It has been a pleasure in parting with my money. I am delighted with the new thatch. David has been so helpful from start to finish. His workmen were brilliant. They left my garden all clean and tidy. In fact you would not know that they had been here. Well done David. I don't usually do reviews but your company deserves one. Mike Smith
Excellent communication and service from David. Very happy with our new cedar shingle roof and cushions
Our poor old garden hut was in desperate need of a new roof. Our new Cedar shingle roof looks absolutely fabulous. From liaising with David, who was very informative and answered our questions, to the guys who came to fit it, has been seamless. The fitters turned up on time, nothing was too much trouble and they did a brilliant job. They even hung our old canvas sides back up for us and put a hook up for us to put the light/heater back up. Thank you. Would highly recommend.
I used Chiltern Garden Buildings (David Richardson) to make a new cedar roof for my wooden 10-seater outside dining area. This was to replace a thatched roof that had been destroyed by birds. David, and his team, did a first class job of making and installing the new roof - it looks really great. He was very pleasant and helpful to deal with, the roof was installed very efficiently and I would recommend him strongly.
Fabulous job, excellent service. David and his team transformed our tired old thatched gazebo with a new upgraded shingle roof and also supplied and fitted some custom made sides for another building. Highly recommended.
I am very happy with the rethatching and new canvas panels for my Hambleton. The service from the whole team was excellent. They came on time, cleared up all the mess and it looks as good as new. Lovely people to deal with.
I ordered a set of replacement canvas sides and roof liner for my 3mtr dia garden thatched gazebo. Having forwarded the dimensions, David and his team were exceptionally helpful, courteous and professional. Keeping me updated, within a short time period their canvas maker had produced exactly my requirements, 6no side panels and a roof liner in top quality durable material, very pleased. Great team, great service, highly recommended.
