Outdoor Building Bases

Outdoor Building Bases

Professional Installation Services for Concrete Bases and Exterior Floor Subframe Systems

Since 2006 we've constructed dozens of bases for outdoor buildings supplied by a wide range of upmarket outdoor building manufacturers and suppliers.

These include Dunster House,  Warwick Buildings,  Heart of England,  Rutland Sheds,  Browns Garden Buildings as well as many other smaller independent outdoor building suppliers. 

Most companies selling their outdoor buildings will specify a footprint plan and give you special instructions to pass to your chosen base installer.  They then leave finding that base installer, ordering and construction of the base to you!

Concrete Bases for Prefabricated Outdoor Buildings

We understand that bases need to be precisely laid to each manufacturer's footprint plan.  Otherwise, even if the bases are only marginally wrong, the installers halt work on arrival.  When this occurs they leave the prefabricated constructions until the base is corrected and then come back at a later date!   

​This involves a significant charge to you for their inconvenience.  You then have to call the base installer back to rectify the issue, with the hassle and delay that occurs.  It means you will be waiting far longer to enjoy your new outdoor space and building!

Concrete bases have been the standard for larger sized outdoor buildings such as summer houses, conservatory's, garden offices, living area extensions, games rooms, or buildings for Pilates, Reiki, hairdressing and nail salons.
As concrete is a major CO2 emissions polluter, we have brought to market a far better, eco-friendly base installation option.  It is precision engineered to your specific building and avoids revisits and reworks.    


(For smaller storage or garden sheds and workshops, a lighter concrete base or simple pad can often be suitable. )  

'Dry bases' for Prefabricated Outdoor Buildings - ​The 'Eco-friendly' Solution

Picture
All our customers now have the option to install eco-friendly 'dry bases' for their outdoor buildings (i.e. not concrete - a major contributor to CO2 emissions).  They are pre-fabricated to precise dimensions, brought to site and easily and quickly fitted.

This typically involves far less work such as digging out and back filling with a sub base of hardcore.  It saves the costs and time of hauling away the diggings and then hauling back the hardcore!  It avoids the need to create shuttering and pour tons of concrete! 

It also gives the option for a seamless outdoor space to be extended for seating, barbecues areas or other enjoyment.  

It can often be laid on top of existing surfaces with far less preparatory work and always less than for a concrete base!   

The choice of internal flooring can be very simple or be matched to the outdoor surrounding patio areas with ease.  It helps 'bring the indoors out and the outdoors in' and gives that lovely finish to your investment. 

(Our bases also have the capability to be moved if circumstances change.  They are fireproof and also recyclable!  So they are a far 'greener' option in all respects. )

Precision engineering for installers that can be certain the base they need is dimensionally sound.
