A high-quality building is only as strong as the ground it stands on.

Whether you are planning a sturdy shed, a bespoke garden room, or a heavy-duty garage foundation, our team provides the full end-to-end service required to ensure your structure remains level, stable, and protected from the elements for years to come. Serving Totton, Southampton, and the surrounding 30-mile radius, we combine technical expertise with local knowledge to overcome the specific challenges posed by Hampshire soil conditions.
How Our Concrete Base Construction Process Works
We begin every project with a detailed site assessment to evaluate ground levels and soil type, which is critical for preventing future subsidence. Our team then carries out precise excavation to the required depth, removing organic material to prepare a clean surface. We install a robust sub-base using compacted MOT Type 1 aggregate, which provides the essential load-bearing capacity for your project.
Following the sub-base, we set up formwork and shuttering to ensure perfectly straight, clean edges. We incorporate steel reinforcement mesh where necessary to provide structural integrity. Once the site is prepared, we pour quality-assured concrete, tailored to the specific load requirements—typically using a C20 mix for standard garden structures or a C25/C30 mix for heavy-duty garage applications. Finally, we provide a power-floated or brush finish depending on whether the surface will be left exposed or finished with flooring.

For larger outbuildings or attached garage conversions, we ensure all work meets the relevant building control regulations. We are well-versed in drainage requirements and SuDS compliance, ensuring that your new base does not lead to surface water runoff issues that could affect your neighbours or the local Totton sewage network. We take the complexity out of the process, ensuring your project meets all necessary criteria from the outset.

Answers to common questions about our Concrete Bases in Totton
How thick should a concrete shed base be?
For a standard garden shed, a thickness of 100mm (4 inches) is usually enough, provided it sits on a well-compacted sub-base. For larger structures like garages or workshops that will hold heavy machinery or vehicles, we usually recommend 150mm or more, often with steel reinforcement.
How long does it take for a concrete base to dry?
While you can often walk on the concrete within 24 to 48 hours, it takes longer to reach its full strength. We usually suggest waiting at least 7 days before putting a heavy building on top of it. Full "curing" actually takes about 28 days, but the base is usually ready for use well before then.
Can you lay a concrete base over an old patio?
It is usually better to remove the old patio first. Patios are often laid on sand or thin mortar, which might not be strong enough to support a heavy concrete slab and a building. We prefer to dig down to a solid sub-grade to make sure the new base doesn't sink or crack.
Do I need a soakaway for my concrete base?
Large concrete areas can create a lot of water run-off. Depending on the size of the base and the local ground conditions in Totton, we might need to install a soakaway or connect to an existing drainage system to prevent puddling or flooding in your garden.
