Shed Refelting & Repairs

Why Ground Screws

A cleaner, stronger alternative to concrete

Ground screws have replaced concrete for most garden building foundations. They're quicker, cleaner, and far better suited to Cornwall's sloping, wet and awkward gardens.

  • Installed in as little as one day
  • No mess, no excavation, no waste
  • Fully removable — no permanent ground disruption
  • Superior drainage versus concrete pads
  • Ideal for sloped or uneven Cornish gardens
  • Engineered to last decades
  • Eco-friendly — no cement production
Sloping garden?

Ground screws create a level base without major digging.

Old base failed?

Stable, draining foundations help avoid pooling and rot.

Need it sorted quickly?

How long does a ground screw base installation take?

Most ground screw bases are installed in a single day. A standard 3m × 3m shed base takes 3–5 hours. Larger garden room or cabin bases may take slightly longer, but we aim to finish everything in a single visit.

Do I need planning permission for a ground screw base?

In most cases, no. Ground screw bases for standard garden buildings fall within permitted development rights. If you're in a conservation area or the structure is unusually large, different rules may apply. Oliver will advise during your free site survey.

Can you install on sloped or uneven ground?

Yes — ground screws are ideal for sloped and uneven ground, which is common across Cornwall. They can be installed at varying depths to create a perfectly level platform regardless of terrain. This is one of their biggest advantages over traditional concrete.

Can you supply the garden building as well?

Yes. We offer a full supply and build service — we source sheds, summerhouses, garden rooms, timber studios, and log cabins at trade prices, then deliver and professionally assemble them on your new base.

How long does garden building assembly take?

Assembly time depends on size and complexity. A standard shed takes half a day. A summerhouse or log cabin typically takes 1–2 days. A timber garden studio may take 2–3 days. We'll give you a clear timeline in your quote.

Do you cover all of Cornwall?

Yes — we cover all of Cornwall including Truro, Falmouth, Newquay, St Austell, Penzance, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Helston, Camborne, and Redruth. If you're unsure, give Oliver a call on 07706 938211 or send a WhatsApp.
