Every pour is planned to protect surrounding paving, lawns and borders.
Hither Green is a popular family area with excellent schools and plenty of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis. These homes often have side returns, narrow access routes and established gardens that need careful handling. We’re used to working in SE13 streets where space is tight and neighbours are close. That experience helps us keep deliveries, spoil removal and site set-up efficient and considerate.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, load requirements and drainage routes, then prepare a solid sub-base with proper compaction. Steel reinforcement is added where needed, followed by a clean, level finish ready for immediate installation once cured. You’ll get straightforward scheduling, tidy workmanship and clear aftercare advice. Local homeowners choose us because we deliver consistent results and stand behind our work.

Costs depend on size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement is required. As a guide in SE13, small shed bases often start around £450–£900, while larger summerhouse or greenhouse bases are typically £900–£1,800. Heavy-duty hot tub bases commonly range from £1,200–£2,500 due to thicker slabs and steel mesh. Garage bases can be £2,500–£6,000+ depending on specification and groundwork.
Most shed or greenhouse bases are completed in 1 day, with larger summerhouse bases often taking 1–2 days including excavation and sub-base. Hot tub and garage bases can take 2–4 days depending on depth, reinforcement and spoil removal. Concrete then needs curing time before heavy loading—typically 48–72 hours for light use, and around 7 days before placing very heavy items. Weather and access can extend timings.
In many cases, a concrete base for a shed, summerhouse or greenhouse is permitted development, provided the structure meets height and location rules. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re building close to boundaries. Drainage and surface-water run-off also matter, especially for larger slabs. We’ll talk through your plans, flag likely issues, and recommend checking Lewisham Council guidance where needed.
Yes. Our concrete base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship issues such as poor compaction, inadequate reinforcement where specified, or defects that lead to significant movement or cracking under normal use. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from misuse, extreme impacts, or changes made by others after completion. We also provide practical aftercare guidance on curing times and loading so your base performs as intended.
We can build standard slabs for sheds and greenhouses, or heavy-duty reinforced bases for hot tubs and garages. Finish options include a smooth float finish, a lightly brushed anti-slip finish, or a tamped texture for better grip. We can form neat edges, add shuttering for crisp lines, and set falls for drainage. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend the right thickness, reinforcement and finish based on your structure and garden use.
