What customers say

In Little Milton, near Oxford, Sunlight Forest has built a strong reputation for re-roofing and refurbishing garden buildings, summerhouses and outdoor furniture with cedar shingles and thatch alternatives. A number of reviews mention Kayla's helpfulness at the enquiry and quotation stage, from arranging factory visits to see finished buildings such as the Aster and Breeze ranges to adding extras like heaters and lighting at short notice. Several clients describe the installation teams as punctual, hardworking and tidy, praising the quality of workmanship when fitting cedar or cape reed tiles to swings, huts and summerhouses. Communication throughout the process is another point that comes up often, with customers noting they were kept informed from the initial phone call or photo assessment right through to collection, refurbishment and delivery. The finished results are consistently described as looking new, with careful attention to colour and finish, such as matching roof linings to existing furnishings. Clients also value the flexibility of the service, whether replacing an entire thatched roof or supplying spare materials for a bespoke swing seat. The company operates Monday to Thursday during standard daytime hours and a shorter Friday, closing over the weekend, giving customers a clear window for enquiries and site visits to its Little Milton workshop near Oxford.

Faultless is the only word which can describe the whole scenario, from ordering to installation its impressive, the installation team were professional and a joy to watch them construct the house, and the quality is second to none, congratulations to everybody involved, highly recommended.

Twenty-five-year-old teak garden furniture from Heals needed TLC. We had done very little to maintain it in many years. Sunlight Forest told me when they could do the work and offered a quote based on photographs. I waited months, until they moved into slow season, but they collected the table, four chairs and two side tables, as promised, kept in touch by email and with photographs while they did the work and returned the items in beautiful condition a week later. I guess I could have gone to some retail park, to a big-box store, and bought new items for less, but I would rather refurbish what I have and use it another 25 years. It may outlast me. Anyways, strongly recommend this company. Beautiful work.

We were delighted with our Breeze refurbished and new roof. The skilled tradesmen were professional and highly skilled replacing the old plastic roof topper with cedar shingle tiles in keeping with the rest of the new roof and the roof lining now a subtle cream which works so well with the sage green furnishing - we are summer ready - thank you to the whole team - we will certainly be back.

Fantastic Outstanding First Class from start to finish. We called, we discussed on the telephone, they asked for photos, and came back to us with a quote, they came to collect as arranged, and returned the items fully refurbished. Our three pieces now look like they are brand new items. Cannot speak highly enough of the quality of work and ease of arrangements. Polite, friendly and a desire to please and to a give quality service that is sadly lacking in many places today. Thank you Kayla and all your wonderful people, for a job well done.

Excellent service and quality! Sunlight Forest replaced the old thatch on our garden hut with cedar tiles. Kayla in sales was brilliant and very helpful including adding the heater and lighting at the last moment. The team who installed the replacement tiles were just great. They arrived early, worked hard and the job they did was terrific quality. We are delighted and cannot recommend this company highly enough.

Superb service from this company from the initial contact to the installation. Kayla even arranged for us to visit the factory where they erected an Aster for us to view . I've been in customer service for 30 years , and they exceeded all expectations. What service ! Totally recommend this company.

The arrangements to fit shingles on my summer house were very efficient and I was kept informed throughout. The team arrived on time and were friendly, professional and very tidy. I couldn't have asked for more.
