Shed foundations for Broadstone gardens
Accurately sized bases for storage sheds, workshops and timber garden buildings—installed with clear prices and a full 10-year guarantee.
Designed around the real garden
Broadstone's established gardens range from level lawns to wooded plots with mature boundaries and changing levels. The most useful first question is not 'Which base is cheapest?' but 'What support does this shed need in this position?'
JustBases can install a poured slab, paving-slab base, raised timber frame or ground-screw support. Tell Craig the model or footprint and he will make the choice easy to understand.
Choosing the construction
The shed weight, bearer pattern, access and finished height are considered together.
Useful for substantial workshops or sheds whose supplier specifies a continuous slab.
A properly prepared slabbed surface can suit many lighter storage sheds.
Timber or ground-screw-supported frames can be considered where a raised platform is appropriate.
Three easy steps
You do not need to work out the construction first. Tell us about the shed and garden; we will explain the suitable choices and price the agreed work.
Share the shed size, your postcode and what you know about the proposed position. That is enough to begin.
Craig listens, arranges a site visit when it would help and provides a clear written quotation for the agreed foundation.
The team marks out and installs the chosen base to the agreed footprint, ready for the shed installation to follow.
Four practical choices
You do not need to choose before contacting us. We compare the building, access, levels and intended use, then explain the simplest suitable option.
A full-area slab for heavy sheds, workshops and buildings whose supplier requires a rigid continuous base.
From £695 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²)
A treated support frame for suitable sheds on uneven or sloping gardens where a level platform is needed.
From £840 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²)
A neat, level surface for many smaller sheds when the building supplier accepts a slabbed foundation.
From £620 for 9' × 5' (45 ft² / 4.18 m²)
Installed galvanised supports for a suitable timber or steel frame, often with less full-footprint excavation.
Installed screws from £1,180 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²); frame quoted separately

Local ground context
BGS mapping for the Bournemouth district describes sand and clay units within the wider Poole Formation, with superficial deposits in parts of the area. That broad picture cannot tell us what lies beneath a particular lawn.
The base design responds to the actual surface, drainage, level changes and any previous patio or landscaping encountered at the proposed position.
Access handled with you
Broadstone properties often have mature planting, side gates and routes shared with the house. We plan how people, materials and any compact equipment will reach the base without turning the first enquiry into a technical exercise.
A simple route photograph can resolve many questions; a visit is arranged if slope, parking or access needs to be seen.

Useful local guidance
Many domestic sheds can be permitted development, but position, height, use and property constraints matter. Conservation status, protected trees or previous planning conditions may also affect an individual address.
Broadstone falls within the BCP Council planning area. Their current guidance is the right starting point for the complete proposal.
Planning information is a practical starting point, not legal or planning advice. Confirm the position for the exact property and building with the relevant authority.
Choosing the building
Compare the building specification as well as the appearance, and ask for its exact base footprint or bearer plan.
