Question 1

Do you install in Currie and Balerno?

Accepted Answer

Yes — both Currie and Balerno are core service areas. We know the local terrain and conditions well.

Question 2

What about exposed Pentland-edge weather?

Accepted Answer

We use extra-secure fixings and heavy-duty felt on exposed positions, with pressure treatment recommended for maximum longevity.

Question 3

Can you build a large workshop in Balerno?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — Balerno's generous plots are ideal for large workshops up to 20×10. We'll survey the best position and base type.

Question 4

How much does a concrete shed base cost in Edinburgh?

Accepted Answer

A concrete shed base in Edinburgh typically costs between £400 and £1,200 depending on size, ground conditions, and access. A 6×4 base starts around £400, while a 10×8 base with reinforcement mesh runs closer to £900–£1,200. We include base costs in our all-in quotes.

Question 5

Do I need planning permission for a shed in Edinburgh?

Accepted Answer

Most garden sheds in Edinburgh fall under permitted development and don't need planning permission, provided they're single-storey, behind the principal elevation, and cover no more than 50% of the garden. Conservation areas like the New Town have stricter rules — we advise checking with City of Edinburgh Council.

Question 6

What is the maximum shed height without planning permission in Scotland?

Accepted Answer

In Scotland, a shed can be up to 4 metres high with a ridged roof (apex) or 3 metres with a flat or mono-pitched roof (pent) without requiring planning permission, provided it meets all other permitted development criteria.

Question 7

Can I put a shed in my front garden in Edinburgh?

Accepted Answer

No, sheds in front gardens generally require planning permission in Edinburgh because permitted development only covers structures behind the principal elevation of the house. Always check with City of Edinburgh Council before installing a shed in a front or side garden.
