About the company

The Shed Shop has been building sheds since 1996. Originally based in Measham, the company moved to Swadlincote in 2012. Matthew Taylor is the owner; he worked for The Shed Shop as an employee for 9 years before buying the company in 2005 and has run it from 2005 to the present day.

William has been with the company since 2000, and Samuel Taylor started in 2021. The Shed Shop builds both standard and bespoke units. Its product range includes sheds, potting sheds, summer houses, summer house and shed combos, play houses, animal houses, log stores and bin stores, and mobility scooter sheds. The company is not a large company and prefers to keep it that way.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Swadlincote and the surrounding area, The Shed Shop has built a strong reputation for made-to-measure garden buildings, with customers returning to Matt for sheds, summerhouses, potting sheds and even a custom two-storey playhouse. A detail many reviews return to is the quality of the finished result: reviewers describe beautiful timber, careful craftsmanship and buildings that look better than expected, including log lap finishes and cabins tailored to awkward garden spaces. Several customers praise Matt for clear advice during ordering, explaining options without pressure and helping to resolve practical questions such as the base.

Reliability is another recurring theme, with orders delivered and erected on the promised day, sometimes earlier than quoted, and one shed assembled within six days of being ordered. Buyers note that the team arrives punctually and puts the structure together with care, leaving the site tidy. Communication before and after the job is frequently highlighted, from confirmation calls ahead of delivery to helpfulness throughout the process. The result is a consistent account of good value, considerate service and well-built garden buildings, whether a compact shed or a larger summerhouse.

I ordered a custom size shed from The Shed Shop and Matt was very helpful throughout the process. Pricing was very reasonable and we're very happy with the shed and the service. We opted to have Matt and his team erect the shed and they were quick and respectful. Would definitely recommend!

An absolute pleasure to buy from. Matthew was very helpful when ordering our shed ensuring that what we brought was what we wanted and gave us options and things to think about we had not considered without putting pressure on us to spend more. As the sheds are built to order, we were told of a date of delivery date at the time of order and true to his word, I was called 2 days before. The team turned up as promised on time and erected the shed ( an option if wanted ). My shed was up in no time at all and the quality of it is so superior to what's available at a DIY shop or online shed suppliers. It is so brilliant to deal with a business that does exactly what they say they will and when they will at a very sensible price. If you want a quality shed, at a good price and great service this is definitely the place to come. Highly recommended!

Ordered the log lap Sun Chalet. From ordering to delivery Matt was so helpful. The Summer House is even better than we could have hoped for. Beautiful timber, and craftsmanship. It looks absolutely gorgeous. The guys assembled it in with such care. Thanks Matt! Really appreciate your time

Absolutely over the moon with my shed from the Shed Shop. Knowledgable and friendly staff helped me get exactly right configuration of shed for my needs - thinking of things I wouldn't have considered on my own. Service was quick and reliable. The shed is fantastic quality, solid as a rock and the price was very reasonable for the quality and service. Would definitely recommend.
