A well-built base is the difference between a structure that lasts and one that shifts, cracks or pools water. We install concrete bases across E14, including near One Canada Square and Crossrail Place, tailored for sheds, summerhouses, hot tubs, greenhouses and garages. Every slab is set out accurately, poured to the right thickness and finished level. Where needed, we add falls and drainage so rainwater doesn’t sit against your build.
Canary Wharf homes are often modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses with terraces, podium gardens and communal access routes. That means bases frequently need careful planning for deliveries, noise limits and restricted working hours. We’re used to working in the concrete bases Canary Wharf area, including the Isle of Dogs and Poplar, and coordinating with building management when required. If your outdoor space is compact, we can design a base that maximises usable area without compromising strength.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, access and the load your base must carry. Groundworks are excavated properly, sub-base is compacted, and reinforcement is installed where appropriate for hot tubs and garage bases. You’ll get clear communication, tidy working practices and a finish ready for installation on the agreed date. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, consistent quality and a base that performs year after year.
In the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, many properties have podium decks, basement car parks and controlled loading bays, so access and timing matter as much as the pour. We plan barrow routes, protect communal areas and arrange deliveries to suit site rules. Ground conditions can vary near waterfront developments, so we assess sub-base depth and compaction carefully. When parking is limited around Canary Wharf and Limehouse, we schedule efficiently to minimise disruption.

Costs depend on size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement or drainage is needed. As a guide, small shed bases often start around £450–£900, while larger summerhouse or greenhouse bases commonly fall between £900–£1,800. Hot tub or garage bases with steel reinforcement and deeper sub-base preparation are typically £1,500–£3,500+. Restricted access in E14 can affect labour and delivery charges.
Most shed or greenhouse bases can be completed in 1 day, with larger summerhouse bases usually taking 1–2 days including excavation and sub-base compaction. Hot tub and garage bases may take 2–3 days if reinforcement, shuttering and drainage are required. Curing time matters too: light foot traffic is often fine after 24–48 hours, but heavier loads should wait longer depending on mix and weather.
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, flats, listed buildings, conservation areas, and developments with restrictive leases or management company rules can change what’s allowed. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you check Tower Hamlets guidance and any building management conditions before work begins.
Yes. Our concrete base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect finishing levels. It also covers defects linked to reinforcement placement where specified. Normal wear, impact damage, or movement caused by external factors (for example, leaking pipework or unauthorised alterations) isn’t covered. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before starting.
We can tailor the base to your structure and site. Popular options include brushed or float finishes, neat trowelled edges, and recessed edges for timber frames. For heavier loads, we specify thicker slabs with steel mesh reinforcement, and we can build in drainage falls or channels where water runoff is a concern. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend the right thickness, finish and layout based on the item, access and ground conditions.
