What the foundation needs to do
Commercial smoking shelters are exposed framed structures and commonly bolt to concrete or use posts set into pockets. Some models require a full slab; others use deep foundations beneath each end.
We install the published or project-specific base detail and coordinate surface drainage, paths and any cigarette-bin fixing positions.
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.
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
Use the exact shelter model before forming concrete: base-fixed, root-fixed and spigoted versions can have different foundation requirements.
Smoke-free compliance is determined by the completed shelter's enclosure and use. The base contractor does not certify the finished shelter.
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."
