Bin stores in Great Bowden
Bin stores for Great Bowden homes around the greens and lanes, in materials that respect the ironstone, brick and thatch around them.
A single wheelie bin store fitted on a level paved base in Great Bowden starts from about £1,000 as a guide, with two and three bin stores and any new path to the kerb priced on the visit. The key local consideration is character: the village has a conservation area around its greens and a neighbourhood plan with design policies, so road-facing work should respect the materials around it.

Bin stores in Great Bowden
Great Bowden is a village of greens, with ironstone, brick and thatched houses set around them and along its lanes. Many homes face straight onto a green, so whatever sits in front of the house is very visible. A row of wheelie bins spoils that quickly. We fit composite slatted stores with aluminium doors for one, two or three bins on a level paved pad, positioned and finished so they sit quietly in the setting.
The later housing on the village edges usually has more room and less to worry about visually, and a side store with a path to the kerb is the simple answer. Wherever you are in the village, or nearby in Welham, Slawston or Foxton, 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.
What makes Great Bowden different
Great Bowden has a conservation area covering the historic village and its greens, and a neighbourhood plan, first made in 2018, with policies on design and character. For a bin store facing the road, that means choosing a position and paving that respect the materials around it. The ground is the other consideration: the village sits on the slow-draining clays and mudstones of the Welland valley, so we build a proper base for the pad and design the route for its water first.
On an older house facing one of the greens, a typical job is a one or two bin store at the side, on a pad in paving chosen to sit with the ironstone or brick. On the later houses at the village edges, it is usually a two or three bin store beside the drive with a short path to the road.

Permissions in Great Bowden
- 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 Great Bowden 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.

“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.”
