Question 1

Do you cover all of the Eastleigh area?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We cover all of Eastleigh (SO50) including Bishopstoke, Fair Oak, Horton Heath, Chandler's Ford, Hedge End, Botley, and Barton. We also serve nearby areas like West End, Bursledon, and into Southampton.

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 a family business with 50 years of experience across Hampshire, we stand behind every installation.

Question 3

My garden has heavy clay soil. Is that a problem?

Accepted Answer

Not at all—we're specialists in clay foundations. Northern Eastleigh areas like Bishopstoke and Fair Oak often have poorly drained clay soils. We install proper drainage, use the correct sub-base depth, and ensure your foundation won't crack or shift as the clay expands and contracts seasonally.

Question 4

The ground in my garden is quite sandy/gravelly. Does that need special treatment?

Accepted Answer

Southern Eastleigh areas like Hedge End and Botley often have acid soils over gravel beds. These drain well but can shift under heavy loads. We compact and stabilise the sub-base correctly to prevent settlement, especially important for heavier structures like garden rooms and hot tubs.

Question 5

Can you install a base on sloping ground?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many gardens in Chandler's Ford and the Itchen Valley slopes have gradients. We specialise in raised timber frame bases and engineered concrete solutions designed specifically for uneven ground, saving you money on extensive excavation.

Question 6

Do you take away the soil and waste?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Whether we're digging out clay in Bishopstoke or gravel in Hedge End, we carefully remove all spoil from your site and work with Eastleigh recycling facilities 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 across Hampshire.

Question 8

Why should I choose JustBases over a general builder?

Accepted Answer

We are foundation specialists. We use engineering standards, laser levelling, and the correct sub-base preparation for Eastleigh's specific soil conditions. A general builder may not understand how clay heave or gravel settlement affects your base—we do.

Question 9

I've bought a building from a local supplier. Can you install the base?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many of our customers in Eastleigh choose buildings from trusted suppliers like Winchester Sheds, Forest Edge, or EcoBlue. While we are an independent company, we have extensive experience installing bases to the precise dimensions these premium buildings require.

Question 10

How quickly can you start work?

Accepted Answer

We pride ourselves on fast turnaround. With good access to Eastleigh via the M3 corridor, we can often schedule your installation within 1-2 weeks of confirming your quote. Urgent jobs may be accommodated even sooner.

Question 11

Do you work near Southampton Airport?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly work in properties close to Southampton Airport. If there are any access restrictions or timing considerations for your area, we work around them to ensure minimal disruption.
