What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Barras Garden Shed Company has earned a strong local following in Glasgow for fencing, sheds, workshops and summerhouses, and the recurring theme across feedback is how quickly work is completed without any loss of finish. A handful of customers describe substantial fencing runs put up in a single morning by a crew of five or six, with one nine-teen-metre boundary finished exactly to the agreed specification. William is named frequently: he is credited with offering clear guidance on shed types, quality and cost, drawing up a bespoke plan and forwarding it the same evening, and steering one customer towards a larger workshop when a garage turned out to be the wrong choice.

His name also recurs in accounts of summerhouse purchases, where the building is described as well insulated and precisely put together. One thing mentioned again and again is the handling of scheduling, with delivery dates moved and a cancellation passed on at short notice. The installers themselves are repeatedly called punctual, courteous and tidy, taking away old fencing and leaving rubble stacked neatly. Reviewers also highlight fair quotes for fencing and gates, and the patience shown when personal circumstances shifted mid-project.

Arranged to visit Barras Garden Sheds after a recomendation from a relative and it was well worth the visit. William gave us sound advice, explained the different types of sheds and differences in quality and price. We wanted something a bit different, William designed and sent over the plan that evening. Deposit paid, and delivery date scheduled, no hassle. Installation was included in price and the team that erected the shed were excellent. Delighted with my shed, and price paid, would definetely recommend you speak to William if looking for a quality shed at a good price.

William's men arrived exactly when they said they would, fitted a beautiful 6ft fence all round my back garden, took the old fence away and cleared everything up after themselves. They are so helpful and courteous. Nothing was any bother for them and my back garden is now at beautiful haven. I would use Barras sheds again and highly recommend him

Messaged for a quote after my fence came down in the storm. We were desperately needing a new fence immediately to ensure the safety of our dog. Quote was quick and best quote around. Contact was easy and when a cancellation came up we were offered first refusal meaning the work took place 24 hours before we were originally booked in. Guys that came worked quick, efficiently and cleaned up after themselves. Very polite and friendly. Fence is solid and will probably outlive me and the fresh smell of the wood is unreal. Thank you for everything guys. You previously did the fence between ourselves and our neighbour and now our outside fence too. So pleased we came back to the best team ever!! Definently HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Very solid 19 metre fence done exactly to my specifications in 2 hours by a team of 5 or 6 men. Neighbour was delighted as well. Good price too. I doubt I could've purchased the wood for what it cost.

I have been using Jim Steph and their excellent group of boys for many many years i started with a shed then garden fencing followed by artificial grass another shed and yesterday they came and fitted a triple cover for my council bins. I have had many companies since moving into my home 60years ago and have never,ever had

Would give this company zero stars. So bad in every area. Started with an initial enquiry seeking a top quality 8x6 pent shed and initially a gentleman called William replied (albeit slowly) advising they could help with this. Over course of a few weeks due to slow communications agreed for a base to be fitted today, this was agreed in March. William stating the shed would follow a week later. I repeatedly asked about leaving deposits etc. and was advised he would arrange everything and I would be contacted about deposit etc. Since end of March it's been radio silence. Emails are not replied to, the phone doesn't get answered and messages not replied to. I have visited the show room twice but shuttered both times. I am now assuming I will not be getting my shed or base. A simple explanation of any problem would have been fine and I could have moved on to a different company but I now feel Barras shed company has wasted 3 months of my life waiting for a shed that I could have gotten elsewhere if they had let me know. STAY WELL CLEAR
