Why a Proper Concrete Base Matters
Precision Levelling
A level, flat concrete base is essential for any structure. We use laser levels and screeding techniques to achieve a precise, even finish every time.
Durable Construction
Our concrete bases are built on a properly compacted sub-base with the correct concrete specification, ensuring long-term strength and resistance to cracking.
All Applications
From small shed bases to large reinforced garage slabs and commercial floor slabs, we design and build concrete bases for every application.
Our Concrete Base Process
01
Ground Preparation
We excavate to the required depth, remove soft spots, and construct a compacted hardcore sub-base to provide a stable foundation for the concrete.
02
Formwork & Reinforcement
Timber formwork is set to define the slab edges and levels. Steel mesh or rebar reinforcement is added where specified by the design.
03
Concrete Pour
Concrete is poured to the correct specification and depth. We screed and level the surface to achieve a smooth, even finish across the full slab.
04
Finishing & Curing
The slab is finished with a float or power trowel as required. We protect the concrete during the curing period to ensure maximum strength.

Concrete Slab & Base Services in Greater Manchester
At JRPS Group Trading, we provide professional concrete slab and base construction services for domestic and commercial properties across Greater Manchester and the North West. Whether you need a small shed base or a large reinforced garage slab, we deliver precision-levelled, durable concrete bases built to last.
Shed Bases
We construct solid, level concrete shed bases in all sizes. A proper concrete base protects your shed from moisture, prevents sinking, and provides a stable, long-lasting platform. We excavate, lay a compacted sub-base, and pour a concrete slab to the exact dimensions of your shed.
Garage Bases
Garage bases require a thicker, reinforced concrete slab to support the weight of vehicles and the garage structure. We build garage bases to the correct specification with steel mesh reinforcement, proper depth, and a smooth finish suitable for garage floors.
Concrete Slabs
We pour concrete slabs for a wide range of applications including hot tub bases, patio areas, workshop floors, and hard standings. Every slab is built on a compacted sub-base with the correct concrete mix for the intended use.
Reinforced Bases
For heavier loads and commercial applications, we construct reinforced concrete bases using steel mesh or rebar. Reinforced bases are essential for industrial units, storage areas, and any application where the slab will bear significant weight or vehicle traffic.
Areas We Cover
We provide concrete slab and base services across Stockport, Manchester, and the wider Greater Manchester region.
Frequently Asked Questions
A standard shed base is typically 75–100mm thick. Garage bases and reinforced slabs are usually 100–150mm thick. We recommend the correct thickness based on the intended use and load requirements.
In most cases, small domestic slabs such as shed bases and patios do not require planning permission. Larger slabs or those in sensitive areas may require approval — we can advise during the quotation stage.
Concrete reaches initial set within 24–48 hours and is typically strong enough to build on after 3–7 days. Full strength is reached at 28 days.
Not always. Small shed bases may not require reinforcement, but garage bases, driveways, and commercial slabs are reinforced with steel mesh or rebar as standard.
Yes, we can pour concrete in cold weather using frost protection measures. We monitor conditions and take precautions to ensure the concrete cures properly.
