Bin stores in Ketton
Bin stores for Ketton homes, with pads in buff and natural tones that sit well against the village's cream Ketton stone.
In Ketton, a single wheelie bin store fitted on a level paved base 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 main local consideration is appearance: older Ketton houses are built of cream Ketton stone, so the pad and store should be in buff and natural tones rather than grey.

Bin stores in Ketton
Ketton gave its name to Ketton stone, and the cream oolitic limestone of the older streets sets the tone for anything new you put in front of a house. A grey concrete pad and a dark plastic bin box look out of place against it. We fit composite slatted stores with aluminium doors for one, two or three bins, and we choose paving for the pad in buff and natural tones that sit comfortably beside the stone.
Around the historic core, the later 20th-century houses and bungalows usually have more room, and a side store with a path to the kerb is often the neatest answer. Wherever it goes, we measure your bins, check the lids open fully inside the store and look at the ground before designing the pad, whether you are in the village itself or nearby in Tinwell, Collyweston or Barrowden. A guide price is given on the visit, and a fixed price follows in writing.
What makes Ketton different
Ketton is on the Lincolnshire Limestone, which usually drains well, so a pad on high ground in the village rarely needs much more than a good sub-base and a fall. Near the River Chater it is a different matter. Ketton has the only Environment Agency flood warning area in Rutland, and ground close to the river can stay wet. We test before building, so a pad near the Chater gets the base and run-off route it needs, and one higher up is not over-engineered.
On one of Ketton's stone cottages, a typical job is a compact one or two bin store tucked to the side or rear, on a pad in buff paving. On the later bungalows and houses around the core, it is usually a two or three bin store beside the house with a short paved path to the pavement.

Permissions in Ketton
- 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 Ketton 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.
