And do empty the shed first, of course.

A few bricks or small flagstones might do it, but you'll still probably need help to lift the shed safely or move it around - and a spirit level!

Thanks Freddie! Good idea about concrete resting points. Thanks. :-)

Have you got room to have a concrete base built near or next to it? Sounds quite a small shed. Two or three people could probably move it to this new base. Otherwise a builder could jack it up and create concrete piles at each resting point. Depends on accessibility though.

Hi Clifford, it’s a 6 x 4 I think, wooden. The problem is there isn’t a proper base, and it’s just beginning to tip. It’s only about 18 months old.

Hi Natalie, you don't say what the hut is made from nor how large it is or the nature and extent of the subsidence, all helpful details to assist in a satisfactory resolution to the problem. Its far too easy to get ripped off by a convincing builder unless prepared. Hope this helps.
