Premium Garden Sheds in Costessey

The CGC Standard: Quality in Every Detail

We believe a shed should be built to the same high standards as any other garden structure. Here is what sets our range apart:

• Solid Timber Construction: You won't find any OSB (chipboard) in our buildings. We use high grade 12mm Tongue and Groove cladding for the roof and floor as standard, ensuring a solid, durable finish that handles moisture far better than cheaper alternatives.
• Robust Framing: Strength starts with the frame. Our sheds utilize superior framing sizes for structural rigidity, with the option to upgrade to Heavy Duty framing for a workshop grade build.
• Premium Fittings: We pay attention to the small details that make a big difference, using high standard hinges, latches, and fixings for smooth operation and better security.

The Ultimate Upgrade: EPDM Rubber Roofing

The roof is the most critical part of any garden building. For the best possible protection, we highly recommend upgrading to an EPDM synthetic rubber roof.

Used in professional construction and pond liners, EPDM is a high performance material designed to be:

• Incredibly Durable: With a life expectancy of up to 40 years, it far outlasts traditional felt.
• Maintenance Free: It is highly resistant to tearing and weathering, removing the need for regular re felting.
• Protective: By providing a superior watertight seal, it protects the timber beneath, ensuring your shed stays dry and rot-free for decades.

A Complete Service: Bases & Installation

To ensure your shed performs its best, it needs a level, stable foundation. We take the hassle out of the process by offering a full groundworks service.

If you don't already have a base, we can supply and install:

• Paving Slab Bases for a classic, heavy-duty foundation.
• Gravel Grids for a modern, free-draining, and stable base.

Choosing the Right Garden Shed for Costessey

Practical layouts for NR5 and NR8 gardens

Shed installs in Costessey often sit between older village plots and newer estate gardens. A few local factors can make the choice easier:

• Access through side returns: On Queen's Hills and Lodge Farm, side access can be narrow, with bins, meters, and air source units competing for space. Sectional buildings are a sensible option because materials can be carried through in parts.
• Making the most of compact rectangles: Many newer plots are neat and shallow. A pent roof shed can keep height down at the boundary and free up the middle of the garden for seating or play.
• Storage that fits how the garden is used: In Old Costessey, gardens can be longer and less uniform. That can suit wider doors for bikes and mowers, or a slightly larger footprint if the shed is doubling as a hobby space.

Shed Bases in Costessey: Groundworks and Foundation Advice

Keeping bases level and dry

A shed is only as good as the base it sits on. In Costessey, a few conditions tend to come up regularly:

• Drainage on newer plots: Gardens on Queen's Hills and Lodge Farm can sit on compacted ground. A free draining gravel grid base can help keep the floor drier after heavy rain.
• Levels toward the Tud valley: Some lawns drop away toward the River Tud. A paving slab base makes it easier to create a true level platform, which protects the frame and keeps doors working smoothly.
• Edges and boundaries: If the shed sits close to a fence line, we keep clear airflow around the building so moisture does not get trapped behind cladding.
