Built for Stockbridge's Colonies, Tenements & Villas
Stockbridge (EH3, with the EH4 fringe at Comely Bank and Inverleith) is one of Edinburgh's most beautiful and most awkward-to-build-in neighbourhoods. Between the Colonies, the tenement rows off Raeburn Place, the villas of Dean and Deanhaugh, and the shared back greens off Henderson Row, there's almost no such thing as a straightforward install. Vehicle access to the rear is rare. Space is tight. Neighbours share drying greens. Almost everything sits inside the New Town Conservation Area.
We've made Stockbridge one of our core postcodes because we love the challenge. Every EH3 shed is pre-cut in our Edinburgh workshop to the exact width of your close, hand-carried by two joiners, and finished on-site in a paint that matches your railings. You get a real fitted price, a firm date, and a shed that respects the street it's behind.

How We Build in Stockbridge
New Town Conservation Area
Comely Bank, Dean, Raeburn Place, Inverleith and the wider Stockbridge core all sit within the New Town Conservation Area. Standard sheds behind the rear elevation are usually permitted development, but we always check on the free survey and, where needed, prep the paperwork for a Conservation Area consent.
Colonies & tenement access
The Stockbridge Colonies, Glenogle and Reid Terrace have no vehicle access to rear gardens — everything is hand-carried down external stairs or through a shared close. We pre-cut every panel to the exact door width and use two-man lifts. No lawn or tiled close is left marked.
Shared drying greens & neighbours
Many EH3 tenements have a communal back green with rights-of-common. We liaise with your factor or neighbours before install day, use low-profile bases that don't lock in the ground, and keep the footprint tight so shared use is preserved.
Compact, high-spec builds
Stockbridge gardens are small but expectations are high. Most orders here are premium: 19mm shiplap, factory-primed doors, Georgian glazing, EPDM roofs and heritage-matched paint. We build small sheds to garden-office standard, because that's what fits Stockbridge.
Common Stockbridge Challenges — and how we solve them
No vehicle access to rear gardens off Reid Terrace, Glenogle or Bell Place
Every panel pre-cut in our workshop; two-man hand-carry down the close or stairs.
Shared back greens with factor and neighbour rights
We help you draft a courtesy note and use low-impact bases that don't fix into shared ground.
New Town Conservation Area rules on visible structures
Free pre-survey planning check; we prep Conservation Area consent if needed.
Tight footprints in colony gardens (often under 4m deep)
Custom-sized sheds down to 4×3 with pent roofs, so nothing overhangs your neighbour's fence.
Georgian-era sash windows and railings to match
On-site painting in Sadolin heritage tones matched to Farrow & Ball Downpipe, Studio Green or Off-Black.
Original stone flags and mosaic close tiles to protect
Protection boards over every close tile and stair tread; deposit-refundable damage policy.

What Stockbridge Customers Say
"We're in a colony flat with a tiny back garden and zero vehicle access. Two other companies said no. Edinburgh Shed Centre pre-cut everything in the workshop and carried it down the stairs — took a full day, zero mess, the shed is beautiful."
Alice R., Reid Terrace
6×4 pent colony shed · Stockbridge EH3
"Really thorough on the conservation-area rules. They confirmed our 8×6 apex was permitted development in writing before we paid a deposit. Install was clean and the painted finish matches our sash windows exactly."
David M., Comely Bank
8×6 apex shed · Stockbridge EH3
"Wanted a compact garden office we could actually work from year-round. 10×8, fully insulated, EPDM roof, hardwired to the house. Warm on the coldest January morning. Worth every penny."
Priya S., Inverleith Row
10×8 insulated garden room · Stockbridge EH3
"Shared back green so we needed sign-off from three neighbours. The team helped us draft the note, kept the footprint low, and finished in a day. Neighbours actually complimented it after."
