What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Bespoke timber structures, from garden offices and cabins through to replacement sheds, form the core of this Sonning Common workshop's output, and the standard of the finished result is a theme running through the feedback. Adam is named time and again as an approachable, patient contact who steered customers from the first enquiry through design and installation, talking them through each element and adapting dimensions or specifications without fuss.

Reviewers often describe the process as well organised and efficient, with old structures taken apart and removed alongside the assembly of the new one at the times advised. Craftsmanship and care over detail recur, whether the job involved straightening a leaning shed using clever carpentry, building a cabin to suit a particular garden space, or finishing an office to a high specification.

An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the fairness of the quotes and the value delivered, alongside clear communication before and during the work and crews who were courteous, diligent and left the site neat. Water ingress through the roofing felt of an office fitted years earlier was dealt with promptly after a call, with records traced and the matter put right. The range of options and the willingness to build to individual requirements also recur, with nothing seeming too much trouble from first drawing to handover.

We couldn't be happier with the service and end product. We were struggling to find the right shed to fit all of our requirements. Now we have a fantastic new shed built to spec, delivered in good time and assembled really quickly. Communication throughout the process was great and Adam and the team were brilliant - professional and friendly.

Adam gave us a very reasonable quote to fix our leaning shed. He also indicated on the quote and invoice that had he not been able to fix then there would be absolutely no cost to us despite their travel cost etc. He literally worked the solution with some clever carpentry. He made it look so easy and was finished inside an hour Very very happy with his efficiency and his friendly professional conduct

We have recently had a home office installed by Kidbys. Adam was very helpful and friendly. We are very pleased with the building. Adam’s team were very polite and answered any queries promptly. We would highly recommend Kidbys.

I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. I had a lovely garden office installed by them (in a previous guise of the company) 4 years ago. Last week I found that there had been quite a major leak from the felt roof. I called them up on Wednesday around 11am more out of hope than expectation. I was told the company had changed hands and they might not have my records, but to fill out an online form and they would check. Around 11.30 I was called back to ask if we were at home during the day (we both work from home). At 1.30pm I had a call to say they were in the area could they pop in to check the damage. At 1.50pm Adam (who did the original installation) and a colleague turned up. He said they had brought a replacement rubber roof with them (normally 15 year guarantee and 50 year expected lifetime) explaining they didn't use felt anymore for precisely the issues I had experienced. By 3pm the office was watertight with a brand new roof and I had a huge smile on my face. The price? Nothing. I didn't know this kind of service exists, but I want you all to know that you are completely safe in the hands of these guys. Please use them, they deserve your business.

Adam was so helpful throughout - he supported us build a bespoke cabin to suit our garden space and fit our requirements & budget. Not only that but from design to install took just 4 weeks. We are so pleased with the finished product and can’t wait to start using it! Thanks Adam!

We’ve worked alongside Kidby on several projects, and it’s always a great experience. Their outbuilding installations are finished to a really high standard, and everything is well organised and efficient from start to finish. We handle all the electrical work for their builds, and it’s clear they take real pride in their craftsmanship and attention to detail. Always professional, reliable, and great to work with highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality outbuilding construction. MM Electrical Contractors

I can't speak highly enough of Adam and the guys at Kidbys. They were at my house just after 7am and by 2:30pm that afternoon I had a new arctic bbq cabin (now called Hobbiton) sitting beautifully in my garden just next to the apple trees. The lads were respectful, polite, hard working and very tidy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kidbys to anyone. Thank You So Much Guys. You made my Birthday.
