If you’re planning a shed, summerhouse, greenhouse or hot tub near Lee Green crossroads, the base matters as much as the structure. We build concrete slabs that stay level, carry weight properly and shed water away from your investment. Homeowners around SE12 choose us for clean edges, accurate falls and a finish that’s ready for installation. We’re also regularly working near Lee station and the surrounding streets.
Lee Green has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and solid 1930s houses, often with long rear gardens and side access that can be tight. That variety affects how we bring materials in, where we place spoil, and how we protect existing paving and planting. Whether you’re close to Manor House Gardens or nearer Hither Green, we tailor the base size, thickness and reinforcement to the load and ground conditions. The result is a slab that suits the property and the project, not a one-size-fits-all pour.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, access and the exact footprint, then set out with string lines and laser levels. Sub-base preparation is done properly, with compacted hardcore, reinforcement where required, and drainage details to prevent pooling. We pour, tamp and finish for a smooth, level surface (or a controlled fall where needed), then advise on curing times before installation. Fine Landscaping is based around 30 minutes away, so you get reliable scheduling and responsive aftercare.
Ground conditions across the London Borough of Lewisham can vary, so we assess firmness, moisture and existing made-up ground before we dig. In Lee Green, access is often via shared alleys or narrow side passages, so we plan deliveries and mixing accordingly. We also consider on-street parking and local restrictions near Leegate Shopping Centre when scheduling. Our approach keeps disruption down while ensuring the slab is structurally sound and properly drained.

Pricing depends on size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement is needed. As a guide, small shed bases often start around £350–£750, while larger summerhouse or greenhouse bases are commonly £900–£1,800. Hot tub and garage bases can range from £1,500–£4,000+ due to thicker pours, steel mesh and extra groundwork. We’ll confirm a clear written estimate after a site visit in the concrete bases Lee Green area.
Most shed or greenhouse bases take 1 day on site, with larger summerhouse bases typically 1–2 days depending on excavation and sub-base work. Garage bases can take 2–4 days if there’s deeper dig-out, shuttering and reinforcement. Concrete needs curing time before heavy loading, usually 48–72 hours for light use and longer for full strength. Weather, access and spoil removal are the main factors affecting timescales.
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, restrictions can apply in conservation areas, for listed buildings, or where drainage changes could affect neighbouring properties. We’ll talk you through what’s likely to apply and can help you check Lewisham guidance before work starts. For front gardens and water run-off, permeable solutions may be required.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our concrete bases, covering issues such as significant cracking caused by poor preparation, inadequate reinforcement, or incorrect levels. It also covers drainage falls where specified in the scope of works. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from external causes (for example, tree root movement, flooding, or third-party installation errors). We’ll explain curing, loading times and aftercare to protect your base.
We can build standard brushed-finish slabs, power-floated finishes for a smoother surface, or bases with a slight fall for drainage. Options include steel mesh reinforcement, thicker edges for heavier structures, and integrated ducting for electrics to sheds or summerhouses. For hot tubs, we’ll advise on load-bearing requirements and exact dimensions. We’ll help you choose the right specification based on your structure, access and budget, including concrete bases in London Borough of Lewisham.
