Dorset Sheds Ltd
What customers say
In Wimborne, off Leigh Road, this family-run business builds sheds, workshops and garden buildings with a focus on bespoke sizing and finish. Customers in several reviews describe a friendly and knowledgeable sales process, with staff such as Ellie, Simone, Kelly and Mark named repeatedly for taking time to understand requirements before designing a structure suited to the space. Delivery and erection are frequently praised for being prompt and well organised, with one buyer noting a sturdy workshop finished only weeks after ordering, and another highlighting cooperation with a local groundworks contractor for the concrete base. Build quality is a point that comes up often, with tongue-and-groove construction and tight-fitting panels mentioned as reasons for satisfaction, and more than one reviewer felt the price represented fair value given rising timber costs. Communication by email or phone is described as quick and patient, even when customers asked numerous questions before committing to an order. One buyer did note that dark pencil markings had been left visible on a door panel, a finishing detail that was not fully addressed before coating. The showroom operates weekdays until mid-afternoon and Saturday mornings until 12:30, giving those planning a shed or workshop purchase a convenient window to visit and discuss options in person before ordering.

Moved into our current property at end of May 2026, was recommended Dorset Sheds so went to see them. Very helpful and professional service, understood my requirements and gave me a fair price. As was a Heavy Duty Pent workshop, it would require a 4" concrete base. They recommended a local firm, who did a fantastic job. Lead time was great for workshop, and was erected this morning 6 weeks from start to finish. I cannot recommend Dorset Sheds enough, buy with upmost confidence.
Just wanted to share how impressed I am with Dorset Sheds 👏 From start to finish, their customer service was spot on. They were really helpful with advice, taking the time to talk through what would work best for my setup and making sure everything was right for my feathered friends 🐦 The whole process was smooth – great communication, friendly team, and the build quality is brilliant. The installation was done professionally and without any hassle, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. On top of that, their pricing was very reasonable for the quality you get, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re thinking about getting a shed or aviary built, I’d definitely recommend Dorset Sheds 👍
We have just had a wonderful experience buying and installing our new garden shed from a very special family run business near Wimborne. It all began with Ellie who took time to listen and advise on what might work best for our needs and then designed it. We then met and were helped by 4 more members of the family, thank you to you all, we are so pleased that we found you.
Very reliable local company. Had sheds before from these guys, lasting 20+ years. Bought a summer house a few years ago which looks as good as new following a really poor experience after buying from an online big boy. Would only use Dorset Sheds from now on.
Thank you to the team at Dorset Sheds who made this Lawnmower House for our Robotic Mower. The quality and workmanship is brilliant and we are thrilled.
Cannot rate this company high enough. Ellie was super responsive to enquiry, the man that showed us the sheds at the showyard was knowledgeable friendly and very helpful. Plans were arranged on phone for a bespoke large heavy duty shed. Delivery was 3 weeks and the men that erected the shed were very conscientious, friendly and did an amazing job. So happy with our building. Thanks so so much
Really pleased with our new 8*6 heavy duty pent shed , Thank you Simone for all your help and my countless questions answered really quickly. Delivery guys really helpful and assembled shed.
