Need a solid foundation for a shed, greenhouse or hot tub in W12? Fine Landscaping designs and installs purpose-built concrete bases that stay flat, drain correctly and support heavy loads. We regularly work around Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Green, where access and timing can be tight. Your base is set out accurately so your structure fits first time, with clean edges and a tidy finish.
Shepherd's Bush has a mix of Victorian terraces, mansion conversions and modern apartments, each with different garden layouts and access routes. Narrow side returns and stepped patios are common, so we plan deliveries and barrow runs carefully. For homeowners in White City, Hammersmith and Holland Park, we tailor the slab thickness and reinforcement to the intended use. That means a greenhouse base won’t be overbuilt, while a hot tub or garage base gets the strength it needs.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, ground make-up and where water will go after heavy rain. Then we excavate, install a compacted sub-base, add formwork and reinforcement where required, and pour to a precise level finish. We keep you informed on curing times so you know when it’s safe to install your structure. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and a clear 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, gardens often sit on made ground with variable compaction, so we prioritise proper excavation and sub-base depth. Parking controls near Shepherd's Bush Empire and busy routes by Westfield London can affect deliveries, so we plan logistics to minimise disruption. Many properties have limited access through narrow passages, which influences concrete placement methods. We also set falls carefully to manage runoff without causing issues for neighbouring boundaries.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide in Shepherd's Bush, small shed bases often start around £450–£900, while summerhouse or greenhouse bases commonly range £900–£1,800. Hot tub bases with thicker slabs and reinforcement are typically £1,200–£2,500. Larger garage bases can be £2,500–£6,000+. Restricted access in W12 may increase labour and materials handling.
Most shed or greenhouse bases take 1 day on site, with larger summerhouse or hot tub bases usually 1–2 days depending on excavation and access. Garage bases can take 2–4 days including groundworks and formwork. Concrete needs time to cure: light foot traffic is often fine after 24–48 hours, but we typically recommend waiting 7+ days before loading heavily or installing a hot tub.
In many cases, a concrete base for a garden structure is permitted development and won’t need planning permission, provided the overall outbuilding meets height and location rules. However, rules can be stricter for flats, listed buildings, conservation areas, or where drainage changes affect runoff. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham before work starts.
Our concrete base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor compaction, or incorrect levels and falls. It also covers defects in edging/formwork finish where it affects performance. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, extreme ground movement outside our control, or overloading beyond the agreed design use. We document the build-up for peace of mind.
We can build standard shed and summerhouse slabs, reinforced hot tub pads, and thicker garage bases with steel mesh. Options include a smooth power-float finish, brushed anti-slip finish, or a slightly textured finish for outbuildings. We can also add perimeter thickening, drainage falls, and ducting for electrics where needed. We’ll recommend the right thickness, reinforcement and finish based on your structure and access constraints.
