raise the bearer line above wet ground, ventilate the perimeter and detail the roof properly. Most damp sheds we're called to fix are damp because the base wasn't designed for the conditions.
Can you remove the old shed and dispose of it?+
Yes - break-out, removal and skip disposal are included where needed. We work tidily and leave the site swept.
