That sloping garden in Banstead doesn't have to limit your storage options. From compact shed bases to substantial garage foundations, proper groundwork transforms challenging terrain into usable space.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces near Banstead station often struggle with narrow access and uneven rear gardens. Modern solutions involve precision-mixed concrete pumped through restricted spaces, creating level platforms without the disruption of traditional methods. Those characterful period properties deserve foundations that last as long as the buildings they support.
Ground preparation begins with excavating to stable subsoil, typically 150-200mm in Surrey's chalk-heavy terrain. Steel mesh reinforcement sits within a 100mm concrete pour, creating a monolithic slab resistant to seasonal movement. Damp-proof membranes prevent moisture migration, particularly crucial given Banstead's position on the North Downs escarpment where water tables fluctuate dramatically.
Twenty years working across SM7 means knowing which suppliers deliver promptly to Nork's cul-de-sacs. Local knowledge prevents costly delays when navigating Epsom Downs' restricted access routes during race meetings.

Basic shed bases (6x4ft) start around £450-600, while double garage foundations (5x5m) typically range £1,800-2,500 depending on ground conditions and access constraints common to SM7 properties.
Absolutely - from Park Road's larger plots to the compact gardens off High Street, throughout SM7 including Tadworth borders and up towards Epsom Downs racecourse.
Smaller bases complete within 48 hours including excavation, while garage-sized projects need 3-4 days accounting for cure time between stages.
Each base carries decade-long structural coverage against settlement or cracking, with certification confirming compliance to current building regulations for Surrey properties.
Previous hardstanding requires assessment - sometimes integration saves costs, though complete removal ensures optimal load distribution, particularly important with Banstead's variable chalk substrata.
