    Hello there. I recently got a Shed built out the back garden. The company that I bought it from aslo done the concrete plinth. However there is a big hole in the plinth and I am wondering if this can be fixed? And what needs to be done in order to fix it. I have been on to the company in question and despit promising that they would be out to fix it, after 7 weeks they still have not called back.

    I hope someone can point me in the right direction on what needs to happen here to fix this. It is my hope that they will be out next week..

    hey there,just looking at the pics it seems that they have just put the bare amount of concrete in and looks like sand then plastic but the pics are bad so i cant see all.if i was u i would go around all the floor base and hit it with a hammer if its a solid floor u are grand,but if theres a hollow sound u know u have a issuse then.they shound be a solid ground base ,then 804 stone 4 inches to 6 inches and then whacked with whacker plate,then cover with fine sand,lay youre plastic and then a base of concrete 4 to 6 inches.

    to fix youre problom u showed u would need to mix a strong mix of cement and sand ratio 2to1 and plaster it up .
