Key Considerations for Concrete Base Installation
Every installation starts with a site assessment to ensure lasting performance. We’ll help you consider:
-
Ground conditions
Is excavation or levelling needed? -
Building load
Will it house equipment, furniture or vehicles? -
Insulation needs
Does the space need thermal performance? -
Finish preference
Smooth or brushed for anti-slip? -
Drainage & moisture control
Do you need a soakaway or water diversion?
Our team ensures every detail is right before pouring begins, giving you confidence that your shed base concrete will perform for years to come.
