Expert Concrete Foundation Services
We understand that a log cabin is only as good as its foundation. Improper bases lead to dropped doors, leaks, and costly repairs. That is why we specialise in laying steel-reinforced concrete bases designed specifically for garden buildings. With over 15 years of experience across the South East, our team handles the entire process, from excavation and shuttering to the final smooth finish.
Why Choose A Concrete Base?
A concrete base is the strongest foundation option available. It provides a permanent, heavy-duty platform suitable for large log cabins, home offices, and heavy gym equipment.

We measure the area and clear vegetation to prepare the ground for excavation, ensuring the location is suitable for your new build.
Excavation And Hardcore
We dig to the required depth and install a compacted hardcore sub-base layer to provide a stable footing for the concrete.
Shuttering And Steel
We build timber shuttering to hold the shape and install steel mesh reinforcement for maximum structural strength and crack prevention.
Pouring The Concrete
We pour high-quality concrete, tamping it down to remove air pockets and ensure density throughout the entire foundation slab.
Levelling And Finishing
We float the surface to achieve a 100% level finish, checking angles carefully so your cabin assembly goes smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before booking a concrete bases installation, it’s normal to have a few questions. These are the ones we get most often.
How thick should a base be?
For most standard garden sheds and log cabins, we recommend a concrete depth of 100mm (4 inches). However, for larger garden offices or gyms holding heavy equipment, we may increase this to ensure total stability.
Do I need a damp membrane?
Yes, we always recommend installing a damp proof membrane (DPM) within the concrete base construction. This prevents moisture from rising through the ground, protecting your timber building from rot and damp over time.
How long does concrete take to dry?
Concrete typically needs 48 hours to set enough to walk on, but we advise waiting 7 days before installing a heavy log cabin. This ensures the foundation has reached sufficient strength to support the load.
Do you remove the soil?
We keep our sites clean and tidy. While excavation spoil removal can be arranged as part of your quote, we often utilize it elsewhere in your garden if preferred. We discuss this during the quote process.
Can you install on a slope?
Absolutely. Dealing with uneven ground is a core part of our service. We can excavate or build up the formwork to ensure your final concrete platform is perfectly level, regardless of the garden gradient.
Is steel reinforcement necessary?
For small sheds, it might not be mandatory, but we highly recommend mesh reinforcement for log cabins and offices. It prevents cracking and adds significant tensile strength to the foundation, ensuring longevity.
