What’s Included
Sheds, hot tubs and garages ask the same question of the ground: the structure is only ever as good as what it sits on. We build to the load, depth of concrete, hardcore beneath, reinforcement where it’s warranted, and we’re used to working the materials through tight side-gate access on estate plots.

- Reinforced garage bases and hot tub bases
- Built to your supplier’s exact base specification

How It Works
Concrete Bases in Lowton, FAQs
The base itself, no. Most garden rooms also fall under permitted development, though height limits apply near boundaries. If your plans are borderline, checking with Wigan Council before pouring is far cheaper than finding out after.
Yes, plenty of Lowton estate plots only offer a side gate. We barrow materials through, protect the route as we go, and leave the garden as we found it apart from the new base.
For most sheds and garden rooms, around 100mm of concrete over a compacted hardcore sub-base is the standard. A garage base, hot tub base or heavier structure usually needs 150mm with reinforcement mesh. If your building comes with a supplier spec, we build to that. It overrides any rule of thumb.
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.
