Our new shed is up and we are more than pleased with it and also with the whole construction process. I had looked at three companies to build a bespoke shed but a near neighbour recommended the shed factory, just 400m from our old house. I called in and gave David my specifications and I was surprised when he said no problem. I wanted a large shed, framed in a heavy timber frame so I could insulate it. They laid a reinforced concrete base, with a conduit for mains power, and a few days later erected the shed in a day. The shed was built in sections in their factory and I supplied some paint and heavy duty hinges so it arrived fully painted. Roof was covered in EPDM rubber which does not degrade under UV & ozone and should last 50 years according to manufacturer.
The Shed Factory chaps did all the heavy building work, maintaining a clean site and were courteous and happy to move their van when required by neighbours. The shed will outlast me by some decades and will be a lovely place to peruse my hobby.
Thank you all for a job very well done.
Bob Davies 09 Nov 2024
A professional service from initial contact to shed delivery and installation.
Dave and his team provided good advice on the design and delivered a good quality shed within the estimated timescales.
We would use them again and thoroughly recommend them.
Glen & Rachel 29 Aug 2024
Great shed very well constructed and installed with solid slab base all work to a high standard
Nick 27 Aug 2024
Great service from the team at The Shed Factory replacing an old leaking shed with a new one. Ordering was easy - Dave responded to my questions and gave a clear cost breakdown so I could tailor my shed to my needs and my budget.
Installation was super quick and the team dismantled my old shed and installed the new one in a couple of hours including guttering and a new water butt, they cleaned up after themselves and left the garden tidy. I am really pleased with the service and my new shed!
Lesley Baynes 07 Aug 2024
I am very happy with my replacement shed. The advice on design was helpful and it was installed quickly and neatly.
Eve 10 Jul 2024
From start to finish they where great, professional and knowledgeable, they knew what I wanted and handled it superbly. I would highly recommend them
James 04 Jun 2024
We are really pleased with the finished shed, an excellent of quality of build. It was a very good company to deal with as I could design the shed and they made the shed to my specifications to fit in the space available.
Rob Fox 25 Nov 2023
Thrilled to bits with my 'she' shed. The shed factory make sheds to last. Professional, reliable and a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended.
Christina Watson 24 Nov 2023
The Shed Factory discussed the building of a large shed before our move. Once we moved David came to survey the position and discuss requirements. The base was laid and the shed erected in a short space of time. This was done in a conscientious and efficient way to provide exactly what we needed for additional storage. I thoroughly recommend The Shed Factory.
John Flowerdew 09 Nov 2023
Could not be more delighted with our new shed. One of the easiest purchases we've ever made. Efficient and precise, great workmanship, quality product. Yea, maybe a bit more expensive than you'd buy in a garden centre or DIY shop, but totally well worth every penny. Delivered and installed on site.
Would definitely recommend.
Deborah and Robert Parr 19 Oct 2023
Yes definitely the GO TO business for sheds!
David and his team offer a very personal and bespoke service, as they quite clearly listen and wish to please in delivering a great job!
In two hours, the old shed was down and the new one erected! Including some unexpected fence repair and foundation work!! In the pouring rain too!
Highly recommended.
David King 13 Oct 2023
This is the ONLY place you should go to in Cambridge for a shed. We got our first from David and 'The Shed Factory' 25 years ago and was delighted to have shed number 2 installed this week. The sheds are sturdy, made to measure if that's what you need, delivered and installed, and beautifully made. They look great and last forever.
Edwin Chilvers 30 Aug 2023
Thanks to David and his team at The Shed Factory for my wonderful new shed. Just popped in to Cheddars Lane for a chat and to make a design followed up by a couple of phone calls. Delivered and assembled on site very methodically in an hour as just promised. Delighted.
Roger Horton 27 Jun 2023
Thank you David and your team for designing, manufacturing and assembling the shed which was all done with the minimum of fuss and maximum efficiency. The quality is excellent.
