What goes into a base

  • Excavation to the right depth and removal of soft spots
  • A compacted hardcore layer to support the slab
  • A damp-proof membrane under the concrete
  • Formwork set to level and to the right falls
  • Reinforcement mesh where the load or size calls for it
  • Concrete poured, levelled and finished to suit what goes on top

What bases are used for

Sheds and cabins

A flat, true base to stop twisting and rot.

Hot tubs

A strong, level slab that carries the full weight of the tub and water.

Workshops and garages

Heavier bases built to suit the load.

The right thickness and reinforcement depend on what the base will carry. We specify it for your use, not just a standard slab.

Questions

Concrete Bases: common questions

How thick should a concrete base be?

It depends on what is going on it. A shed base is lighter than one for a log cabin, hot tub or vehicle. We specify this for you.

How long before I can use the base?

Concrete needs time to cure. We tell you when it is safe to build or place the structure on it.

Can you build a base on a slope?

Yes. We cut and level the ground, or build up and retain it, depending on the site.

Can you pave over the base?

Yes. We can finish bases with paving or other surfaces to match the rest of the garden.
