Looking to join the Big Tin Shed community?
We don’t currently have units available to rent at the Big Tin Shed, but we expect to have a one or two become available in the spring of 2025. Read on and get in touch if you would like more information on having a space.
Our 26 units vary in size from 9.5m2 to 45m2 and are currently let at an inclusive rent of between £9 and 12 per m2 per month, depending on type / grade of space. Rental rates are subject to an annual review in April – these rates are the April 2025 rates.
Larger units can be shared. Our electric-powered roller shutter door allows vehicles to be temporarily brought into BTS for loading / unloading. On the ground floor is a shared kitchen, with kettle, toaster, microwave and fridge, and two toilets and basins. The first floor has a messy sink.

Rent paid to Big Tin Shed covers
- a share of BTS’ headlease rent and insurance rent paid to our landlord
- electricity daily standing charges and common areas power
- a share of the water and drainage fees
- our own company insurance
- the cost of providing hot drinks, cleaning and bathroom consumables
- the cost of the administrator and annual accounts preparation

All rents are paid by Standing Order one month in advance. There is a £100 returnable bond and a £15 returnable key deposit. Tenancy agreements offer an initial six- or twelve- month term and are then on a rolling basis with a minimum of a full calendar month’s notice to terminate needed from the tenant.