Simon Thorley 22 Jun 2023
David and his team at The Shed Factory, created a bespoke shed / bike storage are for us in Cambridge. We are really happy with the results and it's transformed our garden area. Thanks so much to David and the team!

Tom Dowdall 10 May 2023
We ordered our shed and it was built just as we wanted it and came on the day and was erected with no problems at all. This is the second garden shed we'ev had from them now. Good and strong, well built sheds are not cheap and you get what you pay for. Theirs are built to last. Just what we wanted.
Dave Worsley 05 May 2023
The Shed Factory have just delivered and installed a new shed in my garden. It came on schedule and I can heartily endorse this company.
John Harrison 12 Apr 2023
Our old shed (not provided by the Shed Factory!!) finally gave out with the roof collapsing under its own weight. Cue a panic to get a new shed in place for all our garden and outdoor storage needs. The guys at the Shed Factory were on it straight away - very quick in returning a quotation and quick site visit to measure up and see what might work. Fast forward four weeks (which given all this happened over the Christmas and New Year period was rapid) and we have a new shiny shed and is extremely sturdy and exactly what we were after.
Christian Galanis 23 Jan 2023
The bespoke shed that David has realized for us is exactly what we wanted. Also, communication has been good and very polite since day 1, exhaustive and honest advice provided during our decision making process, work completed in a neat and tidy way. Overall, we are very pleased with the work that David and his staff carried out for us!
Emilia, November 2022
Emilia Caporale 26 Nov 2022
We ordered an 8ft by 6ft pent roof shed which was delivered ahead of schedule and constructed in a very quick and efficient way by David and his staff. They are all very professional, neat and tidy. The shed is good quality and well built. We are very pleased with our purchase. David responds quickly to e-mails and is very knowledgeable and helpful. He and his staff all follow the Government Covid guidelines of social distancing and safety procedures. We would highly recommend them and their product.
Ami & Nigel Haines 21 Sep 2022
David and his team took on the challenge to build us a New Timing Hut for the Race Circuit to replace the old one that had been there for 25+ years. After a couple of site visits to explain what we needed and being told there was a time frame in which to complete. David and his team produced exactly what we needed. The Job was carried out professionally and on time with attention to detail and shows that all at the shed factory take pride in the work they do.
Fantastic Job, thank you very much for all your hard work, the building will serve the club for many years to come.

From the first telephone call with David to the installation of our new shed, the service was amazing. And thank you to Brian & Bradley for the very professional and polite service, totally recommend this company.
Glenn 19 Aug 2022
Very good overall service and product. Very business like to deal with, don't be afraid of communicating via email just keep the conversation thread continuous for easy reference. We did everything via email and a couple of phone calls so it's very convenient if you like doing things this way. If you aren't give it a try you'll be surprised.
There are lots of extras the company offer so take the time to look at these.
Be flexible if possible on the delivery date as you could have installation sooner than the arranged date.
Any Covid measures were carried out. Very efficient delivery / installation with noted attention to detail of closing gates when leaving. Good work the Shed factrory.
Jeremy & Helen 12 Aug 2022
We are delighted with our shed!
It was not an easy site for construction as access was severely limited but David and team did a great job.
We also appreciated the advice given as we were not sure exactly what type of shed we wanted.
The shed is very sturdy and I feel will last for years.
I would certainly recommend The Shed Factory
Pat 14 Jul 2022
The Shed Factory were very prompt with a quote and reliable at all times. They prepared our shed over a few weeks and installed it to specification within a few hours. We are very pleased.
Dave's staff were polite and friendly.
Gwyneth and Rob Barton 08 Jul 2022
We are very satisfied with our new super-sturdy bike shed, which was put up - incl. base - in no time at all. The team was very friendly, while observing all Covid guidelines, many thanks to all of them!
Claudia + Marcus 15 Jun 2022
Extremely pleased with the purchase and erection of the Summer House also laying the Slab base. An excellent job all round.
Thank you David and your team.
