Bin stores in Greetham
Bin stores for Greetham homes, giving the bins a level paved pad and a firm route out instead of a struggle across old gravel.
A bin store in Greetham starts from about £1,000 for a single wheelie bin store fitted on a level paved base, as a guide price. Two and three bin stores, and any new path to the kerb, are priced on the visit. The most common local issue is gravel: many Greetham drives have been gravel for decades, and wheelie bins do not roll across it.

Bin stores in Greetham
Anyone who has pulled a full wheelie bin across a gravel drive knows the problem. The wheels dig in, the bin tips, and the stones end up on the pavement. In Greetham, where many drives are only now being replaced after decades of gravel, it is a common reason people call us. We fit composite slatted stores with aluminium doors for one, two or three bins on a level paved pad, never on soil or gravel, with a firm route to the kerb.
If the drive itself is being widened or replaced, the bin store and its path can be built at the same time. If it is staying as gravel, a paved strip from the store to the road solves most of the trouble. We measure your bins, check the lids open fully inside the store and give a guide price on the visit, followed by a fixed price in writing, whether you are in Greetham itself or nearby in Stretton or Clipsham.
What makes Greetham different
Greetham sits on the Lincolnshire Limestone, which generally drains well, so most pads here need a good sub-base and a sensible fall rather than anything elaborate. Rutland's flood strategy does name Greetham among the places with a few properties at river flood risk, so on low-lying plots we take more care over the base and where the run-off goes. In the historic core, stone-coloured paving for the pad suits the village better than grey.
On one of Greetham's stone cottages, a typical job is a one or two bin store at the side, on a stone-coloured pad. On the later infill and estate houses, it is usually a two or three bin store beside the drive, with a paved strip to the road replacing a stretch of old gravel.

Permissions in Greetham
- 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 Greetham 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.
