Ground screws in Fareham
A cleaner foundation for Fareham garden buildings

We convert the building footprint into support positions, install each screw with specialist high-torque equipment and check the complete grid before framing.

1 Accurate set-out follows the building frame.
Position the supports
The building area is measured and squared, then each screw is set into a planned pilot position.
-
2 High-torque installation creates firm, level support.

A simpler way to build the base
Why choose ground screws instead of a dug base?
Ground screws can make a Fareham base much lighter on the property: less excavation, fewer material movements and no curing delay.
| Factor | Ground screw foundation | Excavated concrete or aggregate base |
|---|---|---|
| Spoil | Usually minimal | Often significant |
| Wet ground | Planned for the actual garden | Usually needs a prepared, drained base |
| Slope | Can carry a suspended frame | May need extra groundworks |
| Timing | Immediate after checks | Curing interval |
Craig will recommend the foundation that suits the real building and garden. JustBases can explain other base systems when appropriate.
Easy to arrange
Compact access or coastal plot? Start with a call
Ground screw work avoids many heavy material movements, making side paths and established gardens easier to manage than with a full dug base.
No access report is needed. A photo helps if convenient, and we can visit when the simplest answer is to see it.

Helpful local information
Fareham planning links kept straightforward
Many domestic garden buildings can use permitted development rights. Planning usually depends on the finished building's dimensions, use and location rather than the screws alone.
Fareham Borough Council provides local conservation and property maps. These can be checked while we prepare the foundation quote.
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.