Neville Buttress 06 Jun 2022
End result is just what I imagined! Described my desired shed with a few examples from the gallery. Dave came to have a look at the space I wanted to fill and his team checked in when building it to get things right. Really sturdy well built shed that I'm expecting will easily last decades. They laid the base for me as well and it was all done weeks before I thought we would be able to get it built. Already filling it up fast and making use of the space.
William Kerslake 06 Jun 2022
My 10 x 6 foot pent security shed was expertly made to my exact spec and delivered and erected on schedule. Both delivery lead time and price were superior to that offered by competitors for a similar spec.The comprehensive set of photographs of completed sheds shown on the web site gives confidence when placing an order. All in this is impressive for a company that I understand is working to recommended Covid safety standards in its workplace.
Geoffrey Willis 22 Apr 2022
Very satisfied with my shed, everything went to plan. Very polite and prompt construction from staff. All covid rules adhered to from when visiting site to shed being constructed.
Excellent all round service.
Ann Ralph 12 Apr 2022
Many thanks to Dave and his team at The Shed Factory. They were a pleasure to deal with, responded quickly to my initial enquiry, and after visiting to discuss what we needed our shed was installed within a couple of weeks. We are very happy with it, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Bruce 08 Apr 2022
Really pleased with our new pent shed which has exceeded expectations and looks fantastic. Solid construction and excellent build-quality. Very impressed by David and his team who worked quickly, efficiently, tirelessly and Covid-safe to lay the base and erect the shed.
David was most helpful and professional throughout the whole process, from discussing our requirements, explaining the various options and preparing a comprehensive quote.
The website examples were particularly useful as a starting point.
Although we only had a few minor changes to customise our particular shed, the great strength of the Shed Factory is that they can manufacture a huge range of different garden buildings to suit any requirement.
Andrew 29 Mar 2022
Absolutely love our new shed! The quality of the construction and painting is excellent. On the day the shed was installed, your team were very were punctual and efficient and did a great job of laying the base and erecting the shed. Would definitely recommend!
Christy Gilbert & Andrew Farrell 17 Mar 2022
I first got in touch with the Shed Factory at the end of January 2022 as I required a new Pent shed with custom dimensions and specifications. Communication was always quick, friendly and informative, delivery and installation of my shed was much quicker than I'd anticipated and the build quality looks great. On the day of installation, the Shed Factory staff were very polite, efficient about their work (done in about an hour!), did a great job and kept to Covid safety guidelines at all times.
Andrew 28 Feb 2022
After comparing several companies for our new shed, we decided to go with David and the Shed Factory and we're so glad we did. The work was carried out by David, Brian and Bradley professionally and courteously following Covid regulations. David was very careful to ensure that everything was exactly how we wanted it. The shed is extremely well built and David was on site to oversee the project from start to finish.
Margaret 15 Feb 2022
We had two sheds installed on the same day. This was done efficiently and in a timely manner with the area left cleared and tidy at the end of the instillation.
David Bidwell 08 Feb 2022
Simply awesome.
Very easy to talk to, very open about their product. Visiting the yard gave my wife and I the confidence that their sheds were for us - and now that it's installed I can say with absolute confidence we have made the right choice in our pent potting shed. They stuck to social distancing guidelines, and had the shed installed all in a morning - arriving exactly when they said they would. The shed itself, however, is the star of the show. It's solid, well fitting and bears the look of something well-made. I'm looking forward to the next 30 years (at least!) with it.
Tom Dewey 29 Jan 2022
I recently contacted the Shed factory for a large shed for my garden project. I have to say their level of professionalism was outstanding. Incredibly efficient and considerate. I'm chuffed to bits with my new shed, it's great quality and arrived on the exact date we agreed when I placed the order, despite the pandemic!
David kept me up to date and when they discovered a slight issue with where I wanted my shed they worked really hard to make it work. It was really nice to deal with David and his colleagues in person, I felt valued and was always able to contact them easily.
Great company, highly recommend!
