Amateur Radio Mast & Antenna Tower Foundations
Radio mast foundations are governed primarily by wind load, mast geometry, antennas, guys and soil—not simply the tower's self-weight.

What the foundation needs to do
A modest aerial can create significant leverage at the base of a tall mast. Lattice towers, crank-up masts and guyed poles also transfer loads in different ways.
We install the concrete base, sockets, bolt cages or separate guy anchors only from the identified mast manufacturer's drawing or an engineer's approved design.
Options, assessed properly
Suitable foundation methods
The methods below are possibilities to assess—not interchangeable specifications. We match the foundation to the product, loads, support points, ground and access.
Ground screws
Ground screws and support frame
Engineered helical anchors may form part of a designed guy or lightweight mast system, but only with structural and earthing approval.
Often worth considering for: Selected proprietary mast and guy systems
A written price for the approved detail
Specialist foundations are quoted from the actual product, support plan and site information. No VAT is added to the guide prices shown.
Before installation
Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities
Ofcom does not grant planning approval for the physical mast. Check the current local planning position; height and boundary distance can be important.
The radio installer remains responsible for antenna assembly, working at height, RF, lightning protection and commissioning.
JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.

Reviews of our foundation work
"I couldn't recommend Craig highly enough! Communication prior to the job was outstanding even considering our ever changing goal posts. Craig and his team turned up exactly at the agreed time, were well presented, friendly and professional. The cleanliness, attention to detail and quality of the job was outstanding."
"Good standard of workmanship. Friendly and efficient. Prompt response for estimate and fitted into our timescale. Will be using the firm in future and thoroughly recommend them."
"Craig and his team were very professional throughout the job. They worked tirelessly and extremely hard. The job involved digging up a thick reinforced concrete base. Then creating a whole new base with precision engineering in preparation to accept a new building on top. The result was an excellent job all round."
