Start with what you want to build
The right foundation for your kennel building
Kennel floors are part of the hygiene system, not simply a base beneath wall panels. Domestic runs need a dry, secure footing; commercial boarding units also have licensing requirements for durable surfaces, cleaning and drainage.
Impervious cleanable finish
The floor build-up should support the specified sealed, non-slip and disinfectable finish.
Explore the details →Controlled falls
Wash water and urine need to reach appropriate drainage without crossing neighbouring pens or walkways.
Explore the details →Secure perimeter
Wall, panel and run fixings must align with the base and avoid gaps at animal level.
Explore the details →Dry sleeping areas
Internal levels and thresholds should keep weather and wash water away from bedding zones.

From first call to a finished foundation
Getting started is simple. We will guide you through the choices and explain any information needed before installation.
Talk through the options
We discuss the site and suitable foundations, identify any supplier information needed and provide a clear written quotation.
Install and hand over
Our team marks out and installs the agreed foundation, with the required checks before the next stage of your project.
Choose the foundation, not the complication
Foundation options for your kennel building
These are the methods worth assessing for this application. The structure, support plan and actual ground determine the right choice—not a one-size-fits-all specification.
Concrete
Concrete foundation
A purpose-formed slab provides the rigid, durable platform normally required for permanent kennels, channels and sealed finishes.
Worth considering for: Boarding kennels, multi-run blocks and permanent domestic units

Installed ground screws
Ground screws and support frame
Ground screws can support a compatible raised timber kennel cabin, but open runs, hygiene and predator/security details still need a separate approved surface solution.
Worth considering for: Selected private raised kennel buildings away from commercial washdown areas

Kennel & Boarding Kennel Bases installation
Planned around its use
What matters for your kennel building
We install the specified slab and drainage groundwork to the kennel supplier's plan and, for licensed premises, the approved layout agreed with the relevant authority or designer.
Discuss your project with Craig →Impervious cleanable finish
The floor build-up should support the specified sealed, non-slip and disinfectable finish.
Controlled falls
Wash water and urine need to reach appropriate drainage without crossing neighbouring pens or walkways.
Secure perimeter
Wall, panel and run fixings must align with the base and avoid gaps at animal level.
Dry sleeping areas
Internal levels and thresholds should keep weather and wash water away from bedding zones.
When the design and ground are suitable
Why consider ground screws?
Year-round flexibility
A screw-only foundation avoids pouring and curing concrete, reducing one source of weather-related delays. Unsafe access, flooding, frozen or unsuitable ground can still mean postponing installation.
Less digging and mess
Localised supports can reduce excavation and spoil compared with extensive concrete foundations. Clearance, pre-drilling, service trenches and machinery access may still disturb the site.
A lower-impact approach
Using less concrete and moving less spoil can reduce material use and transport. Retaining vegetation may benefit habitats, but trees and wildlife still need protection. Steel manufacture and the full project design matter to any carbon comparison.
Before installation
Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities
Commercial boarding premises require local-authority licensing and inspection. Agree unit sizes, drainage, isolation and operational layout before constructing the foundation.
Drainage destination matters: wash water containing animal waste should not simply run into a neighbouring garden or surface-water system.
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.

Straight answers before you decide
Kennel & Boarding Kennel Bases FAQs
Licensed premises need effective drainage without standing liquid. The approved scheme should define falls, channels and discharge before the slab is formed.