James Hepnar 13 Jan 2022
Very happy with the design, manufacture and installation of a bespoke garden shed and fence combo for our back yard. The service from Dave and his whole team was excellent, from my initial enquiry through the design and subsequent installation. Highly recommended!
Hayden 09 Jan 2022
We had a new shed installed earlier this year and have been absolutely delighted with it. David and team provided a great service from beginning to end. We would highly recommend The Shed Factory.
Simon 09 Nov 2021
An absolutely excellent experience in all respects. Dave and his team are true professionals and it was a pleasure dealing with them, from initial sizing and design discussions, through to deliver and installation.
They are not the cheapest and nor are they the quickest (due to an always full order book) but their workmanship and quality is second to none, so the wait is certainly worthwhile.
We are delighted with the outcome and have no hesitation in recommending them to others. Thank you Dave, Brian and team.
Trevor 26 Oct 2021
The shed factory did my shed in about April and I wanted to leave my review for a few months to see how my shed lasted.
Well, six months later and the shed still looks, and is, just great!
You can probably get a shed built to order more cheaply but what's more important, saving every penny or recognising and paying for proper work? As to the work, it was all done with what seemed like military timing and organisation.
No, nonsense, no hidden charges and no faffing about.
Thanks for the shed!
Robert Pain 18 Oct 2021
Very pleased with the shed supplied by The Shed factory, David and his team dismantled and disposed of our old shed, repaired the base and erected the new one all in one morning even before the proposed installation date and working to government Covid rules.
A very professional company and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Roger 31 Aug 2021
We are very happy with our 11 x 7 shed that Dave designed for a concrete base we already had. Because they had prepared a lot in the workshop the shed was built in a few hours. Dave and his team were punctual and worked with social distancing and covid secure measures in place.
The shed looks good at the bottom of our garden and it has useful shelves so it is great for storage. It looks like it will last a long time. I would definitely recommend the shed factory.
Faye 21 Aug 2021
The Shed Factory delivered our shed on time and put it up satisfactorily. We had a problem with the shelf, but, importantly a member of the team visited us very promptly and resolved the issue. What was really pleasing is the work was carried out without any qualms and to a high quality.
This is really what matters with businesses - making sure the customer is happy. I would certainly buy another shed from The Shed Factory when the time comes.
Thank you
Ian 17 Aug 2021
I am really happy with my new shed. The team arrived bang on time and kept to Covid safe distance. Even though it was a very hot day they were all finished by lunch time.
They tidied up after and left no mess.
AAA+++
David Dunsire 06 Aug 2021
The Shed Factory provided me with a very high quality replacement shed/workshop at a competitive price. The size requirement of 7.5ft by 9ft is not one of the standard sizes but this was not a problem as their sheds are bespoke. The delivery time was good at the originally quoted 2-3 months compared to other suppliers and in the event it was earlier at just under 6 weeks. They dismantled and removed the old shed, erected the new one and were gone in just under 3h, all the while respecting the Covid requirements in place at the time. The only slight demerit was with the bench I asked to be supplied and this was really down to me not asking specifics as to its construction. The work bench was constructed from 5 separate pieces of 18mm plywood mounted on a 46mm square timber framework. It is robust enough but not terribly elegant (a bit patchwork) and is merely abutted to the shiplap vertical support timbers leaving a 46mm gap at the back and sides down which things can easily fall. This has necessitated the install of an up-stand all around the back. Apart for this the shed was perfect for my requirements and I am very satisfied with both the service and the product, to be recommended.
Geof - Balsham 27 Jul 2021
Reply from The Shed Factory:
We are very glad to hear that you are so happy with your new shed. We completely understand what you are saying about the lack of any up-stand on the workbench and we will add this option to our benches in future. If you had contacted us about this issue we'd have been happy to have re-visited and installed one for you! Please do let us know if there is anything else we can help with and we hope your shed brings many happy years of pottering.
I recently moved into my new home and Dave and the team replaced an extremely old rotting shed already present in my garden with a perfect new one.
