Concrete Base Installation Great Linford

Concrete Bases For Great Linford Gardens

Great Linford has a different feel from many of the tighter residential areas around Milton Keynes. A number of properties have larger corner plots and more usable garden space, which can make it possible to install a bigger structure than the homeowner may originally have considered.

That extra space does not remove the need for proper planning. The position of the base still needs to work with the garden layout, existing paving, boundaries and the intended building. We look at the actual site before deciding how the excavation and installation should be approached.

Where access is open enough for direct delivery of materials, the work can often be organised more efficiently. This helps with moving materials onto the site and avoids creating unnecessary disruption through the house or around the rest of the garden.

Built Around The Way Great Linford Properties Are Used

A lot of the work we carry out around Milton Keynes involves homeowners making better use of space they already have. In Great Linford, a larger corner plot may provide room for a substantial sized outdoor building, but the concrete base still needs to be matched to the structure and the ground conditions.

The high-density residential streets around the wider Milton Keynes area also mean that access and coordination can vary from one job to the next. Even where a Great Linford property has open access, we check how materials will arrive, where excavation spoil will go and how the work can be completed without unnecessarily affecting the rest of the property.

Our Great Linford Concrete Base Installation Process

We keep the installation process straightforward. The exact work depends on the size of the base, the proposed building and the condition of the existing ground, but every job is planned around the site rather than treated as a standard slab.

Initial Site Assessment

We discuss what you are planning to build, look at the proposed position and consider the available access. This gives us the information needed to work out the appropriate size and installation approach.

Excavation

The installation area is excavated to remove unsuitable surface material and create space for the prepared sub-base and concrete slab.

Sub-Base Preparation

A suitable MOT Type 1 sub-base is installed and compacted to create a firm platform beneath the concrete. The amount of preparation required depends on the existing ground and the demands of the finished structure.

Formwork And Reinforcement

Timber formwork is set out to the required dimensions. Where the project calls for it, reinforcement is positioned before the concrete is placed.

Concrete Placement And Finishing

Fresh concrete is poured, levelled and finished to provide the surface required for the intended building. The work is then checked before the site is handed back.

If you’re planning a shed, workshop, garden office, garage or another building on your Great Linford property, get in touch with the details of the project. We can discuss the proposed size, the position of the base and the access available for the work.

Where access allows direct material delivery, we can plan the installation around the site from the outset. From the initial excavation through to the finished concrete base, the work is organised around producing the foundation your project requires.
