What’s Included
Ashton’s ground adds a wrinkle worth knowing about: on old coalfield plots the subsoil can be uneven fill rather than solid clay, so we compact a proper hardcore layer under every pour rather than trusting whatever’s down there. That’s the difference between a base that stays true and one that cracks in its first winter.
- Shed bases, garden room bases, offices and summerhouses
- Reinforced garage bases and hot tub bases
- Built to your supplier’s exact base specification
- Full dig-out with soil and waste carted away
- Compacted hardcore sub-base under every pour
- Shuttered, tamped and laser-levelled
How It Works
Concrete Bases in Ashton-in-Makerfield, FAQs
Yes, on Ashton’s terraced plots we barrow the concrete through in a planned run, with the route sheeted from front door to formwork. It takes more labour than wheeling from a drive, and we’ll price that clearly at the quote.
Yes, we cut and fill to a level formation, compact hardcore in layers and shutter the slab to sit true. If we find genuinely poor fill when we dig, we’ll tell you before we pour, not after.
Yes, that’s exactly how we prefer to work. Most garden room and shed companies issue a base drawing with dimensions, thickness and tolerance. Send it over with your enquiry and we’ll quote against it, so the installers have nothing to complain about when they arrive.
You can walk on fresh concrete after a day or two, but most suppliers want the base cured for around five to seven days before a building goes up, and concrete keeps gaining strength for weeks after that. We’ll give you a straight answer on timing when we pour, based on the weather and the load going on top.
Usually no. A shed base the exact footprint of the building, or fractionally smaller, lets rainwater drip past the walls instead of pooling and soaking back into the timber. Some suppliers specify a small margin, so we always work from their drawing where one exists.
