What the foundation needs to do
A small bagged-feed room and a bulk store loaded by machinery are very different buildings. The latter may need high plinth walls and a slab designed for vehicles, partitions and impact.
We install the approved concrete or framed foundation after the storage method, building system and operational loads are understood.
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
Screws and a raised frame may suit a lightweight dry store for packaged feed when the structure and pest-control detail are compatible.
Often worth considering for: Small bagged-feed rooms on uneven or remote sites
Timber frame
Raised timber frame
A raised treated platform can support a small store while keeping bags above damp ground, provided vermin protection is designed.
Often worth considering for: Private smallholding stores with light manual loading
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
Bulk stores need the building designer to define wall pressures, impact loads and slab traffic. Do not use domestic garden-building prices for that scope.
Agricultural planning, drainage and pollution-control requirements may apply depending on location, size and use.
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.

"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."

Bulk and machinery-loaded stores commonly do. A small raised packaged-feed store may use another approved construction.
