If you’re upgrading a garden near Camberwell Green or commuting via Denmark Hill station, a properly built base makes all the difference. Fine Landscaping installs concrete slabs for shed bases, summerhouse bases, greenhouse bases, hot tub bases and garage bases across SE5. We focus on load-bearing strength, accurate levels and clean edges so your structure fits perfectly. Drainage is planned from the start to reduce standing water and movement.
Camberwell’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments often comes with varied garden access and older boundary walls. We regularly work in the concrete bases Camberwell area, including nearby Peckham, Brixton and Dulwich, where plots can be long, narrow or stepped. Whether you need a compact shed slab or a larger garage base, we tailor the build-up to suit the site. Our finishes are designed to be practical, durable and neat against existing paving and planting.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and confirm what the base will support. Then we excavate, install a compacted sub-base, add reinforcement where required, and pour to a precise level finish with falls for drainage. You’ll get clear communication, respectful working and a thorough clean-down at the end. Homeowners choose us for concrete bases in London Borough of Southwark because we build them right first time and stand behind the workmanship.
Across Camberwell and SE5, gardens can sit over mixed made-ground and clay, so we prioritise proper excavation and compaction. Access is often through side returns or tight passages, especially around Victorian terraces near Denmark Hill and Peckham, so we plan materials and deliveries carefully. We also factor in parking and local restrictions to keep disruption down. The result is a base that suits the property style and performs in Southwark conditions.

Costs depend on size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement is needed. As a guide in Camberwell (SE5), small shed bases often start around £450–£900, while larger summerhouse or greenhouse bases are commonly £900–£1,800. Hot tub bases and garage bases can range from £1,200–£3,500+ due to thicker slabs, mesh/rebar and extra groundwork. We’ll confirm a tailored estimate after measuring and checking levels.
Most straightforward shed or greenhouse bases take 1 day on site, with curing time before heavy loading. Larger summerhouse or hot tub bases typically take 1–2 days depending on excavation depth and spoil removal. Garage bases can take 2–4 days, especially if levels need building up or drainage is added. Access, weather, and whether we’re working around existing patios, services or planting can all affect the schedule.
In many cases, a concrete base for a garden structure is permitted development, particularly when it’s within the rear garden and the building meets height and location rules. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if the base forms part of a new outbuilding with specific dimensions. Drainage and surface water management may also matter. We’ll flag likely requirements and advise what to check with Southwark Council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our concrete bases, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect finishing levels. It also covers defects linked to our installation of reinforcement and falls for drainage. Normal wear, damage from third-party alterations, or problems caused by undisclosed underground services aren’t included. We’ll explain the warranty in writing and how to keep the base performing well.
We can install standard brushed concrete, a smoother power-floated finish where suitable, or a slightly textured finish for safer footing. Thickness and reinforcement (mesh or rebar) are chosen based on what the base will support, from sheds to hot tubs and garages. We can also include edging details, step-downs, and drainage falls or channels. We’ll recommend the best option after assessing access, ground conditions and your structure’s requirements.
