Solid Concrete Bases Built Properly
At Currell Groundworks, we build concrete bases for sheds, garages, workshops, garden rooms and outbuildings across Huntingdon, St Neots, Cambridge and surrounding Cambridgeshire villages.
A good base is what everything else relies on. If the concrete base isn’t level, thick enough, or properly prepared underneath, problems start later on — cracking concrete, sinking corners, water sitting against buildings, or doors and frames going out of line.
We build bases properly from the ground up so they stay solid for years to come.

Ground Preparation is the Important Part
Most people only see the finished concrete, but the real work is underneath it.
Before pouring concrete, we first excavate the area to the correct depth and remove any soft or unsuitable ground. We then install and compact a solid hardcore sub-base to create a stable foundation underneath the slab.
Without proper preparation underneath, concrete can crack or sink over time.
Depending on the job, we may also install:
- Weed-control membrane
- Reinforcement mesh
- Additional hardcore depth
- Drainage solutions if the area holds water
Reinforced Concrete Bases
For heavier structures such as garages, workshops or large outbuildings, reinforcement is often needed to increase strength and reduce the risk of cracking.
We install reinforcement mesh where required and make sure the slab thickness is suitable for the intended load.
If you’re unsure what type of base you need, we’re happy to advise.
Drainage & Water Runoff
Built for Access Challenges
Not every job has perfect access.
A lot of gardens around Huntingdon and older Cambridgeshire properties have narrow gates, tight pathways or restricted access that makes getting machinery in difficult.
We regularly carry out jobs where materials need to be moved through side access or work has to be completed carefully by hand. We always work out the best approach before starting the job.
Local Groundworkers You Can Trust
We’re based in Cambridgeshire and take pride in doing honest work to a high standard.
A lot of our work comes through recommendations from previous customers who want a reliable local company that turns up, communicates properly and does the job right.
We treat every job properly whether it’s a small shed base or a larger groundwork project.
