R & B Sheds & Fencing Ltd
What customers say
On the northwest industrial estate off Davy Drive in Peterlee, R & B Sheds & Fencing has built a long-standing name for garden buildings and fencing supplied across the Sunderland area. Reviewers often mention the quality of workmanship, describing fences and sheds that still look good years after installation, along with the friendly and helpful manner of the staff both in the workshop and on site. A handful of homeowners describe bespoke sizing being handled well, with buildings fitted precisely into awkward garden spaces, and playhouses and potting sheds finished with a personal touch that customers appreciated. Communication during the build comes up often too, with one project noting how a team member made sure the finished shed matched the agreed specification. Visits to the workshop before ordering are mentioned positively, with staff letting customers view existing work and answer questions before committing. Installation teams are described as professional, tidy and quick to complete the job. However, a small number of reviewers have raised concerns about timber quality on some sheds, including thinness and knots becoming apparent after a couple of years of use. The business operates from Monday to Saturday, with shorter hours on Fridays and a Saturday morning slot, giving flexibility for those wanting to call in before or after work.

Pricey, for a cheap rubbish shed. The wood is full of knotts, and so thin that you can see daylight through when you are inside. I bought this shed about 2 years ago. Yes it looked good. But when I was inside on a sunny day, I could see the sun shining through the wood. The wood was so thin. Also, the wood has now started to warp. A very bad shed. I payed them more than other shed providers, thinking it would last. This was a big mistake. I should have went for a budget shed, as they couldn't have been any worse than this. My advice is not to buy a shed from this company unless you want it to last a couple of years.
Would like to thank R and B sheds for our fantastic summerhouse top notch workmanship.I would definately recommend
I had my shed delivered and built today and all I can say is WOW I am very impressed from start to finish I visited the workshop spoke to staff and they even let me view some of their work the staff are very knowledgeable helpful and friendly and the lads that installed it were first class so helpful and professional I would definitely recommend this company, thank you very much I love my new shed.
Delighted with my new 8 x 6 garden shed. Quality construction with excellent installers. My sincere thanks .
They look good sheds but can not see it lasting too long, very thin cladding and started to show signs of twisting after only 18month, now roof leaking after less than 3year, few leaks in sides keep plugging with mastic.
Fantastic company to do business with. Great staff great price. How a local business should be ran. Highly recommended 👌.
Very impressed with the workmanship and communication. Steve is a sound, polite guy and made sure the shed was built to spec. Would definitely use again.
