What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Skinners Sheds has built a following among households that return for additional buildings, with the ordering and installation process described as trouble-free and efficient. Customers who inspect the display site, where sheds, summerhouses and log cabins stand ready to be viewed, often say this helped them judge quality before committing. A recurring theme is the patient, informative advice offered by the sales team, with Sam singled out for his helpfulness during ordering and the follow-up afterwards.

Erection crews are described as quick, capable and tidy, working through poor weather and accommodating changes without fuss. Reviewers frequently point to that delivery and construction take place on the agreed date, that bases are prepared to a sound standard and that the finished structures feel solid and well made.

The inclusion of delivery and installation in the quoted price is noted as removing extra concern. Courteous and communicative conduct from first enquiry to completed workshop or pent shed comes up often, one customer remarking that a return visit two years after an initial enquiry was met without pressure to buy. What reviewers value most is the quality of the completed sheds, summerhouses and log cabins, together with the skill of the teams that erect them.

I had toyed with the idea of building my own shed from scratch, or buying one cheaper from the internet, but decided in the end to go with Skinners. It's great to go around their 'show room' to see the quality of what you're buying. The sales staff are nice and explain everything, give you things to think about etc. No pressure to buy (I actually first enquired in 2022 and came back 2 years later). I had the pent shed raised by two boards, double doors and a wooden base. The process was great throughout. Install team worked hard on a hot day. The shed is very sturdy and I think well worth the money for the complete service with no hassle. I painted it myself, the colour as supplied is different to the photo.

I had previously had a Skinners shed and been very pleased with it. I recently reviewed new Skinners sheds at a local garden centre and decided on what I needed. The agent was most helpful and we agreed a contract. I had made a strong , level base for the shed in my garden and the shed arrived on the agreed day. The erection team were quick and efficient and ready with advice. I have since coated the outside with the supplied preservative and it all looks great. I am delighted with my new shed. Many thanks, Skinners.

Our shed and it's base were supplied on the scheduled dates to the promised specification and were satisfactory on all respects. The Skinners installation teams were very capable, friendly and accommodating, nothing fazed them. Well done Skinners in all respects.

We are delighted with our new Skinners shed. The whole process, from ordering to delivery was trouble-free and efficient, and all the personnel involved unfailingly courteous and communicative. Special mention for Sam (Chichester Branch) who handled our order and was so helpful throughout.

We always use Skinners Sheds for our garden buildings, we now have 3 of them! Latest was a 10x8 pent shed for extra storage, very easy to deal with, price included delivery and installation so nothing extra to worry about. The shed arrived on the day it was expected and was built by 2 very polite guys. Couldn't recommend more.

Very happy with the choices available and the service offered. Chose a lovely Summerhouse which was delivered and erected when we asked for it and promptly. The Summerhouse is perfect and seems to be very well made. We found the price reasonable and the paint colours offered were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend them highly.

Purchased a new shed from this company, and the service from start to finish was outstanding. The initial phone call with Sam who was very helpful, and explained everything you needed to know about what would happen after you ordered. The quality and the installation went perfectly. Really pleased with how it looks.
