Shed bases in Burley and the New Forest
Carefully planned foundations for sheds and workshops in wooded, sloping and village gardens around Burley.
Respect the garden, support the shed
Burley plots can include mature trees, heath-edge vegetation, uneven ground and access along village lanes. These features do not automatically dictate a foundation, but they deserve consideration before materials arrive.
JustBases compares lower-excavation framed options with slabs or concrete, always starting from the shed's actual support requirement.
Choosing the construction
The aim is a stable level base, not a blanket promise about one 'eco' solution.
A full slab for substantial buildings when access and site constraints allow.
Useful for suitable sheds on uneven ground with an agreed support layout.
Considered individually; roots, ground, services and protected-tree constraints still matter.
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

"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."

Local ground context
The BGS Ringwood district records a varied New Forest sequence around Burley, including sands, clays, gravels and organic valley deposits. Local wetness and vegetation are not enough to identify what is beneath a specific base area.
We therefore inspect the garden and discuss drainage, roots and levels without claiming that a particular foundation avoids all disturbance.
Access handled with you
Access may involve narrow lanes, gates, overhanging branches or a longer carry into a wooded garden. We plan safe unloading and material movement for the chosen system.
Photographs are often enough to understand the route; Craig will arrange a visit if measurements or levels need checking.
Helpful if you have them—not required before you call:
Useful local guidance
New Forest National Park planning policies and the property's individual circumstances can affect outbuildings. Height, location, use, listed status and conservation context should all be considered.
Use the National Park Authority's current guidance for the exact address; the foundation does not remove the need to check the shed.
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
Confirm both the building footprint and the way its floor must be supported before a base is agreed.
