Response within 24 hours
From garden studios to hot tubs, a well-built base is what keeps everything stable, level and dry. We install concrete bases for homeowners across W11 and W14, working near Holland Park and the Design Museum. Each slab is set out carefully to match your structure’s footprint and access route. The result is a clean finish that’s ready for installation without last-minute adjustments.
Holland Park is known for large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and elegant period properties, often with landscaped rear gardens and side returns. These homes typically need bases that respect existing paving, mature planting and boundary walls. We regularly build shed bases, summerhouse bases, greenhouse bases and garage bases where space is tight and levels vary. Our team plans the pour and curing schedule to minimise disruption to busy households.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage falls and the right thickness for your load. Bases can be reinforced where required, with tidy edges and a true level finish for doors, frames and panels to align properly. We protect surrounding surfaces, keep the site organised, and provide clear aftercare guidance while the concrete cures. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent scope, and a 10-year warranty.
Many gardens in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea have restricted access, basement lightwells, and shared boundaries that demand careful material handling. We plan deliveries, barrowing routes and waste removal to suit narrow side passages common around Kensington and Notting Hill. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess sub-base depth and compaction to prevent settlement. Where parking controls apply, we help coordinate practical timings and access.

Costs vary with size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement is needed. As a guide, smaller shed or greenhouse bases often start around £450–£900. Medium bases for summerhouses or garden rooms are commonly £900–£2,500. Heavy-duty hot tub or garage bases, especially with steel mesh and extra excavation, are typically £2,000–£5,500+. We’ll survey and provide a detailed, itemised range.
Most small bases can be excavated, formed and poured within 1 day, with a return visit if finishing or edging is required. Larger or reinforced bases usually take 2–3 days including sub-base build-up and shuttering. Curing time matters: light foot traffic is often possible after 24–48 hours, but installing a heavy structure is best after 7–14 days depending on weather and thickness.
A concrete base in a rear garden is usually permitted development when it supports a typical outbuilding and doesn’t change ground levels significantly. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where drainage affects neighbouring land. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can help you check guidance for your property in W11 or W14. If permissions are needed, we’ll advise on the simplest route.
Yes. Our concrete base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as poor compaction, avoidable settlement, or incorrect levels that affect the intended use. The warranty assumes the base is used for the agreed purpose and not overloaded beyond specification. We also provide practical aftercare advice on curing, sealing options and when to place the structure to reduce cracking risk.
We can build standard slabs, reinforced slabs with steel mesh, and thicker pads for hot tubs or garages. Finish options include a smooth trowel finish for garden rooms, a brushed finish for extra grip, and formed edges ready for paving or timber cladding. We also design drainage falls and can add perimeter gravel channels where needed. We’ll recommend the best specification based on your structure, access and ground conditions.
