Bin stores in Kettering
Close to Kettering town centre and along the Headlands, many Victorian and Edwardian homes have small front gardens and no side access, so the bins live at the front whether you like it or not. A well-built store there makes a real difference to how the house looks from the street. We fit composite slatted stores with aluminium doors for one, two or three bins, on a level paved pad with a clear route to the pavement.
Further out, on the interwar and post-war estates, at Barton Seagrave and on the new Hanwood Park development, there is usually more room and the store can go at the side. Wherever it goes, we measure your bins, make sure the lids open fully inside and look at the ground underneath. You get a guide price on the visit and a fixed price in writing once the position and pad are agreed.
What makes Kettering different
Ground around Kettering ranges from ironstone to clay, and new-build plots are often compacted subsoil under a thin layer of topsoil. A paving pad needs a proper sub-base on either, so we check what is under the spot before choosing the build-up. Planning is the other local wrinkle. With 26 conservation areas, including the town centre and Barton Seagrave, and Article 4 directions that mostly cover individual streets or buildings, the rules can differ between neighbouring roads, so we check your exact address first.
On a Victorian terrace near the centre, a typical job is a one or two bin store in the front garden on a small paved pad, opening straight onto the pavement. On a Hanwood Park or Barton Seagrave home, it is more often a two or three bin store at the side of the house, with a paved path out to the front.

Permissions in Kettering
- 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 Kettering 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.
