A well-built base is what keeps your shed, summerhouse or hot tub stable for years. We install concrete bases across SE4, including homes near Hilly Fields and the weekend buzz of Brockley Market. Every slab is set out precisely, poured to the right depth, and finished level for trouble-free installation. If you’re planning a greenhouse or garage base, we’ll tailor the build to the load and layout.
Brockley’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with long, narrow gardens and shared side access. That means materials handling, barrowing routes and neighbour considerations need planning from day one. We regularly work across the concrete bases Brockley area, including Honor Oak, Crofton Park and New Cross, adapting our approach to each plot. You get a base that suits the structure and the property, not a one-size-fits-all pour.
We start with a site visit to check levels, ground conditions and drainage routes, then provide a clear specification. Bases can be reinforced, formed with shuttering for crisp edges, and finished ready for immediate installation once cured. We keep the site tidy, protect lawns and paving where possible, and communicate timings clearly. Homeowners choose us for concrete bases in London Borough of Lewisham because we’re consistent, careful, and built to last.
Many Brockley plots have variable ground and mature tree roots, so we assess sub-base depth and compaction carefully. Access can be tight around terraced houses, so we plan deliveries, barrow routes and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider surface water management and practical falls, especially where gardens run towards the house. If permissions or constraints apply, we’ll flag them early and work within local expectations.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Brockley typically depend on size, depth, reinforcement and access. As a guide, small shed bases often start around £350–£700, while larger summerhouse or greenhouse bases are commonly £800–£1,600. Hot tub bases and garage bases, especially reinforced or thicker slabs, are usually £1,200–£3,000+. Tight access, spoil removal, and drainage details can increase the budget.
Most bases are installed in 1 day for small to medium sizes, with larger or reinforced slabs taking 2 days including excavation and sub-base work. Concrete then needs curing time before heavy loads: typically 48–72 hours for light use and around 7 days before installing heavier structures, depending on weather. Access, ground conditions, and drainage requirements can extend the schedule.
In many cases, a concrete base for a shed, summerhouse or greenhouse is permitted development, provided the overall structure meets height and location rules. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, flats, conservation considerations, or if you’re adding a large outbuilding or garage. We’ll talk through your plans, check practical constraints, and advise when it’s sensible to confirm with Lewisham Council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our concrete bases, covering issues such as poor compaction, inadequate thickness to spec, or defects linked to installation. It’s designed to give homeowners confidence that the slab will remain stable and fit for purpose. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from misuse, later groundworks by others, or extreme events, but we’ll always inspect and advise fairly if concerns arise.
We can build standard slabs, reinforced concrete bases with steel mesh, or thicker pads for hot tubs and heavier garden rooms. Edge options include flush finishes, raised kerb edges, or shuttered edges for a crisp perimeter. We also set falls for drainage and can include ducting routes where power or water will run to a summerhouse. We’ll recommend the best specification based on your structure, soil and access.
