It is essential that your building is positioned on a flat, solid and stable base, in order to bear the substantial weight and allow doors and windows to hang correctly and open smoothly.
The base should always be the same size as the footprint of the building, making a base larger than your building is not recommended, this increases the risk of water ingress.
What type of concrete do we recommend?
C20/Gen 3 or C25 are the most suitable types of ready mixed concrete for sheds, log cabins and garden offices. Higher strength concrete and reinforcement may be required for larger structures and therefore mix strengths should always be checked with your builder or building supplier.

Guide to laying concrete for garden buildings
We’ve also written a handy guide to laying concrete for garden buildings that’s worth checking out before you start, if laying the concrete yourself.
We booked both concrete and pump Lorries with close liaison as access was via a very narrow lane. Despite being late (held up on the previous job) they kept us informed.
We specified a 6 wheeler but circumstances meant only an 8 wheeler was available. The driver was very good and got it on to the site.
Both the chaps were very professional, helpful, polite and friendly which made the whole task go very smoothly.
We would recommend their services as communication was good, all our questions were answered promptly and the staff are really great.

Hi I’ve used Mc Hugh on a few jobs and they came for a concrete pour this morning. Two guys on time , no dramas and a great professional job . Thank you guys totally recommend
Great, friendly and relaxed service .... recommended
First time using McHugh Concrete and I was impressed with everything end to end.
I was having some steels + pillars installed to move around some internal walls, and I'd gone out to 4 different companies for a quote to have 4m3 inc waterproof additive pumped into some pad footings.
Being a first time home renovator I had a lot of questions but Paul was polite, patient and incredibly helpful from the outset. He explained everything in plain English without being condescending, and was the reason we ended up booking McHugh as the other quotes we got back were all pretty much the same.
The 2 Lukes who turned up (perfectly on time) to mix and pump the concrete were also super friendly, and they tidied up everything so well afterwards it was like they'd never been there...
Will absolutely use them again - 100% recommend!

Excellent first class company. Paul@Southwick was super helpful on the phone and always called back to check everything was OK. Deliveries bang on time and the drivers were patient and helpful whilst we raked in 13 cu.m of C30. Invoicing and payment process was no fuss too. I would highly recommend the McHugh concrete.
I have been in the construction industry for over 60 years this was the first time I used McHugh. , the service and delivery was second to none the operators on the mixer and the pump were first class and couldn't have been more helpful if they tried, the whole experience was a breath of fresh air no hiccups no worries, I would not hesitate to recommend this company to everyone who needs concrete and an excellent service and best of all at a very affordable price. Well done to make McHugh in the team. Almost definitely be doing business with them in the future well done again
We recently used McHugh Concrete for a mixed on-site concrete pour for our extension footings, including a pump, and we couldn’t be happier with the service. A huge thank you to Paul for making the whole process seamless—especially as this was our first extension project. Communication was efficient from start to finish, and the pricing was excellent.
The delivery and pump teams were incredibly helpful, polite, and professional. We were especially grateful for the care taken on-site; everything was left clean, tidy, and completely spotless on our property and the street.
We’re extremely pleased with the entire experience and would definitely recommend McHugh Concrete to anyone needing reliable and high-quality concrete services.

Fantastic job this morning, 2 cubic metres of concrete pumped into back garden for shed base. Great service by the 2 guys operating the equipment (both called Luke) who also assisted with making sure everything was level. Cleaned down afterwards and you couldn’t tell they had even been there!
Highly recommended this company.

I have just had a great experience with this firm who delivered a first class service and I would highly recommend. I had ordered 1.6m of concrete that needed pumping to the bottom of my garden.
They turned up on site when they said they would and the drivers of both mixer and pump were very professional and courteous and finished within two hours, leaving the site very clean and tidy.

