J.D. Fears & Sons

J.D. Fears & Sons is a local, family-owned business located in Hove. The business has over two decades of experience in the industry and came under new ownership on 29th April 2025. It specialises in crafting customised garden structures, with each shed tailor-made to meet specific requirements and exclusively crafted from pine, not chipboard.

The business provides a 2-year guarantee on its sheds; this guarantee does not cover damages caused by natural events, felt deterioration, or vandalism. The garden structures offered can endure for a minimum of 25 years and beyond if properly maintained. J.D. Fears & Sons supplies garden structures, fencing, and gates across Sussex. Services include garden fencing, summerhouses, beach huts, garden storage solutions, garden furniture, and wooden garages.

Hove customers describe J.D. Fears & Sons as a family-run firm whose made-to-measure garden buildings and fencing consistently meet expectations. Reviewers repeatedly praise the quality of the finished summerhouses and sheds, with several noting that the standard far exceeds cheaper structures bought online. Punctuality and reliability come up often: teams arrive when promised, work steadily through the task and complete installations, including a larger replacement shed fitted in a few hours, without fuss. Clear communication before and during the job is another recurring theme, with quotes honoured to the penny and no unexpected charges.

Tidiness is mentioned regularly, as crews respect the property and leave the site clean once work is done. The expertise of Jim and his sons is singled out, both for constructing new buildings and for returning to remedy a sagging roof years after the original installation, a problem solved despite material shortages. Customers also value the friendly, courteous manner of the team, and one account highlights their kindness towards an injured bird found on site. The range of work covered includes fencing, gates and bespoke garden structures.
