Four practical base options

Start with the building

A level foundation chosen for your shed

A good shed base is not simply a patch of hard ground. It needs the correct footprint, adequate support and a finished level that works with the building, surrounding garden and door threshold.

JustBases installs four proven systems and explains which one suits the shed, access, slope and intended use. You can ask for advice before deciding whether you need concrete, slabs, a frame or ground screws.

Ask Craig about your shed

Storage sheds

Compact and family-size sheds with a foundation matched to the supplier's requirements.

Heavy workshops

Bases planned around machinery, storage and the floor rigidity the building needs.

Summerhouses

Level support coordinated with doors, glazing and the intended finished height.

Replacement buildings

Old bases assessed for retention, alteration or removal before unnecessary work is priced.

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

Concrete, slabs, frames or ground screws

Published guide prices stay consistent across our service area, while your written quotation confirms the exact construction, access requirements and inclusions for your garden.

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 customer feedback

"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."
