Shed Painting Services
We treat all types of garden timber structures across Richmond upon Thames, from small utility sheds to large summerhouses and timber garden rooms.
Garden Sheds
Garden sheds across the borough range from small lean-to structures to substantial timber workshops. The treatment approach depends on the shed’s current coating, its condition, and the level of exposure.
We work through the full process: scraping back loose paint, applying wood hardener to soft areas, priming where needed, and finishing with a quality exterior stain or paint. The result allows timber to breathe and move with seasonal changes.
Timber Outbuildings
Larger timber outbuildings — including workshops, log stores, and home offices in the garden — are treated as full exterior painting projects. These structures often have more surface area and more complex preparation needs than a standard shed.
For exterior painting programmes that include a substantial garden building, we schedule the outbuilding alongside the main house exterior so the result looks considered rather than added as an afterthought.
Summerhouses
Summerhouses are often more visible in the garden and clients invest more in their appearance. Summerhouses in 1930s detached gardens in Hampton and Teddington are frequently painted in a heritage tone that coordinates with the main house exterior.
We advise on colour selection, sheen level, and product choice. A semi-gloss or satin finish on vertical cladding gives better weather resistance than a flat exterior emulsion.
Fence and Shed Combined
Combining shed and fence painting in a single visit is the most efficient approach for most garden timber programmes. One mobilisation, consistent colour, and a single quote covers the whole job.
We also include gate posts, trellis panels, and pergolas in combined programmes where clients want all the garden timber treated at once.
Preservative Treatments
For sheds and outbuildings showing early signs of weathering, a penetrating preservative treatment is the right first step. This feeds into the grain and provides protection without forming a surface film that can later crack and peel.
Annual or biennial preservative treatment is a low-cost maintenance approach that prevents the more expensive strip-and-repaint job. Many clients across Kew and Richmond have us treat sheds on a regular schedule as part of an ongoing maintenance agreement.

Shed Painting Costs in London
Prices below are estimates only. Every shed is different. Call 020 4572 8995 for a precise quote.
Structure Size and Surface Area
A small utility shed in an East Sheen garden takes three to four hours. A large workshop or garden room in Hampton with multiple elevations and window sections takes a full day or more.
Shed and outbuilding treatment typically ranges from £250 for a small garden shed to £700 or more for a large timber summerhouse with complex preparation needs.
Existing Coating Condition
A shed painted in oil-based gloss that has cracked and peeled needs significantly more preparation than one with a sound existing stain that just needs a refresh coat. We assess the extent of preparation needed at the site visit.
Treatment System
A penetrating preservative costs less than a full strip, hardener, prime, and stain programme. We specify the right system based on the structure’s condition and expected service life.
- Shed in a Whitton TW2 1930s semi: £250 to £450
- Timber summerhouse in Hampton TW12: £350 to £600
- Large garden room or workshop in Kew TW9: £500 to £850
Combining shed treatment with fence painting and deck painting in a single visit reduces the overall cost per element compared to booking each job separately.
