“I was so impressed when the area where the new shed is going was discovered to be one inch narrower than I thought, the guys contacted the shed company to ask them to make the shed one inch smaller … High quality work, very tidy and decent people.”

I was so impressed when the area where the new shed is going was discovered to be one inch narrower than I thought, the guys contacted the shed company to ask them to make the shed one inch smaller … High quality work, very tidy and decent people.

Mark · TrustATrader

I recently had a team demolish an old shed and install a new concrete base. The workers were friendly, extremely hard‑working, and kept everything tidy throughout the job. They took the time to assess the existing base properly and didn’t push for unnecessary work, which I really appreciated.

Paul · TrustATrader

Provided me with quote the same day of contacting them. Came ahead of time to measure up to ensure materials were ready for the works. On the day they arrived on time … and left the garden tidy after they had finished.

FAQ

Before your building arrives

Anything else? Call 020 8938 3824.

How much does a concrete base cost?

It depends on the size, the specification, location, access and ground level. We give fast, free estimates on request.

How long does it take?

Typically 1 to 4 days, depending on size and complexity.

When can my shed or cabin go on it?

The concrete usually cures enough to build on in 2 to 7 days, depending on the weather.

Do I need planning permission?

It usually depends on the size and height of the building, distance from boundaries, its use, and whether water or waste runs to it. Check with your council.

What if my garden slopes?

We level the ground or adjust the design: sometimes a raised base with steps, sometimes excavation and retaining walls in sleepers or brick.

Which areas do you cover?

Mostly Essex, London, Middlesex, Kent, Hertfordshire, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, and further afield across the UK. Call 020 8938 3824
