Concrete greenhouse foundations built to give your greenhouse a solid, level platform that stands the test of time. From site clearance and dig-out to full groundworks and concrete pouring - reliable bases for all types and sizes of greenhouse.

Why choose a concrete base for your greenhouse?

  • Stable and level surface
    A concrete base ensures your greenhouse is perfectly level, preventing doors from sticking, glass from cracking and frames from twisting over time.

  • Superior durability - Concrete resists ground movement, frost heave and moisture far better than timber, gravel or soil bases.

  • Better drainage and moisture control - When installed with the correct falls and an internal drain alongside a damp-proof membrane. A concrete base helps prevent water pooling and humidity-related issues. It also enables the greenhouse to be washed down.

  • Long-term cost saving - Avoid expensive repairs or replacement of sagging greenhouse by starting with a proper foundation.

  • Professional finish - It creates a clean, tidy base that looks great, easy to clean and can be improved with a brick wall to gain height and give an elegant touch.

Our greenhouse base process
I handle the complete job start to finish:

  1. Site survey - I visit your site to assess ground conditions, measure the site for the planned greenhouse and advise on the best solution.

  2. Site dig-out and clearance - Full excavation and removal of turf, topsoil and any debris to the required depth.

  3. Groundwork preparation - Installation of compacted stone sub-base for excellent load-bearing strength and drainage.

  4. Formwork for concrete - Sturdy timber formwork preparation ready for the concrete pour.

  5. Concrete pour and finish - High-quality concrete is poured, levelled and can be finished to a variety of different styles and colours to suit. Drainage can also be added if required.

  6. Clear-up or masonry work - All formwork can be removed and left to cure before installation of your greenhouse or masonry work to build a dwarf wall for your greenhouse.
