for holy f*"',:s sake do not deal with this company. They are no use. I've had a shed ordered since jan 2015 and only now do I have the most of it . Not all of it. Had to pay extra haulage just to get what id paid for. Lawyers bill is in the thousands!Had all the excuses, ,"under priced the job", "blamed the shipping company but failed to say they hadn't been paid from another job!" well that's your own fault. If you cant price a job correctly get another f**kin job.
Seriously, avoid like the plague. These are cowboys. Completely useless and I know of 2 other people who have had similar experience.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has had similar experience or has there been a customer who is happy with this company? I strongly doubt it.!

You should have credit checked them before giving them any money , doesn't look like they could buy a welding rod never mind the steel,

Look in sef magazine. Plenty of reputable companies in there. Also oxford steel frames if you’re erecting your self. Hope you get some money back from them.

i Have had the complete opposite experience. Great customer service and absolutely fantastic build-erected and built by them. Wasn’t aware they erected sheds off the mainland seeing the owner is never far from his workshop when I’ve been looking work done

I’m pleased if somewhat surprised that someone has had a pleasant experience with this company. Doesn’t alter the fact that myself and three other people have had a nightmare and are out of pocket.

Troll. Not every person will have the same bad experience. I know a few others who have had work done with good experiences. Keep your comments to yourself, unless you have some experience of the company to add?!?no, didn’t think so

Happy to upload photos of the work they have done to date. It's so bad that the whole lot needs to be redone. We have also paid for the kit and there's bits missing etc. Very disappointing
 
There are plenty of good reputable building suppliers/out there.
Hopefully this wasn't a selection based on price alone, as whether we like it or not producing good consistent quality in anything has cost attached. Suggest a good source for identifying decent building suppliers is RIDBA, where all building supplier members must be CE accredited.
I hope all the outstanding issues get resolved.
