Four practical base options

A straightforward local service

The right shed base for a Wareham garden

A storage shed inside Wareham, a workshop towards Sandford or a building on a more rural BH20 plot may present very different access, level and drainage questions. JustBases compares the shed supplier's support requirement with the actual garden before recommending a construction.

You can start with the shed size and postcode. Craig can talk through concrete, paving slabs, a raised timber frame or ground screws, then arrange a visit when seeing the route or levels would make the quotation clearer.

Choosing the construction

Choose around the shed, not a postcode assumption

Wareham sits within a varied landscape, so the building and the individual plot matter more than a broad label for the town.

Heavier workshops

A rigid concrete slab may be the sensible starting point when the supplier calls for full-area support.

Changing garden levels

A raised frame can create the required level without building an unnecessarily deep slab across the whole footprint.

Lower-excavation option

Ground screws can be considered where the building can sit on a properly planned support frame.

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

"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

From town gardens to heath and river-edge ground

The British Geological Survey's South Dorset information records a mix of bedrock and superficial deposits across the wider Wareham area. Close to the surface, imported soil, old paving, drainage and previous landscaping can be just as important to a modest shed base.

We therefore inspect what is actually beneath the proposed footprint and agree the finished level rather than promising one standard construction for every BH20 address.

  • No soil report is required before your first enquiry
  • The shed footprint and support detail are checked before installation
  • Unexpected obstructions are discussed rather than hidden

Access handled with you

Access planned for Wareham's varied plots

Older streets can have narrow side routes, while outlying properties may involve longer carries, gates or soft tracks. These are ordinary planning points for the installation, not a reason to postpone contacting us.

A photograph of the route is useful when easy to send. Craig will tell you whether a site visit is worthwhile before the written price.

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

  • Approximate narrowest gate width
  • Steps or level changes on the route
  • The intended shed model or external dimensions
Start with the basics

Useful local guidance

Planning starts with the whole shed

A base does not create planning permission for the building above it. Shed rules can depend on height, position, use and the property's planning history, with additional considerations around listed buildings and conservation areas.

Dorset Council is the relevant planning authority for Wareham. Check the proposal as a complete building rather than treating the foundation as a separate exemption.

Dorset Council planning ↗

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

Shed businesses serving the Wareham area

These suppliers provide useful starting points when comparing building sizes and manufacturer base instructions.

Dorset Sheds ↗

Shaftesbury manufacturer of bespoke timber sheds and garden buildings.

Coastal Garden Buildings ↗

Christchurch supplier of sheds, workshops and other installed garden buildings.
