What it costs
Metal garage prices, with nothing hidden
A configurable VeltHaven steel garage costs from £9,995 fully installed, with an insulated automatic sectional door. Delivered and installed on a standard site. The base is quoted separately. The base is priced separately: a guide price from your photos, then a firm quote after our contractor's site visit. We price the electrical connection from the photos you send, before you pay your balance.

Groundwork
Site preparation, quoted transparently
Complete foundations and groundworks: a guide price from your photos, then a firm quote after our contractor's site visit — never bundled into the headline price.
In a steel garage the slab is the floor. You park on it, work on it, and if you add Showroom Finish the resin goes straight onto it — so it is the finished surface, not groundwork to get out of the way.
It also carries vehicles. A slab that is too thin cracks within a few years under repeated vehicle loads. Our default for cars and storage is a 125 mm (100 mm absolute minimum) C25/30 slab with A142 mesh; for a double door, SUV or VAN height, 4x4s or vans it is 150 mm C30/37 with A193 mesh — over compacted MOT Type 1, and confirmed for your ground.
VeltHaven Foundation Management is a paid extra: a fully managed slab to our specification. We review your site and put a vetted contractor on it. Send us photos of the spot and we'll give you a guide price for the base. Once your deposit is paid, our contractor visits and gives you a firm quote before your balance is due. You can accept it, or lay your own base to our specification. The ranges below are for the other two routes — preparing the base yourself, or bringing in your own groundworker.
| 4×6 | 5×6 | 6×6 | 7×6 | 9×6 |
|---|
| £1,900–£3,600 | £2,400–£4,500 | £2,900–£5,400 | £3,400–£6,300 | £4,300–£8,100 |
Typical UK cost of a standard slab built by your own groundworker, excluding VAT. Add VAT if your contractor is VAT-registered.
The concrete slab is the structural base for the building. The optional Showroom Finish applies a professional resin floor over that slab after construction.
Your building is installed on a level, load-bearing base of the correct size. Providing that base is your responsibility and it is not included in the price. You can prepare it yourself, use your own contractor, or have VeltHaven Foundation Management design and build it for you: a guide price from your photos, then a firm quote after our contractor's site visit.
As a guide, Foundation Management, our fully managed service, costs from £5,495 to £8,695 for a garage base for cars and storage (125 mm slab) and from £5,095 to £6,295 for a garden-room base, depending on size, ground conditions, levels and access. A standard slab built by your own groundworker typically costs £1,900–£8,100 excluding VAT for our garage sizes. Add VAT if your contractor is VAT-registered.
