About the company

The Shed Factory is a Cambridge-based business that has been trading for over 30 years. It designs and manufactures handmade sheds from its workshop in the centre of Cambridge. The company does not use subcontractors and manufactures all its sheds in-house. It offers bespoke garden buildings. Its services include sheds, playhouses, summerhouses, offices, workshops and garages, kennels and animal runs, slabs and concrete bases, and gazebos.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Anyone planning a bespoke garden building in Cambridge tends to arrive with a rough sketch and measurements, and a number of reviewers describe how faithfully these are translated into finished sheds, bike stores and combined carpentry units. Communication is singled out as clear and friendly, with David and his team named for keeping customers informed from the initial quote through to completion. Punctuality and speed also feature strongly: bases are dug and levelled, slabs laid, and the structure assembled within a couple of hours, with materials and add-ons matching the agreed specification and painting finished neatly.

Several accounts mention the crew being content to handle additional groundworks, whether removing an old shed, pouring a concrete base, or returning later to refit a lock and replace roofing felt lifted by a storm. Solid construction and workmanship are recurring themes, described as good value for the money spent, and one owner notes a unit that weathered four years of use without losing its appearance. David is again the name that comes up when customers explain why they would use the firm again.

We are so pleased with our new shed. Great service from start to finish from David and Brian. Shed was built to our specification and it’s great that you can have whatever you want! A small issue with the lock was rectified the next day (we had requested a lock with key and a padlock style one was installed) so thank you so much for that! Would highly recommend.

Thanks to David and team for a totally pain-free experience. My rough drawing and written instructions turned into the exact shed we required. Installation took a couple of hours and the guys jsut got on with the job, offering alternatives as and when appropriate. Materials for the main edifice were excellent and add-ons were exactly as requested. We'll definitely use this provider again if the need arises.

This is my second shed from this Company! I think that if everybody could be like this guy, the world will be much better! Efficiency, reliability, great comunication, clarity are the key words for this Company! My 2.5x 2 meters shed was up in 45 minutes! Great quality wood, best reccomandations on future treatment, amazing team! Thank you David and Co. It s a pleasure to receive your service!

I would thoroughly recommend The Shed Factory. I made a request for a shed to fit in a specific place so sketched a design with measurements which was sent by email to David and his team. Communication was clear and friendly and the whole process stress free. On the day the base was dug and levelled then slabs were laid. The Shed was assembled and all finished in a couple of hours. It's an excellent build quality, great value for money and hassle free. We have another garden project looming and will be coming to the Shed Factory for our next outbuilding.

I have been looking for a new taller shed for a long time online but to no avail, then i came across The Shed Factory. I sent an email with my specifications and David got back to me the same day with a quote which i accepted. Within 3 weeks it was installed by a very professional installer and it looks awesome, great colour, super strong construction and i can walk into it without ducking and banging my head on the door frame! Highly recommended if you want a shed to your exact needs - Great Job and Thank You

So pleased with work and highly recommend the shed factory. David has been so helpful from the very beginning! He delivers what he promises . Old shed was taking away ; new shed built in .. no mess , so professional; job done and dusted in no time . The shed is treated and can be painted whenever I want . It looks steady and big .. just what I wanted . I can’t recommend enough. Thank you thank you for such a good job 👍
