Ground screws in Amesbury
A clean, practical base for Amesbury garden buildings
Ground screws replace a large dug foundation with an accurately positioned steel support grid. For an Amesbury garden room or office, that can mean less disruption, fewer material deliveries and a much quicker start for the frame.
You do not need to understand chalk, loads or screw positions before contacting us. Tell Craig what you want to build and JustBases will take care of the foundation detail.

Your enquiry
Ground screw installation in Amesbury
Local knowledge, handled by us
Amesbury's chalk landscape, understood by the team
Amesbury and Salisbury Plain are strongly associated with chalk, with different ground closer to the Avon and in previously worked gardens. The practical answer still comes from the actual building position, not a map alone.
We make that assessment as part of our work and explain the recommendation clearly—there is no ground investigation for you to complete before enquiring.
What we check for you
- 1 We map supports to the frame
- 2 We check the real installation area
- 3 We monitor every screw
- 4 We confirm heights using a laser
Why choose ground screws?
A cleaner, faster foundation for your garden building
Controlled finished height
Laser levelling establishes a consistent set of heads for the timber or steel support frame.
Useful on a modest fall
A suspended frame can form a level platform without cutting the whole slope flat.
No curing delay
The approved frame can follow once installation and levels have been checked.
Common applications
What can a ground screw base support?
From garden rooms and offices to sheds and studios, ground screws create a strong, level base without filling your garden with excavated soil or wet concrete.
Garden rooms
Level foundations for garden offices, gyms and studios.
Cabins and summerhouses
Level supports that separate a framed floor from direct ground contact.
Sheds and workshops
Point supports for compatible timber buildings, from storage to heavier workshops.
Decks and pergolas
Targeted supports where the proposed connections and lateral restraint are suitable.
The installation, made simple
Measured positions, purpose-built power and laser levelling
We turn the chosen building footprint into a firm, accurately levelled grid that can receive its frame as soon as installation is complete.
-
1 Each position follows the intended support frame.
Mark the support points
The team measures and squares the base, then places the ground screws into planned pilot positions.
-
2 Controlled installation combines power with laser accuracy.
Drive to the required level
A specialist high-torque machine installs the screws firmly while a laser guides their finished height.

3 Artist’s impression Artist's impression of the completed building above its frame.
Fit the frame without delay
After the complete grid is checked, the agreed timber or steel support frame can be installed immediately.
Transparent guide prices
Amesbury ground screw price guide
Guide prices for common garden-building sizes, based on a standard installation. The two options make it clear whether JustBases or another supplier is providing the frame.
| Building size | Installed ground screws Frame by others | Installed screws + timber frame |
|---|---|---|
| 8' x 6' 2.4m x 1.8m 48 ft² / 4.46 m² | £1,180 | £1,650 |
| 10' x 8' 3m x 2.4m 80 ft² / 7.43 m² | £1,280 | £1,750 |
| 12' x 10' 3.6m x 3m 120 ft² / 11.15 m² | £1,400 | £1,850 |
| 16' x 10' 4.8m x 3m 160 ft² / 14.86 m² | £1,500 | £2,050 |
| 20' x 10' 6m x 3m 200 ft² / 18.58 m² | £1,600 | £2,450 |
These are guide prices for standard installations. Your free written quotation confirms the exact price for your building and garden, including any support frame supplied by JustBases. Larger or unusual foundations are priced individually.
A simpler way to build the base
Why choose ground screws instead of a dug base?
An Amesbury ground screw base can avoid much of the digging, spoil removal and concrete movement of a traditional foundation, while allowing the frame to start immediately.
| Factor | Ground screw foundation | Excavated concrete or aggregate base |
|---|---|---|
| Ground removal | Usually limited to pilot locations | Typically extends across the building footprint |
| Uneven plots | Can carry a suspended level frame | Often needs more digging or built-up levels |
| Programme | No concrete curing interval | Concrete work needs suitable curing time |
| Hidden obstacles | May force a support redesign | Become visible through wider excavation |
Every garden is different. Craig will recommend the appropriate foundation and can explain alternative JustBases systems where they offer a better fit.
Easy to arrange
Tell us the basics and we will plan the route
Because ground screws reduce excavation and bulk materials, the work can be easier on lawns, driveways and side access than a full concrete base.
There is no long checklist before you call. If access looks tight, a phone photo is useful; if the answer is not obvious, we can arrange to see it.

Helpful local information
Amesbury planning information kept in perspective
Many home garden buildings can use permitted development rights. The finished building's size, use, height and location determine the position rather than the ground screws on their own.
Wiltshire Council provides property-specific planning and heritage information, including for sensitive settings around Amesbury. Those checks can run alongside your project; you can still ask us for a base quote now.
You do not need to settle every planning detail before speaking with us. The links are here if they help, and Craig is happy to explain which parts relate to the base.
