A well-built base is the difference between a stable structure and ongoing problems with movement, doors sticking, or pooling water. Fine Landscaping installs concrete bases across Bayswater, from compact courtyards near Queensway to larger gardens edging Kensington Gardens. Whether you need a shed base, greenhouse base or hot tub base, we build to the right depth and finish for the load. Every base is set out accurately so your supplier’s dimensions fit first time.
Bayswater’s mix of stucco townhouses, mansion conversions and period flats often comes with shared access routes, basement levels and carefully landscaped communal areas. We’re used to working around existing paving, planting and boundary walls while keeping noise and disruption controlled. For clients in W2, we also plan pours and deliveries to suit restricted access and building management requirements. The result is a clean, professional base that looks right and performs for years.
Our process starts with a site visit to confirm levels, loading needs and drainage routes, then we provide a clear specification for thickness, reinforcement and finish. We excavate, install a compacted sub-base, add steel mesh where required, and pour to a true level with tidy edges. Drainage falls are formed to reduce standing water around summerhouses and garages. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, protect surrounding surfaces, and stand behind our workmanship.
Working in the City of Westminster often means controlled parking, timed deliveries and narrow side access. In Bayswater, we frequently deal with courtyard gardens, basement lightwells and existing stone paving that must be protected. We plan spoil removal, concrete delivery method and barrowing routes to minimise disruption. If your property is near Whiteleys or Hyde Park, we’ll schedule works to avoid peak congestion and keep the site tidy.

Costs vary by size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement is needed. As a guide, small shed bases often start around £450–£900, while larger summerhouse or greenhouse bases commonly fall between £1,000–£2,500. Heavy-duty hot tub or garage bases with extra depth, mesh and stricter levels are typically £2,000–£5,000+. Difficult W2 access, spoil removal and pump hire can affect the final figure.
Most shed and greenhouse bases take 1 day to excavate and pour, with curing time before installation. Larger summerhouse or hot tub bases usually take 1–2 days depending on excavation depth, sub-base compaction and edge shuttering. Garage bases can take 2–4 days including preparation and reinforcement. Timescales are influenced by access in the concrete bases Bayswater area, weather, and whether we need to form drainage falls.
In many cases, a garden concrete base for a shed, summerhouse or greenhouse is permitted development, especially when it’s not raising ground levels significantly. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, flats with shared gardens, or where drainage and runoff could affect neighbours. For concrete bases in City of Westminster, we’ll flag likely constraints and advise if you should check with the council or your freeholder before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our concrete base installations. This covers issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect reinforcement and finishing. It also covers defects related to our drainage falls and levels where specified. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party alterations, extreme ground movement outside our control, or misuse (for example, loading beyond the designed capacity).
We tailor the build to the structure: standard slabs for sheds, thicker reinforced slabs for hot tubs, and precision-level bases for summerhouses and garages. Options include tamped or smooth power-floated finishes, thickened edges, recessed channels for drainage, and steel mesh reinforcement. We can also set bases to suit paving thresholds or existing patio levels. We’ll recommend the best specification after measuring your site and checking access and runoff.
