WHAT IS DURABASE?

THE SYSTEM

A tried and tested modern alternative to the old style building techniques. Durabase floor and walling systems provide a fast and efficient way to build without the amount of mess and disruption caused by traditional builds.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Durabase insulated steel bases speed up groundwork as you don’t need to dig large footings, reducing waste and mess on site. Every Durabase base is used with either concrete pads or ground screws and can be combined with the Durabase modular walls for a fast and efficient build.

THE BEST PART?

Everything is delivered in kit form, ready to assemble so no large amounts of concrete, bricks or building equipment are required unlike with traditional methods!

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE.

QUALITY. OVER EVERYTHING.

Durabase is the trading name of Wye Valley Engineering, a proud family business established in 1976. The Durabase system was developed in 1986 to meet the needs of the fast-growing conservatory market. Since then, continual innovation has expanded the Durabase range to include a fully compliant base and wall system, suitable for ground floor single storey home extensions built to full building-regulation standards.

Designed for flexibility and ease of use, the Durabase system is compatible with all major door, window and roofing systems. It is also compatible with SIP and timber frame walling.

Quality is at the heart of everything we do. From our purpose-built manufacturing facility in Hereford, we fabricate the Durabase base and modular wall system with precision and consistency.

In today’s market, where skilled trades are harder to source, waste disposal costs are rising, and homeowners expect fast, low-disruption solutions – Durabase offers a smarter way to build.

Our bespoke, off-site manufactured steel-framed foundation and modular wall systems enable quick, clean, and efficient installation, even in tight or restricted access locations such as terraced properties.

Each customised Durabase kit is delivered to site in a single drop and can typically be installed in less than a day. This helps ensure projects remain easy to schedule, simple to manage, and far less prone to costly delays.

WHY CHOOSE DURABASE?

QUICK

Our foundation base construction, allows any conservatory or ground floor single storey home extension to be built quickly and easily on concrete pads or ground screws.

Once a steel frame base has been installed, real brick modular walls can be put together in a matter of hours. Durabase can also be used with glazed walls or other lightweight SIP / Timber wall systems.

EASY

The pre-fabricated steel frames, concrete pads and ground screws require
minimal excavation, making the installation easy and less messy than traditional brick foundations.

Uneven or sloping sites and difficult site access are easily overcome with Durabase.

CLEAN

Durabase arrives in kit form and the only foundations required are a number of concrete pads or ground screws placed at strategic points around the base. This means far less excavation work and waste material to dispose of compared to other methods.

CHEAPER

The use of expensive plant machinery and skips is often reduced greatly or not required at all. Potentially avoid the need for expensive relocating of manholes or drains.
