Question 1

Can you install on a slope in Penicuik?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — sloping sites are our speciality. We offer levelled concrete and timber bases to suit Penicuik's Pentland-foot terrain.

Question 2

Do you deliver to rural Penicuik?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we cover all of Penicuik and the surrounding rural areas, including properties along the Pentland edge.

Question 3

What base works best on a hill?

Accepted Answer

For hillside sites, we recommend a stepped concrete base or adjustable timber frame that creates a perfectly level platform.

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.
