Hi,
I've just bought my brand new House and have also bought a Shed as well, it's a 6x8 plastic Keter Shed.
I need a base building for it at the bottom of the garden, it's a slightly sloped lawn, I have had a quote for £720 which includes
8ft x 6ft base.
Dig out and dispose of soil.
Fit 4 x 2.4 sleepers around edge of base.
Fill area with millwaste and compact.
Lay 12 x 2x2 ft slabs for base.
Lay 4 x450mmx 450mm buff slabs across front of base.
Price includes all materials, labour, tool hire and removal of waste from site.
Does this sound reasonable, or should I get a couple more quotes? I don't know anything about building bases for Sheds but I wasn't expecting it would be several hundred pounds.
The guy also said it would be better to have to the Shed sideways along the bottom of the garden with the side facing the house as there would be less slope to work with. I would prefer it with the Shed door facing the house.
