That Victorian terrace in central Sutton deserves foundations as solid as its history. Whether you're planning a workshop behind your Cheam bungalow or need a base for your new summerhouse, proper concrete groundwork makes all the difference.

Sutton's clay-heavy soil shifts more than most homeowners realise. Those tight garden spaces between terraced properties need precision work, especially when you're squeezing a shed base between established borders. Local knowledge counts when dealing with everything from tree root complications near Sutton Common to the drainage quirks found in older Carshalton properties.
Creating durable bases involves calculating exact depths for frost protection whilst managing water table issues common around Manor Park. Steel reinforcement mesh gets positioned precisely before pouring, ensuring decades of stability even with Sutton's notorious ground movement. Proper curing time remains critical – rushing this stage causes those spider-web cracks you'll spot on poorly installed bases throughout SM2.
Twenty years working across Wallington's varied terrain teaches you which corners to never cut. Every base gets treated like it's supporting our own garden building.

Most residential shed bases (8x6ft) run between £450-650 including excavation and materials. Larger workshop bases or those requiring extra depth due to ground conditions might reach £800-1200.
Absolutely – from the bustling high street of SM1 through to the leafier parts of SM3 near Belmont. Regular projects take us through SM2's residential streets, plus neighbouring Cheam, Carshalton and Wallington.
Standard shed bases usually complete within 2-3 days including excavation and curing time. Larger garage bases might need 4-5 days, weather permitting.
Each base carries a decade-long structural warranty covering any settlement or cracking issues. Documentation includes depth measurements and reinforcement specifications for your records.
Narrow side returns and limited access are common in Sutton's older properties. Hand-mixing on site or using pumped concrete allows installations even through standard doorways. Many bases get built where machinery simply won't fit.
