Shed builders..... Who to use (trust)?

[Longneck]

I've got a shed to put up, had various quotes from compaies and have had a broad range of prices.

Some companies i've never heard of, some that i have, some that i have learnt are having financial difficulties (which i totaly understand in current climate).

Question is, who is "safe" to use right now and how do we know for sure?

Any recomendations....?

Staged payments, with first payment when steelwork is in the yard?

You'd like to think Shufflebottom would be as sound as any.

That's a good first step to make sure you don't lose out financially.

But if the OP wants their shed up by autumn/winter and the shed builders go pop halfway through the job, it could end up that it's left unfinished for a long time.....and then it's a right pig to try and get another company to come along and take over the half finished job and get it all done properly.

Buy a kit form shed. Then get a 3rd party to put it up. Hapenns quite a bit.
S and a fabrications seem a pretty reliable firm

Our last one was done by a local well known company. Full payment on completion.

I put up a 36m x 80m shed last year,I paid £12k on receipt of the order then the rest as it was delivered,erection was paid the day it was up.

Had two buildings off GH construction, they were both settled in three payments, first when foundations are laid, next when everything is delivered, finally the erection fee, when it's up and I'm happy with it. Worked well for both parties.

You want a top notch building then shufflebottom or Lowther, GH is ok for run of the mill requirements.

I thought the buildings Bob Green erected were fabricated by GH

GH make buildings for lots of resellers, I have never heard of Mr Green.

Any ballpark costings on price per m2 for ‘general purpose’ or grain storage sheds?

Bridgewater construction here ,pretty certain it was a 10 % deposit and the lorry driver ( 3rd party) took a cheque back when delivered