Due to the current Covid circumstances all the communication and designing was done over the phone and by emails. Dave was extremely helpful using his expertise to answer my many questions.
The shed was ready 2 days earlier than provisionally planned. Dave and the team arrived on time and quickly dismantled my old shed and lay the needed paving for the new shed to sit on. The new shed was erected so quickly and they had the entire job complete in a single morning. All members of the team followed social distancing guidelines even post 'freedom day'.
I cannot recommend the Shed Factory enough and absolutely love my new shed! Thank you so much Dave and team!
Ben Denton 21 Jul 2021
David and team took replaced our old shed with a lovely new one last week. All the communication before hand and during and afterwards has been friendly and helpful. They turned up on time and got the job finished within a day, adhering to social distancing rules and very respectful of ours and their safety.
I would absolutely recommend using the Shed Factory if you need a new shed!
Sam 07 Jul 2021
Fantastic robust shed supplied and fitted professionally by David and his team. The shed was built exactly as originally instructed via phone and delivered 2 days earlier than expected. The team professionally installed the shed following the social distancing and Government Covid safety guidelines.
I. Barnes, Great Shelford 01 Jul 2021
The best shed we have ever had! Excellent workmanship and delivered and erected ahead of schedule. Dave was very helpful in advising us of all the options available and we are delighted with the result. We were very impressed with their commitment to social distancing and compliance with Government safety measures and guidelines. Despite the inclement weather at the time they made no mess whatsoever. Highly recommended.
Liz Rowlinson 03 Jun 2021
Delighted with the new shed which more than meets expectations: solidly built to requirements and delivered promptly on the agreed date. David and his team took great care with the installation, and with social distancing on the day. Excellent service from a local firm I'd highly recommend.
Stuart 31 May 2021
I'm absolutely delighted with my new shed. It's sturdily made with excellent workmanship and was installed quickly and efficiently with full regard to Covid safety measures. I would highly recommend The Shed Factory.
Emma 26 Apr 2021
I requested a medium size shed with all the upgrades (thicker frame, laminated windows, etc.) and the result is a very sturdy and well built shed, well worth the money.
Pat 04 Apr 2021
If you're looking for a bespoke shed or summer house look no further.
I wanted a shed that looked like a summer house and that's exactly what I got.
Five stars for service and five stars for quality.
I went on to sketch a storage unit for my golf and fishing gear and David produced the perfect product.
Both units finished in Seagrass Green and delivered and erected two days ahead of schedule.
John Hodgson 25 Mar 2021
A well made shed, efficiently designed and installed to strict Covid safety rules. Recommended.
Simon, Cambridge 11 Mar 2021
So happy to see my new shed arrive and be erected so quickly this morning. It's both attractive and sturdy; I can't wait to start moving my garden tools and games into it this weekend. Seeing professionals work so efficiently, maintaining social distance at every stage was most impressive. As an asthmatic that was very important for me, but more so as a teacher I need to stay healthy for the sake of my pupils and colleagues. The Shed Factory come highly recommended!
Adam in Hardwick 10 Mar 2021
The Shed Factory do a great job as you can see from the volume of testimonials on this web-site! Very high quality product, bespoke service gets you exactly what you need. This is the second time we have brought from the Shed Factory, because it is worth paying for a shed that will last and great service from David and his team.
Philip Stanbury-Jones 10 Mar 2021
Shed Factory shed arrived first thing on due date. Three hours later a high quality, treated, redwood 12 x 8 foot shed was waiting at the bottom of my garden.
Excellent friendly, service
Bob Procter 22 Feb 2021
We took delivery of our new shed from the Shed Factory last week and are delighted. Our previous shed had collapsed and we were struggling to find anyone who could supply the spec we wanted without a very long wait. They were very helpful, delivery was prompt, and the finished shed is just as we had asked and very well made. Brian, who delivered and erected the shed, arrived bright and early, was friendly and efficient, and followed Covid guidelines and restrictions so we felt completely at ease and safe. We were really pleased to find a local firm to use and would definitely recommend them. They went out of their way to help and delivered just what we wanted.
