About the company

Solid Sheds has almost 40 years of experience in the manufacture of timber products. It operates branches in the Midlands and the North West and is part of Skinners Sheds, described as the largest timber building manufacturer in the South East. The company manufactures its sheds by hand in a purpose-built factory. It uses pressure-treated redwood timber in its buildings and stainless steel nails on all of its wall panels. Its panels have diagonal bracing for extra strength and durability.

Its floors are made of floor joists and floor beams with 3-inch clearance for air flow. It sources all timber from well-managed, legal and non-controversial sources carrying recognised certification. It has over 300 buildings on display across its show sites. Its products include apex sheds, pent sheds, garden office sheds, summer houses, greenhouses, potting sheds, wooden wendy houses, log stores and garden workshops. It offers a free site survey.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Solid Sheds, based in Skelmersdale, supplies and installs garden buildings ranging from workshops and traditional sheds to summer houses and garden rooms. A handful of customers describe a consistent experience from the first sales conversation through to delivery and erection, with questions answered clearly at garden centre show sites. More than one review highlights the fitters and delivery teams by name – Alan, Chris, Karl, Tom and Jiri all receive praise for being efficient, polite and skilled, with work completed despite poor weather and a summer house built without disturbing the household.

A theme running through the feedback is the tidiness of the site afterwards, with one installation navigating a large wall section through an adjoining boundary and leaving no mess behind. Kirsten, Julie, Shelley and Ray are singled out for helpful advice, including site visits before purchase, while customers describe the workshop and garden room ranges as sturdy, well built and easy to assemble. One repeat buyer returned after eight years for a second product, and the recurring theme is a process handled expertly from order through to completion, with installation teams arriving on schedule and working quickly.

Arrived on time and were professional throughout the build. Overcame a blocking problem and via the adjoining boundary fence managed to navigate a large wall section to the site. Quickly built the summer house without bothering us till completion.

First off I need to say that everyone I dealt with at Solid Sheds was lovely and helpful and professional. But unfortunately a sub-standard product let them down. I bought a corner summerhouse in November and from day 1 it leaked from a number of places: roof, corner meeting points, windows, doors and nail-holes (even after 3 coats of the recommended paint). The team came out on a number of occasions (and like I say were very helpful and keen to sort the problem) but the building just continued to leak, despite them replacing the roof and a side panel. My gut feeling is that we had an inferior run from the factory - the nail holes were too deep, the joints were perhaps not sealed well enough, the boards were perhaps warped etc etc. After putting up with this for 2 months, I decided enough was enough and asked for a refund. To be fair, there was no quibbling and the building was collected and my refund was processed. I was really disappointed as the team / staff all seem lovely (and I really wanted a dry summerhouse!) My other disappointment was that nobody said sorry - well, on the collection day one of the installation team did say sorry, which was nice, but nobody "higher up" (production manager, customer services manager, etc) did, which I think is a bit poor, to be honest. So, in summary, lovely people but a very leaky product.

Bought a shed from these last May. Ex display. Fitted by them, new roofing felt was supplied at times of fitting by them. Now the roof is leaking. Pent roof. Rang to be told it's condensation to leave door open even though shed has a vent built in but clearly its leaking this isnt condensation. Was advised call out fee is £100 to inspect it. No after service. Disappointing. Paid a lot of money for it did not expect roof to fail within 8 months. Will rectify ourselves. So no I can't recommend this company.
