If you’re adding a shed, greenhouse or hot tub near Paddington station or Little Venice, the base needs to be flat, strong and well-drained. We install concrete bases designed to prevent rocking, cracking and water pooling. From compact courtyard gardens to larger communal grounds, we tailor the slab size and thickness to your structure. Expect clean edges, accurate levels and a finish ready for immediate installation.
The Paddington mix of stucco townhouses, mansion flats and modern apartments often brings shared access routes, basement vaults and strict building management rules. In Bayswater and Marylebone, we frequently work in narrow side returns and small rear patios where barrowing and spoil removal must be planned carefully. Our team is used to protecting paving, steps and communal hallways during deliveries. We also design bases that suit lightweight garden rooms as well as heavier loads like hot tubs.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, load requirements and drainage routes, then set out with tight tolerances before excavation. Sub-base, reinforcement and concrete specification are chosen to suit the job, not a one-size approach. We keep you informed on curing times and handover, with tidy working practices throughout. Fine Landscaping is based in South London, and we’re typically around 45 minutes from Paddington for reliable scheduling.
Across the concrete bases Paddington area, access and parking can be the biggest challenge, especially around W2 and busy routes near St Mary’s Hospital. We plan deliveries, protect shared walkways, and work within set hours where buildings have management rules. Ground conditions can vary from made ground to compacted subsoil, so we assess and build up the sub-base accordingly. For concrete bases in City of Westminster, we also keep an eye on drainage requirements and neighbour considerations.

Costs depend on size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement is needed. As a guide, small shed bases often start around £450–£900, while larger summerhouse or greenhouse bases are commonly £900–£1,800. Hot tub bases and garage bases can range from £1,500–£4,000+ due to thicker slabs, steel mesh, and more excavation. Restricted access near W2 can increase labour and waste removal.
Most shed or greenhouse bases are completed in 1 day, with curing time before loading. Larger or reinforced slabs for summerhouses, hot tubs or garages typically take 2–3 days including excavation, sub-base and pour. Tight access in Maida Vale or Bayswater can add time for hand-digging and barrow work. Weather, existing paving removal, and drainage adjustments also affect the schedule.
In many cases, a concrete base for a shed, summerhouse or greenhouse is permitted development, especially when it sits within your garden and doesn’t raise levels significantly. However, City of Westminster rules can be stricter for listed buildings, conservation areas, or flats with shared land and lease conditions. We’ll advise what’s likely required and can help you check with the council or your building management before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our concrete bases, covering issues such as poor levelling, inadequate preparation, or structural failure caused by installation defects. The warranty assumes normal use and that the base isn’t overloaded beyond the agreed design (for example, heavier hot tubs than specified). We also document the build-up—sub-base, reinforcement and finish—so you know exactly what’s been installed.
We can build standard shed bases, larger summerhouse slabs, hot tub pads, greenhouse bases with perimeter upstands, and garage bases designed for heavier loads. Options include reinforced mesh, thicker concrete, tamped or smooth finishes, and formed falls for drainage. We can also add edging details to suit paving lines and thresholds. We’ll help you choose the right specification based on structure weight, ground conditions and access constraints.
