What the foundation needs to do
Cat accommodation needs a secure junction between enclosure panels and floor, without openings that permit escape or trap paws. Boarding catteries also require surfaces that can be cleaned and disinfected effectively.
We form the base and specified drainage to the unit layout, keeping sleeping compartments, runs, corridors and external weather protection in view.
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.
Paving slabs
Paving-slab base
A sound slabbed base may suit a small private mesh run when it can be secured and maintained hygienically.
Often worth considering for: Simple domestic catios and lightweight enclosures
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
For commercial boarding, take the cattery layout to the licensing authority before foundations make the arrangement difficult to alter.
Statutory guidance advises effective drainage and smooth waterproof internal surfaces; the final coating and fit-out should be specified with the cattery supplier.
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.

"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."

Cattery Foundations FAQs
Current statutory guidance advises effective drainage and gives a gradient benchmark, but the approved design should confirm the project-specific falls and finish.
