What is DuraBase and Why Have We Chosen It?
Our DuraBase conservatory base system represents the latest innovation in the foundations of a conservatory. Unlike traditional concrete footings that require extensive excavation and longer installation times, this steel base system provides superior structural support while minimising disruption to your property. We've made it our exclusive foundation choice because it offers exceptional stability, meets strict building regulations, and provides significant cost savings for our customers across Hampshire and West Sussex.
Get in touchLightning-Fast Installation Times
Traditional conservatory foundations often require weeks of building work, with concrete needing extensive drying time. Our DuraBase system can be installed in just one day, regardless of ground conditions or the type of soil. The steel base arrives ready to install, eliminating the need for deep foundations or extensive groundwork that typically comes with a concrete slab approach.

The conservatory base system works perfectly on various ground levels, requiring only strategic concrete pad foundations.