Jane Larkin 08 Feb 2021
Big thanks to Dave and team! We gave them the measurements and design and they built it exactly how we wanted. Put it up in less than a day, observing social distancing at all times. We are so pleased with the end result; a solid, waterproof summer house. Very excited for the drier, sunnier weather!
Richard Osborn 07 Feb 2021
Very pleased with my new Shed! Dave understood exactly what I wanted and designed the shed perfectly. It was delivered and erected in an hour or so and Brian, who carried out the work, was excellent; very friendly and efficient. All carried out safely and in current guidelines. Also, the shed was much better value than those we looked at in garden centres. I will certainly recommend Dave to others.
Ivan Wilmore 06 Feb 2021
New shed dlivered and erected by Dave and his team on the date promised (15th Jan). I am impressed with the quality of the finished product. Shed was erected in just over two hours with strict social distancing observed and no fuss.
Well done Shed Factory - great product, great service delivered on time.
Simon Rogers 24 Jan 2021
Very pleased with my new shed delivered and erected a day early. Excellent and thorough service from planning to execution. Social distancing and all Covid regulations rigorously observed. Highly recommend.
Sheila Shead 23 Jan 2021
Very impressed with the quality and workmanship of our new shed. Dave delivered the shed a day earlier than promised and erected the shed himself. Given the current COVID climate, rigorously maintaining social distancing throughout the process from factory visit to installation. I would highly recommend The Shed Factory as Dave and his team have an obvious wealth of experience and knowledge within this sector.
Steve Z 15 Jan 2021
We have just had our new shed delivered and erected on the day agreed with the minimum of fuss by a professional team of two.
We are extremely pleased with the result and though I seldom recommend services that we use, in this instance I would have no problem doing so.
Mr Oke 11 Dec 2020
Super excited at my bespoke blue shed that Ive wanted for a long time. David took my ideas and designed it just as I wanted it, and suggested important details that I wouldnt have thought about. Great service with regular emails and phone calls. 2 site visits, all done with socially distanced measures in place and a build in a matter of hours. Very clean, very safe, professional and friendly. Highly recommend!
Fiona Smith 19 Oct 2020
I arranged the supply and erection of our shed over the telephone with Dave. When it was erected, it was to plan and of excellent quality. Dave did the erection of the shed himself, he was very careful about social distancing which was reassuring. A 5 star experience.
Chris 04 Oct 2020
Extremely pleased with our new shed which has exceeded our expectations. It's definitely made our garden look better and David managed to install quickly after making the order.
Leigh Chapman 17 Sep 2020
Very happy with our recent shed purchase. David was easy to deal with, he explained our options and met all of our needs and the installation was done very efficiently. Totally excellent experience!Mike Seaman 12 Sep 2020
I am extremely pleased with my beautiful new shed! Everything, from keeping to the proposed date, to dismantling and taking away the old one and to assembling the new one exactly as I wanted it - everything went according to plan. The workmanship of the shed is of a very high standard and the two men on the day did a quick and professional job. Couldn't be more pleased! Thanks so much.
Catie G 10 Sep 2020
Our new shed arrived from the Shed Factory last month and we couldn't be more pleased. The specification was exactly as we wanted and the finish was outstanding. The guys who came worked quickly and professionally. The product is to the highest quality and will no doubt be there for years to come. Thank you!
Sally and John 21 Aug 2020
We ordered a shed from The Shed Factory after making an appointment to view the products we placed an order. This viewing was done in a socially distanced manner with no sales patter. After we ordered the shed it was erected by Dave at the arranged time and date. The shed is of an excellent quality and we are very happy with the shed and the whole process. We would not hesitate in recommending The Shed Factory and give it a 5 star rating.
Graham Darling 24 Jul 2020
I had a shed supplied and installed today. The service was exemplary. Friendly highly efficient service, made even more impressive when adhering to social distancing.
