Sheds & Bases · Hartley Wintney, Hampshire
Hartley Wintney sheds & bases, done thoroughly.
We design and build sheds and bases for Hartley Wintney families - the kind of work where the detail beneath the surface matters as much as the finish on top.

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 Hartley Wintney
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Most of our sheds & bases work in Hartley Wintney comes from the same kind of conversation - a family that's been in the house long enough to know what they want it to do, and a garden that hasn't quite kept up.
Some Hartley Wintney plots sit within or near the conservation area. We design with that in mind - eaves heights, materials and finishes that sit quietly within the setting.

Common questions
What Hartley Wintney clients usually ask about sheds & bases.
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.
Concrete pad, paving or bearer grid - which is right for us?+
Depends on the building, the ground and how long you want it to last. Concrete pad for larger or heavier sheds and workshops; paving on a proper sub-base for most family garden sheds; treated bearer grid where ventilation matters more than mass. We'll specify on the first visit.
How long does a base take to lay?+
Most bases run one to three days, depending on size and ground prep. Concrete pads add a day for the cure before the shed goes on top.
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.
