If you’re planning a shed, greenhouse or hot tub near Victoria Station, the base needs to be accurate, strong and properly drained. Fine Landscaping installs concrete bases across SW1 with clean edges, correct falls and a level finish that makes fitting straightforward. We build shed bases, summerhouse bases, garage bases and more, sized to your exact footprint. Work is planned to minimise disruption on busy streets around Victoria Street.
Homes in Victoria range from mansion blocks and modern apartments to Georgian townhouses in Pimlico and Belgravia. Each comes with different access routes, load limits and garden layouts, which affects how materials are moved and where spoil can be stored. We’re used to working in compact courtyards, raised terraces and shared access areas. That local experience helps us deliver concrete bases Victoria area homeowners can rely on.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, finished height and drainage direction, then prepare a stable sub-base before pouring. Bases can be reinforced where needed for heavier loads such as hot tubs or garage floors. We keep edges crisp, check levels throughout, and allow appropriate curing time before handover. Clients choose us for clear communication, tidy working practices and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Central Victoria sites often involve restricted access, controlled parking and strict working hours, especially near Westminster Cathedral and major routes. We plan deliveries, barrowing routes and waste removal to suit mansion blocks and townhouse gardens. Ground conditions can vary between made-up ground and older substrates, so we tailor the sub-base depth and reinforcement accordingly. If permits or parking suspensions are needed, we’ll advise early to keep the job moving.

Costs depend on size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement is required. As a guide, small shed bases often start around £450–£900, while larger summerhouse or greenhouse bases commonly fall between £900–£2,000. Hot tub and garage bases with thicker slabs, steel mesh and upgraded sub-bases can range from £1,800–£4,500+. We’ll provide a detailed quote after checking levels, drainage and access in SW1.
Most single bases are completed in 1–2 days, including excavation, sub-base preparation and the pour. Larger or reinforced bases may take 2–4 days, particularly if access is tight or spoil removal is complex. Concrete typically needs time to cure before heavy loading; light foot traffic is usually fine after 24–48 hours, but hot tubs and structures may need 7–14 days depending on weather and specification.
In many cases, a concrete base for a shed, summerhouse or greenhouse is permitted development, provided the structure meets height and location rules. However, the City of Westminster can have additional considerations for listed buildings, conservation areas and front-garden works. Drainage and surface water run-off can also matter, especially if you’re hardstanding a larger area. We’ll flag likely requirements and help you check before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our concrete bases, covering issues caused by installation defects such as inadequate preparation, poor compaction, incorrect levels or edge failure. The warranty assumes normal use and that the base is loaded appropriately for its design (for example, a reinforced hot tub base where required). We also give clear aftercare guidance on curing times and when to install your structure.
We can install standard concrete slabs, reinforced slabs with steel mesh, and thicker specifications for hot tubs and garage bases. Finishes include smooth float, brushed anti-slip, or a slightly textured surface depending on use. We also build in drainage falls and can add gravel margins or edging details where needed. During the survey, we’ll recommend the right thickness, reinforcement and finish to suit your structure and Victoria site access.
