Ground Screw Foundation Bases - Supplied and Built

SCROLL DOWN TO SEE PRICES

Since we were established in 1981 we have connected thousands of customers to our unique network of independent baselayers. Specialist teams have offered to lay bases for our buildings in many areas at favourable rates in return for recurring work. The prices are offered within a specific area and subject to conditions. You deal direct with the baselayer which keeps the prices low and you pay them separately. We make no commission except for a small upfront referral fee. The baselayers pay us nothing and we pay them nothing. Although we do not manage or supervise the work directly we listen carefully to feedback and any team who provides a poor service is removed from our network. For decades this effective system has provided a low cost option for our customers with high levels of satisfaction.

To order online just add your chosen baselayer to your shopping basket before you proceed to the checkout. Please note that this baselaying option is only available if you purchase one of our buildings.

A ground screw foundation base is a substantial platform with strong support posts that are sunk deep into the ground. The floor of your building is laid on the platform. Additional floor bearers are not needed. This eco-friendly alternative to more traditional base options can be easily built over sloping ground without expensive excavation or levelling. Unlike concrete, these bases can be installed year-round and the base doesn't need any time to cure; it can be used immediately after completion. The platform is at least a few inches above the ground, higher than a paving or concrete base. With a multi-decade long lifespan, the ground screws can be relocated in the future if required and cause less site disruption.

Specifications

• The ground screw base prices include supplying and installing a steel ground screw foundation and a steel bar sub-frame base.
• The prices do not include a survey and assume access to the site on any weekday with notice at least the day before.
• The prices assume no significant excavation and no obstructions such as existing buildings, garden walls, trees or compost heaps.
• Underfloor insulation is available as an optional extra, as shown on the base pictured at the top of this page - prices on request.

Base Completion Date

A base completion date is specified when you order. This is normally four weeks after the order date unless an alternative date is agreed. The building is delivered shortly after this date. The completion date may be longer at busier times or due to holidays.

Additional Information

• If possible allow space around a building to ensure comfortable access for installation and maintenance. If the base is sited near a wall or fence remember to allow for the roof overhang. Any overhanging trees or branches should be cut back.
• We regularly monitor the prices charged by our baselayers. In over 80% of cases the actual prices charged and the prices quoted above are exactly the same. However, there are circumstances in which additional charges may be required including, for example if site clearance is required or if access is restricted. We recommend the customer to confirm the price payable with the baselayer before work starts. We also recommend the baselayer to advise the customer at the earliest opportunity if the price is likely to exceed the prices quoted above.
• Payment is due to the baselayer prior to attending site, when booking in the date for the base layer to attend site.
• By starting the work the baselayer implies acceptance of the conditions set out on this page. By allowing the work to proceed the customer also implies acceptance of these conditions.
• We recommend the customer to advise the baselayer in advance of any special requirements or unusual site conditions and to clearly indicate the position and size required for the base. We also recommend the customer to inspect the work carefully soon after completion, while the baselayer is on site if possible, and to discuss any concerns without delay.
