I've not looked much into the cost of pouring concrete, but makes sense for check-trade guide prices to be for a the labour as well. Thanks. Good to know it won't cost too much in a worst case scenario!

I've seen those. There was a time I was even thinking of enclosing it all with bricks or better shuttering. Get a masonary hole saw bit and SDS drill and drill 3 holes from the inside and fill with concrete. @Ivor I just google cost of concrete filling and check-a-trade gave out £150 a square...

I guess it's not so off level to effect anything I will do in it, may be able to adjust for it with flooring. I'm told it's all held together with 4 bolts and these log cabins are sort of T&G lego. Trouble is it's a 27 m^2 workshop. If a concrete base is £150 a square meter, that's £4000...

Thanks. Seems reasonable. I'll probably need to adjust my plan all depending on what happens when I remove some of the shuttering to allow for all this to be done. As an alternative, what do you think about EasyPAD adjutsable footings...

That's indeed a smart use of those slabs. So at 50mm away from the concrete slab, that's enough room to shovel in wet concrete mix between to prevent the rest of the hardcore to crumble away, and hopefully give some support to the edges? I think those slabs are around the right size to do that...

Thanks, I feel the urge to try to at least support the front overhang, as we want to build a decking up to it, so the new footing could be dual purpose for the decking too.

More or less as described? Photos below

Hello, I moved into a house that has an end of garden workshop with a foundation that looked dodgy and had various tradesmen comment on the need to fix it before moving any workshop tools into the workshop. It's on a slight slope and the shuttering for the concrete slab has not held up during...

I'll not be working on anything powered. Just sourcing materials and placing metal clad sockets and trunking in it's place, for the elctrican to do the connections.

Yup, got that. Just edited post.

Hello, I have a detached log cabin at the end of the garden to become a DIY workshop, with main tool being a DIY CNC, along with most tyical power tools you can think off (circ. saw, mitre saw, planar etc). I want to future proof it for when I can afford other higher amperage tools like a table...
