Solid foundations matter, especially with Colliers Wood's mix of clay soil and Victorian-era drainage systems. Whether you're planning a shed, conservatory, or garage, the right concrete base makes all the difference.

Those narrow Victorian terraces around Merton High Street present unique challenges when laying concrete bases. Access through side returns barely wide enough for a wheelbarrow means traditional methods often fall short. Years of working between railway embankments and cramped gardens has taught us exactly how to manoeuvre materials and equipment through the tightest spots.
Proper ground preparation prevents future headaches. First comes excavation to the correct depth, accounting for any old Anderson shelter foundations still lurking beneath Colliers Wood gardens. Steel reinforcement mesh gets positioned precisely before the concrete pour begins. The final power float finish creates that perfectly smooth surface, ready for whatever structure you have planned.
Local knowledge counts when dealing with SW19's quirky ground conditions. Having laid bases for everything from artist studios near Wandle Park to workshop extensions behind Baltic Close, we understand this area inside out.

Most shed bases (3x3m) run between £650-£900, while larger garage foundations typically range from £1,800-£3,500 depending on ground conditions and access restrictions common in SW19's older streets.
Absolutely - from the industrial units near Plough Lane right through to residential properties backing onto Wandle Park, we cover all of SW19 plus neighbouring Mitcham, Tooting and Wimbledon.
Smaller bases usually complete within 1-2 days, though larger projects might need 3-4 days including excavation and curing time.
Every base carries our decade-long structural warranty covering any settlement or cracking issues - peace of mind that your investment stays rock solid.
Definitely - we incorporate French drains and use waterproof membranes where needed, particularly important given how close parts of Colliers Wood sit to the River Wandle flood plain.