From my first enquiry handled by Paul, I had great efficient service, through to the point of delivery with Luke handling the pump. Professional, on time and really friendly too. I would highly recommend the concrete and pump service to other builders.
Great service and wonderfully helpful team, quick, efficient, friendly & a fair price too, huge thanks 🙂

I ordered 15m3 of concrete, the company kept to dates and times nice guys to deal with, very professional service.
Had a delivery of concrete pumped on Monday morning. Both drivers very friendly and helpful. Good price. Highly reccomended.
I have used McHugh a few times for my house build, 2 slabs, and ICF walls the whole team have been very professional and helpful with each concrete supply.
Had a concrete with pump delivery on Friday. First class. Operatives were friendly and extremely competent. After their delivery they left the place spotless.
Excellent company to deal with. Called to get an estimate, the lines were busy but the automated messaging said that the company had my number and a representative would call back which they did within half an hour. Rob and Jackie whom I dealt with were very helpful and professional. The concrete prices and pump hire were very reasonable. The day of delivery the truck and pump turned up on time and the operators were very efficient, helpful and professional. Excellent all round service and McHugh’s will definitely be coming back for phase 2.

Great service from the Mchugh team, friendly helpful guys and really competitive prices
McHugh Concrete provided an amazing level of support for a domestic garden project with some access issues (distance from public road). The office-based support was excellent with clear descriptions of the capabilities of the delivery fleet and what I needed to do. The quotes were very clear and very competitive. On the day, the delivery team were superb, on time, friendly and with a professional work ethic that not only got the job done but provided a novice DIYer with additional advice and comments for the project based on their experience. I’d like to commend the whole team, including Charlie in the pump truck and Rhys the linesman, for an exceptional service and one that I have no reservation at all in recommending to others. Thank you all and your concrete looks amazing!
Great office, lovely people
Response from the owner:Thank you Theo, for your generous words. Looking forward to working with you in the future. Claire
Recently used McHugh for concrete pumped foundations at my property. Of the three companies I received quotes from McHugh was both the most professional and cheapest. I received a written quote in good time that was clear and well presented. Being a DIY project I had a few questions through my lack of experience. My phone calls into the office were answered immediately and all questions answered. Leading up to the pour I was kept well informed and provided with documentation as to what was required from me. Pump operators Tom and Marcus arrived in good time and couldn’t have been more helpful. Both were very knowledgeable and experienced, even giving me some tips for the next stage of my project. Unfortunately I didn’t catch the office staff and truck driver’s names but all involved ensured a seamless operation from start to finish. Will definitely be calling them back when it’s time to pour the slab!
Response from the owner:Hi Richard, Thankyou so much for your generous words, they are much appreciated. I will let the team know about your comments. Many Thanks, Claire, Rob & Sean.
Excellent service from the phone call to the delivery. Not only the cheapest, you pay for what you use . If you're looking to get the muck in the ground then the pump team is the way yo go . Iam not bothering to call anyone else. Its McHugh all the way..
Response from the owner:Oh that's made our day, what a great review. Thanks Hayden from everyone at McHugh's
Top service from estimating off the drawings to keeping you updated on every step of the way. Great new volumetric trucks and pump kept the house and road clean while pumping through. Very professional service and highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for such a great review and so glad we impressed! From all the McHugh Concrete team
We have used many different companies in the past and to be honest not all of them had have been as straight forward to work with as this guys. Absolutely brilliant can not fault them from the price to agonising the ground pump. Fab service all round. I don’t think five stars is good enough. After that poring rain yet they went a head with the job and got it done with out complaining once. Amazing service, We didn’t have to make up an excuse for my clients at all. We got the job done. We will defiantly use them again. Thank for a great job last Friday.

Having called every concrete supplier in Sussex McHugh Concrete were not only the cheapest in terms of the concrete and in terms of the ground pump system, but they were the most personable and helpful firm to deal with. The day before delivery the pump driver made a site visit to fully understand the job and ensure we knew what to expect. They arrived early on the day of delivery and worked tirelessly to get the job done and cleaned up in good time. Buy with confidence.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your great review! The McHugh Concrete team
Excellent service. Even turned up before time, very unusual for concrete. Great delivery system.
Response from the owner:Thank you Patrick for taking the time to send a great review. Many Thanks, Sean
I have worked with McHugh Concrete on a number of projects with each one being serviced as promised. Overall a great service providing quality concrete with no waste or part load charges!
Very pleased with the service provided by McHugh Concrete. Called early morning to book in concrete and a pump for foundations, they arrived hours later. They not only arrived quickly and gave me the exact amount of concrete I wanted, they were also very friendly and worked well with my builders.
