Four practical base options

A reliable base before the building arrives

Choose for the shed, levels and access

New Milton gardens range from established suburban plots to coastal-edge locations around Barton on Sea. Clayey ground, gravelly surface material or an old paved area may appear locally, but none should be assumed without looking.

JustBases reviews the shed and garden together, then provides a clear written price for the agreed construction.

Choosing the construction

Four base types kept in perspective

The best choice is the simplest one that properly supports the building.

Concrete

A robust slab for substantial sheds and workshop uses.

Paving slabs

A tidy prepared option for suitable smaller storage buildings.

Timber or screw support

Framed choices when levels, excavation or the building layout favour them.

Three easy steps

From first call to a shed-ready base

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.

  1. 01

    Call, WhatsApp or send the form

    Share the shed size, your postcode and what you know about the proposed position. That is enough to begin.

  2. 02

    Discuss the base and price

    Craig listens, arranges a site visit when it would help and provides a clear written quotation for the agreed foundation.

  3. 03

    We install the level base

    The team marks out and installs the chosen base to the agreed footprint, ready for the shed installation to follow.

Four practical choices

Choose the base that suits the shed and garden

You do not need to choose before contacting us. We compare the building, access, levels and intended use, then explain the simplest suitable option.

Prepared poured concrete base for a garden building

Poured concrete

A full-area slab for heavy sheds, workshops and buildings whose supplier requires a rigid continuous base.

  • Installed to the agreed footprint and finished level
  • Useful for heavier equipment and substantial timber buildings
  • We confirm when the shed installation can safely follow

From £695 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²)

Raised timber frame base being installed for a garden building

Raised timber frame

A treated support frame for suitable sheds on uneven or sloping gardens where a level platform is needed.

  • Supported at planned positions rather than across the full footprint
  • Can reduce excavation where garden levels change
  • Built to suit the shed footprint and bearer arrangement

From £840 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²)

Level paving slab base prepared for a small garden building

Paving slab base

A neat, level surface for many smaller sheds when the building supplier accepts a slabbed foundation.

  • Individual slabs laid on a properly prepared sub-base
  • Practical for storage sheds and compact garden buildings
  • Base dimensions coordinated with the shed before installation

From £620 for 9' × 5' (45 ft² / 4.18 m²)

Ground screws supporting a level timber frame in a garden

Ground screws

Installed galvanised supports for a suitable timber or steel frame, often with less full-footprint excavation.

  • Purpose-made machinery and laser-controlled levels
  • No concrete curing delay after the installed supports are checked
  • Support frame supplied by JustBases or coordinated with others

Installed screws from £1,180 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²); frame quoted separately

Genuine feedback on relevant base work

"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

Barton Clay, sands and gravel in the wider area

The BGS Ringwood district describes Barton Clay, Barton Sand and superficial gravels around the wider New Milton area. Garden development and imported material add further near-surface variation.

We choose preparation after looking at the actual footprint and drainage, not by attaching a single clay or sand label to BH25.

  • The visible and existing ground is assessed
  • Old patios can be retained only when suitable
  • Base height is coordinated with shed access

Access handled with you

Established plots and coastal neighbourhoods

Hedges, conservatories, garages and long side passages can shape material movement in New Milton. Barton on Sea properties may also have different exposure and garden levels.

Share obvious route constraints; we can request specific measurements only if they are needed.

Helpful if you have them—not required before you call:

  • Gate or passage width
  • Existing hardstanding
  • Whether the shed will contain heavy equipment
Start with the basics

Useful local guidance

New Milton shed planning

The complete outbuilding should be checked for height, position and use. Some addresses near the National Park boundary or within other designated areas may need additional care.

New Forest District Council provides the main planning route, with the National Park Authority relevant where the exact property falls within its boundary.

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.
