Avon Sheds Ltd

Avon Sheds Ltd, trading as Creaky Leaky Shed Roofing, has been selling, assembling and repairing garden sheds, summerhouses and playhouses for over 10 years. The business operates locally in the Bristol and North Somerset area and specialises in re-felting, repairing garden buildings and building sheds. It offers a re-felting service.

The company does not have a showroom and provides a free no obligation quotation. Team member Chris has years of experience building, installing and repairing garden buildings. Mike has been with the company for many years. Erin, Chris's eldest daughter, officially joined the team in 2021. Stefan is the newest team member and learns from Chris and Mike.

On Valley Gardens in Nailsea, Bristol, most customers approach this business about an ageing timber shed rather than a new installation, and the pattern across accounts centres on renovation and repair work handled by Chris and his colleague. Jobs mentioned include swapping out decayed frame sections and cladding panels, fitting fresh hinges and a security bolt, sorting a roof suffering from missing shingles and softened timber ends, and adding extra cladding plus a replacement door to smarten up a tired structure.

A point raised more than once is that Chris assesses the shed before quoting, often concluding that restoration makes more sense than starting again, with one project - a 12 by 8 shed - finished within a day and a half. Care and neatness are noted repeatedly, with the pair bringing their own bin for offcuts and nails and leaving gardens tidy once finished, a detail that matters where pets are around.

Costs are described as sensible for the amount of work completed. One booking was affected by a scheduling mix-up that pushed the visit back a day, though the workmanship itself was still carried out to a professional standard. The premises operates daily from 9am to 5pm, offering flexibility for arranging an inspection around the week.
