Shed bases for Ferndown and BH22
Accurate foundations for garden sheds and workshops, from compact paved bases to concrete slabs and raised frames.
A simple route to a reliable base
A Ferndown shed may replace an older building, occupy a corner of an established garden or sit on a plot with sandy-looking topsoil and hidden made ground beneath. Guessing from the surface can lead to the wrong preparation.
JustBases confirms the shed dimensions, proposed position and suitable foundation before installation. The result is a clear price and a base ready for the agreed building.
Choosing the construction
Storage, workshop machinery and a simple garden hideaway do not all place the same demand on a base.
Full-area support for substantial sheds when the supplier and use call for it.
A tidy choice for suitable smaller buildings on prepared ground.
Timber frames or ground screws can solve appropriate level and excavation problems.
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.

"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
BGS mapping around Ferndown includes Branksome Sand, Poole Formation deposits, river terraces and made ground. A garden can also have imported topsoil, old slabs or fill from previous landscaping.
We assess the proposed footprint rather than assuming free-draining sand or specifying the same sub-base everywhere.
Access handled with you
Ferndown's established plots can include long side passages, fences, hedges and garages between the road and garden. Access affects material handling but does not need to be solved before you call.
Send a route photograph if convenient. Craig will confirm whether a visit is needed to measure a pinch point or inspect an old base.
Helpful if you have them—not required before you call:
Useful local guidance
Height, position, intended use and the property's circumstances determine whether a shed is permitted development. Nearby heathland designations affect wider planning policy, but no general conclusion should be drawn for an individual garden.
Use Dorset Council's current guidance and seek property-specific advice where the proposal falls outside straightforward domestic outbuilding rules.
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 base requirements before choosing a delivery date, especially when replacing a differently sized building.
