Highly recommend Carr’s. from my first discussions with Kristina on what we wanted she was very thorough and talked through all options. She also kept us updated with the delivery date. On the day of delivery… the guys turned up promptly and began erecting the cabin, very professional and clearly know what they are doing. The cabin itself is superb quality and I absolutely love it! I love spending time in here!

The biggest thank you possible! From the moment my dad walked into the Southend Branch & ordered his workshop we’ve had the most amazing service. Courtesy calls, any questions answered. Tony & Nick arrived at… 1pm, gone by 2pm. The most amazing guys, who didn’t mind my dad staring at them the whole time. An amazing price and one very happy Father! Thank you so much, it’s the space he needs now he’s medically retired!

Big shout out for this company - delighted with my bespoke shed ordered 18 months ago - so well made and Wickford site very helpful when choosing - my friend went onto order one too as so impressed with… quality and service. My door needed a bit of adjusting caused by bad winter. Gary attended within 2 days of calling and sorted. Three Cheers for Gary. Laraine Watson Hockley

Just had our loglap Windsor model delivered this week. We had it made to our own requirements. We found this company to be extremely helpful and it was great to deal with someone (Joe) who fully understood what we needed with minimum explanation. The guys who installed it worked really efficiently and arrived spot on time. The whole process was totally stress free. It's great to order something which is handmade locally. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to others. Many thanks

We have just had a 14ft super log cabin put up in our garden and the service we received from Carr's was excellent from initial contact right through to the cabin being put up. The customer service provided was fantastic and the workmen were very reliable and hardworking. The quality of wood was also exceptional! Will definitely recommend and will be using Carr's again for our next project! Many thanks again, Jordan Stokes

Absolutely amazing customer service. Had a summerhouse built to fit into my gazebo to make it look like one building. I have them the measurements of the gazebo and space which was left and they made a summerhouse to fit into the exact space and made the whole roof look like one.
Cannot fault, on time, clean and very very reliable.
Thank you all the staff at Carr Garden Buildings :)

She is really pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of the shed and the professional service she received.
She would like to thank all the staff for a good job done,especially the installers who had a few obstacles to get over
Would highly recommend.

Great company. Found them online and had a bespoke shed made to fit the odd shape at the side of our house. Great experience from beginning to end with excellent communication and detailed design. This is not your 'run-of-the-mill' outfit....... Professional service and installation promised and delivered!
Thank you
Thank you

I can only speak as I find; the shed supplied is as requested, its straight and true and exactly as I specified (I went for a reverse apex which is not a standard workmaster finish).
It turned up when promised, was installed without issue, the fitters were done and dusted in around 90 minutes and were polite throughout.
The shed is made locally and employs local people so I'm happy with everything and would recommend.

Absolutely delighted with our Carr Timber Shed. Really can't say enough good things about this company, totally bespoke building. No amount of our changes and requests during the order process was too much trouble for them, and cannot praise them highly enough. Not big on reviews normally, but felt we ought to add this after reading totally crummy and unfair 1star previous post about a wonky door, just so not our experience of them and felt they need a more balanced review.
Great knowledgeable staff, really genuinely pleased to work with a proper British manufacturing company who care about their

I ordered a shed through this company on 27 July and the whole experience was terrible. This company has the worst customer service of any company I have ever used. My reasons for saying this are - we had to wait 8 weeks for our shed - when it did arrive it was wonky so the door wouldn't shut - it took a further three weeks to get this rectified - they fitted another wonky door - finally after 3 months they took the shed away and gave us a refund. They refused to pay us back for the money we had spent painting both the inside and outside of the shed (despite them telling us to do this). At no point
