Shed foundations in Fareham and PO16
Accurately prepared bases for garden sheds, storage buildings and workshops across Fareham.
From first dimensions to finished base
Fareham includes compact town gardens, established suburban plots and lower-lying areas towards the harbour. Access, garden level and exposure vary, and a workshop carrying heavy equipment needs different thought from a small storage shed.
We compare the four base systems and state the chosen construction clearly in the quotation.
Choosing the construction
A proportionate base avoids both under-support and unnecessary work.
Rigid full-area support where weight and use justify it.
A cost-effective prepared surface for appropriate smaller sheds.
Raised timber or ground screws for selected slopes and support layouts.
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

Work listed by the source: Concrete base for log cabin
"Craig and his team have been fantastic. Had the team over twice now to help with our garden project and both times I've been super impressed with the work. The team are extremely hard working but most important to me is the quality of their workmanship. The fencing looks amazing and the cabin was spot on in terms of dimensions and perfectly level. I would highly recommend."

Local ground context
The BGS Southampton district records varied clays, sands, river terraces and coastal alluvium around the wider Fareham area. Local development and garden fill further affect the surface.
We look at the intended footprint and drainage instead of assuming all harbour-side or inland gardens behave alike.
Access handled with you
Side gates, driveways and parking conditions determine how materials reach the garden. Changes in level towards the rear of a plot can affect both the construction and finished shed step.
A route photograph is useful when convenient; we will arrange a visit where direct measurement is better.

Useful local guidance
Domestic shed rules depend on the complete building, including height, position and use. Conservation, flood or listed-property constraints need exact-address checking.
Fareham Borough Council supplies the current planning route and property mapping.
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 the external base dimension rather than relying only on the advertised nominal shed size.
