A solid base is the difference between a structure that lasts and one that shifts, cracks or pools water. We install concrete bases across SW19, working regularly near Wimbledon Common and around Wimbledon Village High Street. Whether you’re planning a shed, greenhouse or hot tub, we set out accurately and build to the right thickness for the load. The result is a clean, square footprint ready for immediate installation.
Wimbledon Village features large detached homes, Georgian properties and luxury apartments, often with landscaped gardens and high expectations for finish. Access can be tight down side returns, and many plots include mature planting that needs protecting. Our team is used to working around premium patios, lawns and irrigation, keeping disruption low while maintaining tidy edges. If you’re upgrading a garden room or adding a garage base, we’ll match the build to the property’s standard.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage falls and the intended use, then specify sub-base depth, reinforcement and concrete strength. Ground preparation is never rushed: we compact properly, install formwork, and pour for a consistent level finish. We keep you informed on curing times and safe loading dates, and we leave the site clean. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, clear communication and workmanship backed by warranty.
We’re familiar with the concrete bases Wimbledon Village area often needs: careful access planning, considerate working hours and tidy waste removal. In the London Borough of Merton, parking and deliveries can be restricted near schools and busier roads, so we schedule pours to avoid delays. Soil conditions vary from compacted made ground to lighter garden soils, so we adjust sub-base build-up and reinforcement accordingly. We also protect mature borders and tree root zones, especially near Cannizaro Park-facing properties.

Costs vary by size, thickness, access and whether reinforcement or drainage is needed. As a guide, smaller shed or greenhouse bases often start from around £450–£900. Medium summerhouse bases commonly fall in the £900–£1,800 range. Heavier-duty hot tub or garage bases with steel reinforcement and extra sub-base preparation are typically £1,800–£4,500+. We’ll confirm requirements on site and provide a clear written quote.
Most shed, greenhouse and small summerhouse bases are completed in 1 day, including excavation, sub-base and the pour. Larger bases or those needing deeper dig-outs, extra drainage or difficult access may take 2–3 days. Concrete then needs curing time before heavy loading: light foot traffic is usually fine after 24–48 hours, while hot tubs and structures are best installed after 7–14 days depending on conditions.
In many cases, a concrete base for a shed, summerhouse or greenhouse is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if the structure is large, close to boundaries, in a front garden, or if the property has restrictions (such as a listed building or conservation considerations). We’ll ask the right questions, flag any potential issues, and can help you check Merton’s guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our concrete base installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues linked to incorrect preparation, poor compaction, inadequate reinforcement where specified, or faulty levels and falls. It doesn’t cover damage caused by third-party alterations, impact, or overloading beyond the agreed design use. We also provide aftercare guidance on curing and loading times to help ensure the base performs as intended for years.
We tailor the build to the intended structure and ground conditions. Options include standard slabs for sheds, thicker reinforced slabs for hot tubs and garages, and bases with integrated drainage falls or channels where runoff is a concern. We can form a smooth float finish or a lightly brushed, slip-resistant surface. If you need a base to match existing paving levels, we’ll set accurate heights and can advise on edging details and access routes.
