A solid foundation is critical to any garage’s stability. We offer concrete base laying services as well as concrete garages in southern Scotland.
Before you consider laying a concrete base yourself, here’s why our expert service is the smarter, safer choice.
Concrete garages everywhere, from Glasgow to Edinburgh, from Livingston to Clydebank, demand a robust base to stand the test of time. This means a flat, level, and square foundation with a minimum thickness of 4 to 5 inches throughout. It also requires precise measurements to ensure the base accommodates your garage perfectly, without the risk of shifting or instability. While the DIY route might save you money upfront, the potential for costly mistakes – like uneven surfaces or inadequate drainage – often outweighs any initial savings.
If you do decide to prepare your base yourself, several factors need careful attention. First, the base should extend at least 6 inches beyond the garage dimensions on all sides to ensure a proper fit. Measuring diagonals to confirm squareness is also vital. Additionally, the surrounding ground level should always sit lower than the concrete base, to prevent water pooling – a common problem in our wet climate.
For sloped driveways, you’ll need to install a gulley to direct surface water away from the structure, safeguarding against water damage. Sourcing high-quality ready-mix concrete and calculating the right volume are other crucial steps that require precision and expertise. And if your site is near walls or fences, accounting for roof overhang and gutter width adds another layer of complexity.
