Question 1

Do you serve the whole Wareham area?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we cover all of Wareham (BH20) including Wareham Town, Stoborough, Sandford, Holton Heath, Ridge, Arne, and the surrounding Purbeck villages including Corfe Castle.

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 local Dorset family business with 50+ years of history, you can trust we'll be here if you ever need us.

Question 3

My garden is near the River Frome—can you handle drainage issues?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Properties near the River Frome floodplain require careful consideration of drainage and water table levels. We have extensive experience with these conditions and can advise on the best base type and sub-base preparation to ensure long-term stability.

Question 4

Do I need a site visit before you quote?

Accepted Answer

Not always. For standard bases, photos and measurements are usually enough. However, for complex sites—like sloping gardens in Ridge or properties on the heathland near Wareham Forest—we offer a free site survey.

Question 5

How do you handle the different soil types around Wareham?

Accepted Answer

Wareham has uniquely varied ground conditions. The sandy, acidic heathland soils near Wareham Forest drain quickly but can be unstable. The clay near the River Frome retains water and needs proper compaction. The chalk towards the Purbeck Hills has different load-bearing properties. We assess each site individually and prepare the sub-base accordingly.

Question 6

Do you take away the soil and waste?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Whether we're digging out clay near Stoborough or heathland soil in Sandford, we carefully remove all spoil from your site and work with Purbeck recycling centres 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 project in the Purbeck area.

Question 8

Why should I choose JustBases over a general handyman?

Accepted Answer

We are foundation specialists. We use engineering standards, laser levelling, and correct sub-base preparation tailored to Purbeck's varied geology. We ensure your building won't sink or shift—whether it's on heathland, clay, or chalk.

Question 9

Can you install a base on sloping ground?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many gardens in the Purbeck area have gradients, especially towards the hills. We specialise in raised timber frame bases and engineered concrete solutions designed specifically for uneven ground, saving you money on major excavation work.

Question 10

Do you work in the Corfe Castle and Purbeck Hills area?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly work across the Isle of Purbeck including Corfe Castle, Church Knowle, Langton Matravers, and the surrounding villages. We're familiar with the planning considerations in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Question 11

Do you cover the surrounding villages?

Accepted Answer

We cover: Wareham Town, Stoborough, Sandford, Holton Heath, Ridge, Arne, Corfe Castle, Church Knowle, Wool, East Stoke, Bovington, and throughout the Purbeck peninsula.
