Those larger Epsom gardens deserve proper shed foundations that won't sink or shift. Whether you're placing a workshop near those mature oaks or tucking a summer house behind the rhododendrons, the right base makes all the difference.

Surrey clay can be unforgiving when it comes to garden structures. Throughout KT17, KT18 and KT19, we've learned exactly how deep to dig and which materials work best for each plot. Victorian properties near the town centre often hide rubble beneath their lawns, while newer estates towards Ashtead tend to have more predictable ground conditions. Every installation starts with understanding what lies beneath.
Concrete remains king for heavy workshops, particularly on those sloping gardens common around Epsom Downs. Eco-bases suit lighter structures perfectly - they drain naturally and won't crack during our occasional hot summers. Ground preparation typically involves excavating 150mm below surface level, laying MOT Type 1 aggregate, then either pouring concrete or assembling the recycled plastic grid system. Proper membrane placement prevents future weed growth without blocking drainage.
Local knowledge counts when water tables fluctuate between Ewell's lower ground and the chalk downs. Years of working these postcodes means recognising drainage patterns and adjusting depths accordingly.

Standard 8x6ft bases typically range £400-600, while larger 12x8ft installations run £700-950. Sloping sites or poor access can add 20-30% to these figures.
Absolutely - from Ewell Village through central Epsom to Ashtead Common. All KT17, KT18 and KT19 addresses fall within our regular working area.
Most installations happen within 7-10 days of booking. Concrete bases need 48 hours curing time before shed placement, while eco-bases are ready immediately.
Each base carries decade-long protection against structural failure. This covers settlement issues, cracking, and material defects - documented with photos and specifications.
Narrow Victorian passages are common here. We use wheelbarrows and mini-mixers that fit through 800mm gaps, though hand-mixing sometimes proves necessary for truly tight spaces.
