Need a carpenter to build a garden shed


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Camberwell SE5 here (Myatts Field). My garden shed is old and needs to be replaced. There is a foundation base that has not been used to its full potential. I would like to make a shed (not flatpack, but from the ground up) The foundations are 160cm (W) 290ish (D) as the wall is slightly curved.... Have an image in my head of something with an angled roof (from high on the wall side to low on the garden side) and maybe from corrugated (clear plastic) roofing. But am pretty open to anything - so long as it is functional!

Anytime from mid July to August this year if possible.

Drop me a line and we can make a date or give me a ball park figure of costs.

Cheers

Brett

Hello,


My name is Paul, I have various experience of sheds & also cabin building.


May I ask your reasons for not wanting a flat pack shed? In my experience, they tend to be rather good value, whatever price / quality range you opt for.


Second post up here asking for a scratch built shed, in a month or so. Last guy was unnecessarily rude when I enquired into his motivations. Reasons I could think of would be that you want something super cheap (osb sheets, which wouldn't weather well & would only really be cheaper if you do all the labour yourself) or something really high end, for habitation.


Be happy to discuss with you,


Paul

Ah, OK. Well, I suppose that the reasoning behind it is to make the most of the foundations. And, the back wall curves a bit and is not precisely straight.

Perhaps you are right guys - maybe I should go looking for a flat pack shed and try mu luck with the dimensions.

Thanks for the advice - I'll get back to you if I need some help.


(This is my first post about the shed, so it was not me who was rude!!)

Honestly, laying a new concrete slab is not a big job for a pro. Orders of magnitude simpler than building a bespoke shed from scratch.


Empire sheds are good quality... would look great with a nice coat of paint too.

    • Yes! It was dressed up like a winter wonderland but they only sold Christmas trees and maybe some hot chocolate. It was in the west / downhill end of the park.
    • Do you mean there was a fair in the middle of Goose Green one year  solely for the purpose of selling Christmas trees? In which case, no 🤣
    • I highly recommend Paul - installed security light and camera - super efficient - arrived exactly when agreed and carried out the work efficiently and tidily - sensible charging too.
    • An interesting point.  In my work I met lots of different people in different circumstances; individuals finding themselves through no fault of their own, living in such houses having inherited them, but not themselves having the means to pay to keep them so they  moved away, or they simply didn't want to move from the place of their family life through generations.  Some of us may think a nice problem to have, but emotionally very difficult a situation to be in.  I agree that income tax always seems to be a fairer way.  My bugbear is and always be taxing private pensions, when one has already paid tax on the earnings that make them up!  The entire amount makes up the tax and not just taxed on the interest made since.