Steve Burman 10 Jul 2020
Had a shed delivered and fitted today. The service from start to finish was excellent. I have used this company before and will again. Always polite and efficient. The shed meets my needs and fits into the tight space perfectly. Due to the Covid Pandemic all care was taken to social distance and protect the customer and staff. A great job well done.
Patrick Webb 03 Jul 2020
Really pleased with the workmanship of the shed and the installation. When I visited the yard at Cheddars Lane to view examples of sheds built by the Shed Factory the proprietor (Dave) was very helpful. No pressure sales etc and he designed the shed I wanted. Throughout the visit Dave was very COVID aware and during the installation.
Dave Smith 25 Jun 2020
Many thanks for the shed, delivered early and far quicker than anyone else. And it's a lovely bit of work, just what we wanted. I would recommend you to anyone.
Dave & Sue 12 Jun 2020
David and his Shed Factory team were excellent, and were able to assemble a solid, high quality shed very quickly, while complying with the current social distancing regulations. We're very pleased with the work!
Julia L, Cherry Hinton 11 Jun 2020
I purchased an 8x5 custom made shiplap, pent shed from The Shed Factory in May 2020. I spoke to David to discuss my requirements and took delivery just over a week later when David came over to build it. I am very pleased with the shed, it is very well made and has been constructed to a high standard and it looks like it will last me a long time. David assembled it himself in about an hour at my property, all in all a very good service. I would happily recommend The Shed Factory to anyone who is looking for a good quality outbuilding rather than just the cheapest.
Nigel Rutherford 10 Jun 2020
I first met David in mid-May at The Shed Factory which I had identified from a comprehensive search on the web. During our meeting we discussed the design of shed I wanted (8' x 7'6") and my ideal timescale for delivery. I wanted a barn style roof with a door high enough to spare my head and some specific decoration over the door. We had lived in the mid-west of the US and Dutch barns were a continuing theme throughout the countryside. The duly completed shed arrived on the agreed day, although 3 minutes early, which we coped with. Our existing tired shed was duly taken away and the new shed erected with great efficiency. The shed was exactly to our specification and to a very high quality indeed I started to imagine it might be my man cave, but my wife had other ideas. I cannot fault the shed, it is made from sound materials and constructed with great care. The added decoration is just what we wanted and finished off what was a first-class job. I am very happy to thoroughly recommend The Shed Factory and David Hills
Mike M 07 Jun 2020
David's team were excellent from start to finish. In a tight space in our small terrace house back garden, they dismantled and removed the very dilapidated, very rotten old shed, levelled the base, installed a handsome made-to-measure replacement, cleaned and tidied up, all within 3 hours. Good helpful and on-time communication throughout the whole process. I particularly liked the itemised pricing scheme, allowing a range of bespoke specifications at a clear up-front cost estimate. The process and end product were well-worth the money. I strongly recommend the Shed Factory and would use again myself.
David D 10 Dec 2019
Just had a shed fitted by The Shed Factory & I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of purchasing. David was great with us from start to finish.
Rob A 08 Dec 2019
I would just like to say how impressed I was with the shed I had designed and built for me. It really has made a difference to my garden and now I have plenty of room for storage as well as my lawnmower and tools. The team at the Shed Factory were great and from start to finish they gave me a very personal and professional service. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new shed or office in the garden.
Linda 07 Oct 2019
Honest, straightforward, great quality build and install - highly recommended. I spent hours online looking for a shed, and gave up because I didn't trust the pictures; didn't like the hidden extras that popped up at checkout, and generally didn't have confidence in the vendors or the products. I also looked at a bunch of sheds in local garden centres - I saw some good sheds and a whole lot of bad sheds, and all of them were way over our price threshold. Then we went to see the Shed Factory, who provided quick, straightforward advice and a great price, for quality that we could see in the various display sheds in their yard. We originally wanted a custom-built shed (a quick and painless discussion), but in the end we were so impressed by one of their display models, we bought that instead. Installation was very quick, but also very careful, and we're delighted. I recommend this company without hesitation.
