Garden Sheds in Old Catton

Working around mature trees and old walls

Plenty of Old Catton gardens have a big oak or a run of old flint and brick wall that a standard shed would fight with. We measure the actual spot, allow for roots and overhanging branches, and build to a footprint and roof pitch that fits. A pent roof sloping away from the boundary, a slightly shorter back wall, or a shed built in two sections to go either side of a tree are all things we have done here.

Finishes that suit older houses

With a Victorian or 1930s house behind it, a shed looks better with tongue-and-groove cladding, a decent roof overhang and a painted finish rather than orange dip-treated boards. We can supply the shed ready for your chosen colour or finish it for you, and add a traditional window, a stable door or a small porch roof over the entrance if you want it to read as a proper garden building.

Potting sheds, workshops and quiet rooms

We fit a lot of potting sheds and hobby workshops in Old Catton, with benches under the window, shelving and room for a small heater. If you are thinking further than storage, the same team builds insulated garden rooms and offices, so a shed can be the first step or we can talk about a fully lined building from the start.

Conservation area notes

Part of Old Catton around the church and the park is a conservation area. Garden sheds are usually still permitted development, but height and position near boundaries can matter, so we give you the dimensions in writing to check with Broadland council before we build. Delivery and assembly are done on the day by our own fitters.
