Bin stores

What it is

We fit composite and aluminium bin stores for one, two or three wheelie bins, on a level paved pad with a path to the kerb, so the bins are hidden and easy to get out on collection day.

Bin stores

Hidden, but easy to use

A bin store only works if the bins come out easily, so we lay a level paved pad, check the lids open fully inside, and give you a level route to the kerb.

Planning

A 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. Planning Portal: outbuildings

“Lewis and the team have just finished a small block paving drive and a porcelain patio in our garden. They arrived on time and were neat and tidy, work all looks as it should. We would use them again.”

Questions

Things people ask us

How much does a bin store cost?
A single wheelie bin store fitted on a level paved base starts from about £1,000. Two and three bin stores, and any new path to the kerb, are priced on the visit.
Will my wheelie bins fit in a fitted bin store?
We measure your bins first. Standard 240-litre wheelie bins fit, and we check the lid can open fully inside the store.
Can a bin store go in the front garden?
Often, but in front of the house it technically needs the council's say-so, so we check before building it.
Do I need planning permission for a bin store?
A bin store at the side or back of a house normally needs no planning permission. One in front of the house technically falls outside householder permitted development, so it is worth checking with the council, and on listed houses, in Stamford's conservation area and in Rutland villages with Article 4 directions, a front-garden store or pad can need an application. We check your address before building one at the front.
Are composite, wooden or metal bin stores best?
Composite and aluminium bin stores last longest for the least effort: they do not rot, rust or need painting, and a wash down keeps them looking right. Timber stores look good at first but need treating every year or two and can swell so the doors stick. Plastic stores are cheap but light and flimsy. That is why the stores we fit are composite and aluminium.
What size bin store do I need for wheelie bins?
Most households need a bin store sized for standard 240-litre wheelie bins, which are roughly 580mm wide, 740mm deep and 1,070mm tall, plus clearance each side and enough height for the lid to open fully inside. Larger 360-litre bins need a bigger store. Count every bin and recycling box the council has given you, because they vary, and measure them before choosing a store.
Does a bin store need a concrete base?
A bin store needs a firm, level base, and a paved pad on a dug and compacted sub-base is what we build, rather than standing it on grass, soil or loose gravel. On soft ground the store tilts, doors bind and wheels sink, and on gravel the bins are hard to wheel out. The store is then fixed down to the pad so it cannot blow over or shift.
Will a bin store stop smells, foxes and flies?
A bin store keeps foxes, cats and birds away from the bins because the lids and doors shut them out, but it will not stop smells on its own. Slatted composite stores let air move through, so bins dry out and smell less than they would in a sealed box. Keeping bin lids shut, rinsing the bins now and then and siting the store in shade rather than full sun help most.
How long does it take to fit a bin store?
Fitting a single bin store on a new paved pad is typically a one-day job: dig out and level, lay the sub-base and paving, then assemble and fix the store and adjust the doors and lids. Larger stores, a new path to the kerb or awkward ground can add a day. When the store is part of a driveway or path job, it is usually built at the same time.
Can a bin store be locked?
Many bin stores can be locked, with a padlock hasp or lockable catch on the doors and lids, which helps where passers-by help themselves to the bins. Collection crews will not open a locked store, so the bins still need wheeling to the kerb on collection day. A store fixed down to its pad is also much harder to move or tip over.
Can a bin store have a planted roof?
Yes, some bin stores come with a planter tray roof for sedum or other low plants, which softens a front garden and catches a little rainwater. A planted roof is heavy when wet, so the frame and fixings have to be up to it, and the plants need watering in a dry summer. Check how the lids open too, because a heavy planted lid is harder to lift.
