Bin stores in Oakham: what is involved
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.
Oakham mixes three kinds of street: the old town around the castle, All Saints and the Market Place, built in limestone and warm ironstone; Victorian and interwar terraces and semis off Brooke Road, Braunston Road and Burley Road; and the newer estates at Barleythorpe and Oakham Heights, where builder-grade drives are often replaced within a few years.
We cover Oakham (LE15) and the villages around it, including Barleythorpe, Langham, Braunston-in-Rutland, Egleton, Whissendine, Cottesmore, Greetham, Burley, Ashwell and Exton.
Ground and conservation in Oakham
Oakham sits in the Vale of Catmose, and the ground around much of the town is heavy clay that holds water through the winter. Base depth and drainage are where Oakham drives succeed or fail, so we dig a test hole and design the soakaway, channel or permeable build-up on the visit. On the clay around Oakham we dig the base below the topsoil and build it thicker, so it does not move with the seasons.
The Oakham conservation area covers the historic centre, but Oakham has no Article 4 direction, so outside listed buildings the normal permitted development rules apply, with the usual conservation area limits.

Permissions in Oakham
- 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 Oakham conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed. Planning Portal: outbuildings
