Dead Shed Joinery
What customers say
Families and individuals commissioning bespoke garden buildings from a single craftsman, James, form the bulk of the feedback for Dead Shed Joinery, based at the Oldbeck Road business park in Beverley. Projects range from insulated summer houses and pottery studios to garden bars, beach huts and corner sheds, with several customers noting that designs were adapted to fit awkward spaces or unusual requirements without added fuss. The building process is often described as thorough, starting with measuring up and design discussion before construction, sometimes prebuilt in the workshop and then reassembled on site within a day. Craftsmanship and finish are mentioned time and again, with customers calling the standard of joinery excellent and the final results exceeding expectations. Coordination with electricians during fit-out is noted in at least one project, as is the incorporation of decking around existing garden features such as trees. Pricing is described as reasonable given the quality of materials and the level of expertise involved. Many reviewers say they returned to James after previous positive experiences or came via personal recommendation. The consistent thread across these projects is bespoke, hands-on craftsmanship tailored closely to each garden and each family's needs.

I used James many years ago and knew he was the only choice locally to make me a bespoke quality shed. He took all our requirements into consideration, measured up, and made a couple of suggestions. The shed was prebuilt in his workshop then reassembled at ours in a day. Very happy with the quality and finish. Highly recommended 👌
James has created a perfect little beach hut for me. Wonderful craftsmanship. Just what I wanted. He also replaced some fencing and has taken the old one away. Thank you James I will certainly be recommending you to my friends and family.
Recently ordered a shed from James after meeting him & discussing what we wanted. He arrived yesterday & built the shed, wow!, it was far better than we had hoped, every aspect of it had been thought out & made superbly. If you want a good shed that's well made talk to James. We cannot praise his workmanship enough on here. THANKYOU James.
James custom built the summerhouse we specified. The quality was first class , we can use it all year round and it is built to last. We are delighted with our summerhouse and James has been great throughout the process. Thank you !
James built us a quality garden shed, and fitted it on what was a very cold November day!! Thank you very much for your help and guidance, Quality workmanship and would highly recommend
I’d love to be able to offer a good review but unfortunately my enquiry failed at the first hurdle after sending an email enquiry with no reply or acknowledgment after a week. If the email has not been seen then don’t offer email as a contact and if too busy then a reply saying so is all that is needed. Shame.
James has done some amazing work for us this year, we highly recommend him! He built us a beautiful fully insulated custom summer house/pottery studio down the garden, complete with decking out front which he fitted around our existing tree. It has settled into our garden perfectly, nestled in amongst the trees, and is an absolute dream to work in and enjoy as a family on the weekends. Recently James fitted a stable door to our wood shed and fixed up our yard gate too, everything finished to a brilliant standard- he’s a true craftsman. Thanks James!
