Walters Sheds

Walters Sheds is a family business that was started in 1947 by Jim Walters. It is now run by Jim Walters' nephew, Mark Walters. The business specialises in bespoke buildings and garden sheds of any shape and size.

Sheds and summer houses are made to order using 45mm x 45mm or 75mm x 45mm framing and 16mm x 125mm tongue & groove boards or 20mm x 100mm log lap. Walters Sheds also makes summer houses, dog kennels, potting sheds and aviaries. All products are treated in dark or light oak spirit based preservative. Walters Sheds covers Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

Walters Sheds is a Derby-based shed builder whose customers consistently praise the standard of the finished product. Several reviewers describe the sheds and summer houses as being of very good quality and built to last, with one noting that a bespoke mini shed was constructed to fit under a raised walkway. Mark, who is named in multiple accounts, is described as asking what the customer needed before building, treating the timber and assembling the finished structure. Buyers repeatedly mention that he answers questions helpfully and can adapt designs to individual requirements, including specific sizes such as an 8x7 shed.

A theme running through the feedback is the balance between quality and cost, with sheds described as reasonably priced for the standard delivered. Reviewers also value the personal approach, with Mark taking time to discuss options and explain what is possible. The business is also noted for its long-standing presence locally, with one customer commenting that it has been trading for years. Those prepared to wait for a build describe the outcome as worth the time, receiving a product made to their own design rather than a standard catalogue item.
