That sloping Warlingham garden doesn't have to limit where you place your new shed. Creating level, durable bases on Surrey's chalky slopes is what transforms awkward spaces into practical storage solutions.
Response within 24 hours
Anyone who's tried assembling a shed on uneven ground knows the frustration. Here in CR6, where many properties feature those characteristic hillside gardens stretching from Whyteleafe to Chelsham, a properly constructed base makes all the difference. Local conditions demand more than just throwing down some paving slabs – the clay-chalk mix common to this part of Surrey needs specific preparation techniques.
Concrete bases remain popular for heavier workshops and larger storage buildings, particularly in exposed positions facing the North Downs. However, eco-friendly grid systems have gained traction among environmentally conscious Warlingham residents. These permeable bases handle our notorious Surrey downpours brilliantly whilst supporting substantial loads. Installation involves excavating to the correct depth, establishing proper drainage channels, then either pouring reinforced concrete or interlocking the modular grid panels.
Having installed hundreds of bases across Caterham and surrounding villages, the team understands exactly how local soil behaves through seasonal changes. Every project receives the same meticulous attention, whether it's a compact 6x4 base or a substantial workshop foundation.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most residential shed bases in the CR6 area fall between £350-£800, depending on dimensions and ground conditions. Steep slopes or poor drainage can add 20-30% to standard pricing.
Absolutely – from the village centre right through to the Chelsham borders. Regular work takes us across all CR6 postcodes, including those tricky hillside properties near Hamsey Green.
Standard installations take 1-2 days including ground preparation. Concrete bases need 48 hours additional curing time before shed assembly.
Each base carries a decade-long structural guarantee covering settlement, cracking, or drainage failures. This comprehensive coverage reflects confidence in both materials and installation methods.
Certainly – from hexagonal summerhouses to L-shaped workshop combinations. Custom formwork allows us to match any shed footprint precisely, ensuring perfect fit and maximum stability.
