Yorkshire Greenhouses and Garden Rooms Ltd
What customers say
Homeowners commissioning greenhouses and garden rooms from this Huntington-based company report a mixed experience that depends heavily on the scale of the project. For smaller jobs, particularly dwarf wall and Victorian-style greenhouses, several accounts describe the installer, named as Chris, arriving on schedule, completing construction in a single day, and communicating clearly from the initial estimate through to the finished build. Site visits to assess uneven patios or existing groundworks are mentioned as part of the process, along with tidy, efficient fitting that left customers pleased with the outcome. However, accounts involving larger garden office builds describe a very different pattern, with concerns raised about the standard of base and concrete work, timescales running well beyond what was agreed, and difficulty reaching the installer once snagging issues emerged, including reports of water ingress and damp insulation requiring further remedial work by other tradespeople. A recurring theme among the less favourable reviews is that aftercare communication falls away once a project is technically finished, leaving loose ends such as grouting or minor defects unresolved. The company operates seven days a week from 9am to 5pm from its Maythorn Road address in Huntington, York, a schedule that appears to suit the straightforward greenhouse installations more consistently than the more complex garden room projects described in the reviews.

Delighted with my new greenhouse. Chris was friendly, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. From arranging a visit to check the suitability of our wonky patio, to placing the order and finally installation itself, Chris made the process straightforward and stress free. Would certainly recommend.
Chris had recently installed our dream greenhouse supplied by the Greenhouse People and we love it. From initial survey through to completion Chris has been a pleasure to deal with although it did take a lot longer then expected to complete. Since completion Chris has been difficult to get hold of. Promising to sort a few niggles but never turning up despite several attempts. 6 months after completion the paving grouting is now coming away. 5 stars for the Robinsons Rushby. 3stars for Chris
Highly recommended, I'm very pleased with the experience. It's great to find a supplier who provides an end-to-end service, so many others want to just carry out the groundwork OR erection of the greenhouse, leaving customers to resolve any problems.
AVOID at all costs. Minus 10 stars would be more appropriate. As a result of our diabolical greenhouse fitting, this company is no longer on the greenhouse peoples recommended installer list. The green house people have paid for another installer to come and rectify this company's joke of a fitting! I have withheld the photographic evidence for now but will appear everywhere should my review be questioned!
Fabulous service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! Chris did an amazing job building our greenhouse in weather that wasn’t ideal. When parts were missing Chris changed his plans to accommodate delays! Great service, no issues at all!
We had a lovely dwarf wall greenhouse installed by Chris. From original contact to completion Chris was excellent. We are delighted with the completed installation.
Chris and his team were great. They kept me informed, advised on the best position for the greenhouse and finished the edges to make the greenhouse look just right. They are great value for money. Chris has a lot of experience and is a great source of information. If you are looking for a greenhouse and not sure which type or where to put it, I would revommend talking to him before buying. Thank you guys. I love my greenhouse.
