Concrete bases in Kettering

Solid bases for Kettering garden buildings

From garden offices in Barton Seagrave to hot tub pads at Hanwood Park, we build concrete bases across Kettering and its villages, about 20 minutes from our base in Higham Ferrers.

Kettering’s ground can be stony ironstone in one garden and clay in the next, so every base starts with digging down to firm ground. Then comes 100mm of compacted MOT Type 1, a damp-proof membrane and the right thickness of concrete for what’s going on it.

Areas we cover: Kettering, Barton Seagrave, Burton Latimer, Rothwell, Desborough, Broughton, Cransley and Geddington

Local knowledge

Bases in Kettering: what to know

Local things we check on every Kettering base.

Hanwood Park gardens

Hanwood Park has been growing since 2016, with thousands more homes planned. Its gardens are often compact and level but tight for access, and some deeds restrict outbuildings, so we check before you order.

Ironstone and clay

Kettering sits on the ironstone belt, with clay in many areas. We dig past loose topsoil to firm ground, so your base doesn’t settle unevenly as the ground moves.

Sloping gardens

Some Kettering gardens slope noticeably. We dig the base into the slope or build it up with deeper shuttering so it finishes perfectly level, and price that clearly on your quote.

Planning and the council

Kettering is covered by North Northamptonshire Council. Most sheds and garden rooms are permitted development, but listed buildings and conservation areas in the older parts of town have extra rules.

Around 20 minutes up the A6 from our base in Higham Ferrers. We cover Kettering and the villages around it.

Yes. We dig into the slope or build up with shuttering so the base is level. Steeper slopes take more work, which we’ll price on your site visit.

Yes. Hot tubs need a 200mm reinforced pad. Check your deeds first, as some new homes restrict hot tubs or outbuildings.

Not if the base is built properly. Stony ground is slower to dig, but we always go down to firm ground and build on a compacted sub-base.
