Bin stores in Empingham
Bin stores for Empingham's generous plots, where the walk to the kerb on collection day is often as important as the store itself.
A single wheelie bin store fitted on a level paved base in Empingham starts from about £1,000 as a guide price. Two and three bin stores, and any new path to the kerb, are priced on the visit. Because plots here are often generous, the length and surface of the route to the kerb is usually the key local consideration, along with wet ground near the North Brook.

Bin stores in Empingham
Empingham sits at the eastern end of Rutland Water, below the dam, and plenty of its houses have generous plots. That is good news for space and less good for collection day, when full bins have to travel a fair way to the kerb. Gravel, lawn and loose stone make that a chore. We fit composite slatted stores with aluminium doors for one, two or three bins on a level paved pad, and we look closely at the route out.
Sometimes the answer is a store near the front with a short walk to the road. Sometimes the bins are better near the kitchen door, with a firm paved path to the kerb. We measure your bins, check the lids open fully inside the store and talk through where you actually want them, including how often you wheel them out. You get a guide figure on the day and a fixed price in writing afterwards.
What makes Empingham different
Empingham is on the limestone side of Rutland, and much of the village drains reasonably well, which suits a straightforward pad on a good sub-base. The exception is ground near the North Brook, which runs through the village on its way to the Gwash and keeps the land beside it wet. A pad there needs a deeper, firmer base and a fall that sends water away from the house. In the stone-built centre, natural paving is the safe choice in the conservation area.
On a stone house in the centre, a typical job is a one or two bin store at the side, on a pad in natural paving. On the larger plots at the edge of the village, it is often a two or three bin store set back from the road, with a new paved path to the kerb replacing a walk across gravel or grass.

Permissions in Empingham
- PlanningA bin store at the side or back of the house is normally permitted development. In front of the house, a free-standing store technically falls outside householder permitted development, so we check with the council before building one there. Listed buildings and the Empingham conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed. Planning Portal: outbuildings
- Design and priceWe measure up, check the ground and the planning position, and give you one fixed written price.
