Garden sheds wobbling on uneven ground? Those sloped Sidcup gardens need proper foundations. Let's build something solid that'll outlast the shed itself.

Sidcup's clay soil shifts more than most realise, especially near the Cray Valley. Installing a shed without proper groundwork means watching it sink, tilt and rot within months. Whether you're tucking a workshop behind a Victorian terrace or positioning storage at the bottom of those long suburban plots, the foundation determines everything.
Concrete bases remain popular for heavy workshops, whilst eco-base grids suit lighter structures perfectly. Timber frame bases offer excellent drainage on Sidcup's heavier soils. Each method requires precise levelling - even a 10mm variance causes door alignment issues later. Ground preparation typically involves 150mm excavation, membrane installation, then your chosen base material compacted to specification.
Eight years handling Sidcup's tricky slopes taught us which corners cut cause callbacks. That's why neighbours from Queen Mary's Hospital down to Halfway Street recommend our groundwork.

Standard 8x6 bases start around £450-550, whilst larger 12x10 workshop foundations typically run £750-900. Sloped gardens or poor access might add 15-20% to these figures.
Absolutely - from the Oval near Chislehurst border through to Foots Cray, covering all DA14 and DA15 postcodes. Regular jobs in Longlands, Blackfen and around Sidcup Place too.
Weather permitting, most bases take 1-2 days from start to shed-ready. Booking slots usually available within 7-10 days, though spring gets busy.
Every base carries decade-long structural coverage against settlement or cracking. Full documentation provided for your records, covering materials and workmanship throughout that ten-year period.
Certainly - reinforced concrete with steel mesh handles substantial loads. We'll calculate requirements based on your building's weight and dimensions, ensuring appropriate depth and reinforcement.
