Sheds & Bases · Owlsmoor, Hampshire
Sheds & Bases for Owlsmoor: thought through, then built.
A small, family-run team building sheds and bases across Owlsmoor and the surrounding Hampshire postcodes. Same crew on site every day, work that's meant to age well.
Workshop in GU15 - close to Owlsmoor
Same team on site every day
10+ years across Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire
Typical book-in is two to four weeks; build one to three days on site.
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 Owlsmoor
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
What we build for Owlsmoor gardens isn't generic sheds & bases - the materials, the falls and the finish are tuned to the houses we see across the area.
Owlsmoor is one of the closer postcodes to our workshop - first visits usually within the week, and small follow-ups easy to fit in.

Common questions
What Owlsmoor 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.
