Shed Installation & Repair

We can build the shed foundation, which is the first and most important step in the installation process. To construct a useful, durable construction, a good base is absolutely required. Regardless matter how well-built the structure is, a weak foundation will cause your shed to crumble over time.

We are capable of installing various types of shed construction:

A) All-wood construction (wood frame, wood siding, and wood roof): This is the most traditional and natural option for your shed. Wood sheds are easy to customise, paint, and decorate. They also blend well with the environment and provide good insulation. However, wood sheds require regular maintenance, such as painting, staining, and sealing, to prevent rot, insects, and fire. Wood sheds are also more expensive than other materials.

B) Metal cladding over a metal frame (steel or galvanised aluminium): This is a durable and economical option for your shed. Metal sheds are resistant to rot, insects, and fire. They are also easy to assemble and transport. However, metal sheds are prone to corrosion and denting. They also tend to be noisy during rain or hail and may have condensation issues. Metal sheds are not very attractive and may rust over time.

C) Plastic cladding and frame (polyethylene or vinyl resin): This is a modern and low-maintenance option for your shed. Plastic sheds are lightweight, strong, and weatherproof. They do not rust, rot, or dent. They are also easy to clean and do not need painting. However, plastic sheds are not very sturdy and may warp or crack under extreme temperatures. They are also difficult to customise and may fade or discolour over time. Plastic sheds are not very eco-friendly and may emit harmful chemicals.

D) Vinyl-sided sheds built over a wooden frame: This is a hybrid option that combines the best of both worlds. Vinyl-sided sheds have a wooden frame that provides strength and stability, and a vinyl siding that provides protection and aesthetics. Vinyl-sided sheds are durable, low-maintenance, and attractive. They are resistant to rot, insects, and fire. They are also easy to clean and do not need painting.

However, vinyl-sided sheds are more expensive than other materials and may have limited design options. Vinyl-sided sheds may also crack or peel under extreme weather conditions.

Each style has advantages and disadvantages that the client must consider. Metal outdoor sheds, which may be made from either steel or galvanised aluminium, offer durability at a fairly reasonable cost, while metal is prone to corrosion and denting. Metal, on the other hand, can be the perfect material for your outdoor shed if budget is your first priority.

Additionally, Handylad London offers shed repair services. If the damage is minor, such as rotting flooring or ceiling panels, the cost of repairs will be low and the work will be justified. However, you’ll almost likely be better off repairing the shed if your frame or foundation is damaged or if the building has significant water damage. We can assess the condition of your shed and provide you with the best solution for your situation. We can also help you upgrade or renovate your shed to suit your changing needs and preferences.

At Handylad London, we are committed to providing you with the highest quality of service and satisfaction. We are passionate about sheds and we want to help you create the shed of your dreams.
