Honor Oak’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often means narrow side access, stepped gardens and retaining walls. In the concrete bases Honor oak area, we regularly work with hilly plots where levels need careful setting-out to avoid rocking sheds or uneven summerhouse floors. We plan barrow routes, protect paving and keep disruption low for neighbours. You get a base that suits the property and the way the garden is actually used.
We start with a site visit to measure, check ground conditions and confirm what the base needs to support. Then we excavate, install a compacted sub-base, add reinforcement where required, and pour concrete to a true level finish with tidy edges. Drainage is designed in from the outset, not added as an afterthought. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship that holds up season after season.
Working on concrete bases in London Borough of Lewisham often involves sloping ground, clay-heavy soil and tight access from terraced streets.

We also account for neighbouring boundaries and existing drains, so water runs where it should. Our approach is practical, compliant and suited to SE23 gardens.

Costs vary mainly by size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement is needed. As a guide, small shed bases often start from around £450–£900, while larger summerhouse or greenhouse bases are commonly £900–£1,800. Hot tub and garage bases usually fall in the £1,500–£3,500+ range due to thicker pours, steel mesh and extra groundwork. We’ll confirm a tailored estimate after a site visit.
Most shed or greenhouse bases can be completed in 1 day, with larger summerhouse bases typically taking 1–2 days including excavation and sub-base preparation. Hot tub and garage bases may take 2–3 days depending on depth, reinforcement and access. Weather, spoil removal, and whether we need to adjust levels on a sloped plot can extend timings. Concrete usually needs a curing period before heavy loading.
In many cases, a concrete base for a shed, summerhouse or greenhouse is permitted development, provided the structure meets height and location rules and you’re not covering front garden space in a way that affects drainage. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, flats, or conservation areas, and boundary proximity can matter. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and advise if you should check with Lewisham Council.
Yes. Our concrete base installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect finishing.

We can tailor the base to the structure and the garden. Options include reinforced concrete with steel mesh for hot tubs, thicker slabs for garages, and smooth or lightly brushed finishes for safer footing. We can also form shuttered edges, add a slight fall for drainage, and set exact dimensions for pre-fab sheds or summerhouses. We’ll recommend the best build-up after checking access and ground conditions.
