Planning a new shed or garden room in Southampton? Here are the questions we’re asked most often by our customers. If there’s anything we haven’t covered, feel free to call us on 023 9266 4811.
Lead times vary depending on the time of year. In quieter winter months, delivery to Southampton is usually within two to three weeks. During spring and summer, when demand increases, it can be six to eight weeks.
As soon as your 10% deposit is paid, we’ll confirm your delivery date. We pride ourselves on reliability — 99.9% of the time we arrive exactly as promised. The only thing that ever delays installation is severe weather, particularly high winds.
We don’t install bases ourselves, but a firm, level base is essential. Your shed or garden building will only ever be as good as the ground it sits on. An uneven surface can cause doors to stick, floors to twist and may affect your guarantee.
For customers in Southampton, we can recommend trusted local groundworkers if you need a new base. Concrete or level paving slabs are ideal. Not sure if your base is suitable? We’re happy to arrange a site visit before your build date.
Yes — it’s rarely a problem. Whether access is through the house, around tight corners or under an archway, we’ve likely seen it before.
If access in your Southampton garden looks tricky, just let us know when ordering. Where needed, we’ll visit beforehand to check everything is workable. Because our buildings are made to order, we can also adjust sections if required to suit access constraints.
Yes. As a Registered Waste Carrier, we can dismantle and dispose of your old shed responsibly. Prices typically start from £120, depending on size and access. This covers the structure only — contents must be cleared beforehand.
In most cases, planning permission is not required for sheds or garden rooms in Southampton, as they fall under permitted development rules. However, this depends on size, height and position within your garden.
If your property is listed or in a conservation area, additional rules may apply. We always recommend checking with Southampton City Council if you’re unsure.
Yes. Timber is a natural material and benefits from regular treatment. While your building can be dip-treated before delivery, we recommend applying a good-quality preservative soon after installation and repeating this annually.
Proper treatment protects against weathering, mould and moisture — particularly important in coastal areas like Southampton.
Yes. Southampton’s coastal air and changeable weather mean durability matters. Our buildings are constructed using robust framing and quality timber, designed to handle exposure when properly maintained.
Strong bases, good ventilation and annual treatment all contribute to long-term performance.
Standard features include fixed windows, doors and flooring (depending on the building type). From there, you can personalise your shed with opening windows, stable doors, shelving and other extras.
Because every building is made to order in our workshop, nothing is off-the-shelf. You choose what works for your garden and how you plan to use it.
Prices vary depending on size, cladding and any extras. We offer a wide range of sheds for sale in Southampton, from compact garden storage to heavy-duty workshops.
For full pricing, request our latest price list or visit our showroom to discuss your options. Delivery and assembly across Southampton and Hampshire are included within our catchment area.
The right size depends on how you’ll use it. Light storage may only require a compact building, while workshops or garden rooms need more space to move comfortably.
We’re happy to advise based on your available space and intended use. Visiting our showroom can also help you visualise different sizes before committing.
Yes. This is where made-to-order really matters. If you have a narrow side return, sloping boundary or unusual shape, we can build to suit your exact dimensions.
Many Southampton sheds are fitted into compact urban gardens, and bespoke sizing ensures you make the most of every inch.
