Mayfair gardens and rear courtyards demand groundwork that’s accurate, discreet and built to last. Whether you’re near Berkeley Square or along Mount Street, a properly formed base prevents movement, pooling water and premature cracking. We install concrete bases for sheds, summerhouses, hot tubs, greenhouses and garages, tailored to your layout. Expect clean edges, correct falls and a finish ready for immediate installation.
Properties across W1 range from Georgian mansions and palatial townhouses to luxury apartments with landscaped terraces. These settings often involve tight access, high-value finishes and neighbours close by, so preparation and protection matter. We’re used to working around stone paving, mature planting and basement lightwells. If your project borders Marylebone, St James’s or Hyde Park, we’ll match the build standard expected in this part of the City of Westminster.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, load requirements and drainage routes, then agree a clear scope before any digging begins. Sub-base depth, reinforcement and curing times are set to suit the structure—especially for heavier loads like hot tubs and garages. Our team keeps the site orderly, manages waste removal, and communicates timings so you can plan deliveries and installers. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, straightforward advice and a 10-year warranty.
Concrete bases mayfair area projects often involve restricted access, timed deliveries and limited on-street parking, particularly around Claridge's Hotel and busy W1 streets. We plan barrowing routes, protect internal hallways where required, and keep noise and dust controlled. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and compacted sub-layers, so we excavate to the right depth and build a stable sub-base. We also factor in drainage and falls to suit paved courtyards common in the City of Westminster.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs depend on size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement and drainage are needed. As a guide, small shed or greenhouse bases often start around £450–£900. Medium summerhouse bases commonly fall between £900–£1,800. Reinforced hot tub or garage bases can range from £1,800–£4,500+. Tight W1 access, waste removal and pump/skip restrictions can affect the final figure.
Most bases take 1–2 days on site: day one for excavation, sub-base and formwork; day two for pouring and finishing (sometimes same day for smaller pads). Larger or reinforced slabs may take 2–3 days, especially if drainage channels or steps are involved. Curing time matters too—light foot traffic is usually fine after 24–48 hours, but heavy loads should wait 7–28 days depending on the mix and weather.
In many cases, a concrete base for a shed, greenhouse or summerhouse is permitted development, provided the overall structure meets height and location rules. However, City of Westminster constraints can apply, particularly for listed buildings, conservation areas, basement developments or works affecting drainage. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you check guidance before work starts. If permission is needed, we can build to the approved specification.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete base workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect levels and falls. The warranty is valid when the base is used for the agreed purpose (for example, a hot tub base built to the specified load). Natural hairline curing cracks can occur in concrete; we minimise risk with correct reinforcement, joints and curing advice.
We can build a standard floated slab, a reinforced slab with steel mesh, or a thicker pad designed for heavy loads like hot tubs and garages. Edges can be shuttered for a neat perimeter, or formed to suit frames and anchor bolts. We also offer drainage falls, channel drains and soakaway connections where appropriate. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend the right thickness, finish and reinforcement based on the structure and your Mayfair access constraints.
