Common questions Stainesai
The cost can be influenced by the size of the shed, choice of materials, complexity of design, and site accessibility.
A standard shed construction typically takes 3-5 days, depending on the size and complexity.
Typically, the carpenter/joiner will supply materials, but this should be confirmed before starting the project.
In most cases, planning permission is not required for sheds if they are single storey, do not exceed 4m in height for dual pitch roofs or 3m for other roofs, and do not cover more than 50% of the garden area. They must not be forward of the principal elevation and should not exceed 2.5m in height if within 2m of a boundary. Always confirm with your tradesperson before work begins.
