Bases

Unless you’ve opted for the Platinum Package, preparing a base is the responsibility of the customer, as is the safe securing of the building once erected. All buildings require a level, solid base; either paving slabs, concrete, steel frame or timber decking upon which to install the building.

It is important the base is the correct size and no smaller than the footprint of the building. The base should also be a minimum of 4”/102mm in depth and must be level.

We are able to provide 2 types of bases for customers:

Concrete base

Our concrete base is charged per square ft with a minimum charge of £750. To install a concrete base, we’d need a site that is clear of tree roots and is relatively flat. Geographical and tipping fees and restricted access charges may also apply.

Dry base

The dry base system is a galvanised, height adjustable, steel frame that is fully retractable. Compared to a full concrete base, steel structures are lighter and have less of an impact on the environment since they require less extensive foundations. Our dry base system is charged per square ft. Geographical and restricted access charges may also apply.

If an installation has to be cancelled due to an inadequate base, a return journey charge will be payable.
