Question 1

Do you cover the Blandford Forum area?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we regularly work throughout the DT11 postcode area including Blandford Forum town centre, Blandford St Mary, Pimperne, Bryanston, Milton Abbas, Winterborne Stickland, Shillingstone, Okeford Fitzpaine, and Langton Long.

Question 2

Do you offer a guarantee on your work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide a rock-solid 10-year guarantee on all materials and labour. As an established Dorset family business, you have complete peace of mind knowing we stand behind our work.

Question 3

My property is near the River Stour. Will flooding affect my base?

Accepted Answer

Properties on the floodplain have soft, wet alluvial soils that need special attention. We design foundations with proper drainage and, where appropriate, raised bases to protect your garden building. Our experience with Stour Valley ground conditions means your base will be built to last.

Question 4

What about the chalk bedrock in Blandford?

Accepted Answer

Chalk provides excellent bearing capacity for foundations—it's one of the best natural bases. However, the chalk often has varied overlays including gravel, clay-with-flints, or alluvium. We assess your specific site conditions and adapt our approach accordingly.

Question 5

I'm on the northern hills with clay soil. Is this a problem?

Accepted Answer

Clay-with-flints soil, common on northern hilltops around Blandford, is prone to shrink-swell movement. We use appropriate sub-base preparation and, for larger structures, may recommend reinforced concrete to ensure long-term stability regardless of seasonal changes.

Question 6

Do you take away the soil and waste?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Whether we're excavating chalk in the town centre or clay on the hilltops, we carefully remove all spoil from your site and work with Blandford recycling centres and registered waste carriers to dispose of waste responsibly, minimising our environmental footprint.

Question 7

Are you fully insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we hold full Public Liability Insurance. We operate to strict health and safety standards on every residential and commercial project in the Blandford area.

Question 8

Can you install a base in a Georgian town garden with limited access?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Blandford Forum's historic Georgian centre means many properties have narrow access. We regularly work in restricted spaces using smaller equipment and wheelbarrow access when needed—your base will be installed to the same high standard regardless of access constraints.

Question 9

Do you work near Bryanston School and estate properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly install bases for properties around Bryanston, including larger garden offices, studio spaces, and outbuildings on estate grounds. Our team is experienced with the specific requirements of larger rural properties.

Question 10

Can you install a base on sloping chalk downland?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many gardens in Pimperne, Winterborne, and the surrounding downland are on gradients. We specialise in raised timber frame bases and engineered concrete solutions designed specifically for uneven ground, saving you money on extensive excavation.

Question 11

Do you cover the surrounding villages?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we cover: Blandford Forum Town Centre, Blandford St Mary, Pimperne, Bryanston, Langton Long, Milton Abbas, Winterborne Stickland, Winterborne Houghton, Winterborne Clenston, Shillingstone, Okeford Fitzpaine, Child Okeford, and the wider Stour Valley.
