Concrete Bases in Wigan
A shed or garden room is only as good as the base under it. We dig out, shutter, pour and level concrete bases built to your supplier’s exact spec. Around seven miles from our Leigh base.
Concrete Bases for Wigan Gardens
Half the challenge of a concrete base in Wigan is getting the material to the hole. Plenty of terraced gardens are reached down a ginnel or straight through the house. We plan for that: barrowing distance, boards and sheeting through hallways, and mixing on site where a wagon can’t get close.
We cover Wigan and the surrounding area: Scholes, Whelley, Swinley, Beech Hill, Worsley Mesnes and beyond (WN1, WN2, WN3, WN6).

What’s Included
The base itself is the easy part to get quietly wrong, too thin, no reinforcement, poor levels, and you only find out once the building is on top. We dig, shutter, reinforce where the load calls for it and finish level to the tolerance the supplier asks for.
- 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 Wigan, FAQs
Yes, it’s common on Wigan’s terraced streets. We either barrow through the house with everything sheeted and boarded, or mix in the back garden itself. It adds some labour, and we price that honestly up front.
All the time, it’s become one of our most regular jobs. Give us the supplier’s base specification and we’ll build to it exactly, so the installers arrive to a base that fits first time.
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.