Alastair 02 Oct 2019
Excellent garden shed Ordered a medium-sized garden shed with The Shed Factory Cambridge. David provided excellent service, and gave great suggestions on how to lay out the shed given the tight awkward corner of the garden that it needed to go in to. All correspondence was very detailed, shed arrived in good time, and installation was super-fast (less than 1hr!) Overall, an excellent product that we are very happy with, with terrific service. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic Service and product David and his team were amazing. They did a fantastic job on customising the shed on site to the fit the terrain. The sheds are magnificent and both my wife and i are delighted with them. Aftersales service was great as well.

Quality Shed I discovered Shed Factory by accident but I'm glad I found them. The shed is good quality, solid wood on a smart raised base - both built and installed by the Shed Factory in half a day. The popularity of the company lead to a long wait time but it's better to wait for a quality product.

Highest quality customer service Absolutely excellent service throughout. The advice before purchase was straightforward and honest with no high pressure tactics - just a discussion of our needs, prelimary designs for two replacement sheds and an estimate of costs. We were also assured that our old sheds could be removed, new bases constructed and the new sheds installed within two days. My wife and I left to think about what we should do and I think David was slightly surprised when we returned within five minutes of leaving to say that we wanted to go ahead. He came to the house the next day for a site visit and soon after sent a quote for the work which we were very happy to accept. The sheds have just been installed, all the work was carried out in a single day, and we are are delighted with the quality of the sheds and the accompanying site works.

Excellent Shed and Garden fence work We just had a Garden shed and fences fitted to our garden in Cambridge by The Shed Factory. The team were friendly, very competent, professional and with great attendance to detail. I was also very impressed with the personal care taken.

Small garden storage shed. Very good service, and good quality product for a reasonable price. The shed was needed by my parents after moving to a bungalow in Cambridge and it was delivered and erected in the garden very efficiently, having access only through the house. It was required urgently for storage and was delivered and erected within a few days of placing the order. Can definitely recommend this company, for quality of product, service and communication.

Dear Mr Hills. May I say how pleased I was that you took on the whole job of site clearance, fencing, site preparation and installation of the new shed. I was very pleased to see you have carried it out in every detail, as we discussed. It is pleasing that you were able to match the old fencing in style and dimension. We are also very pleased with the shed.

Large bespoke shed Everyone who has seen our new 6x5 meter Shed has been impressed by the build quality. The Shed Company constructed a new base as well as the shed, and the location caused a few logistical problems, but David and his team delivered a quality product on time and we are all very pleased with the finished product.

Happy with the service We live in France and asked The Shed Factory to make a shed for our daughter living in Cambridge. The project was problem free from start to finish with a solid and attractive shed now in the garden.

Bespoke Timber Garage I was looking for a bespoke timber garage to fit an existing concrete base. After considering several local companies I decided to proceed with the Shed Factory. I was not disappointed, David and his team exceeded my expectations!

After being terribly let down by a Cambridge Supplier, we tried every garden centre and specialist in the area. We only wish we knew about you first. Not only did you manage to install in such a short time scale, but the finished article was of a higher quality than any we had seen. Thank you

Quality shed Very pleased with the results of our shed. David helped us design it to our exact specification so that the garden path led exactly to the door on the side we wanted. Nice wood, well built. It was a bit of a nightmare getting the roof down our side passage, but David had warned us to make sure it would fit. We hadn't realised the roof would be a bit bigger than the width of the walls, though it does figure. It took a bit of work, but we got it through and all worked happily after that. Top quality, good price, good service. Highly recommended.

Hassle-free shed triumph Dave and his oppo arrived promptly and punctually, when they said they would, and cleared the ground for the 3m X 2.5m shed we'd designed together. The price went up a bit because the site was on a slight slope and had to be levelled first. But this was fair enough, we thought. They laid the base, took away the old shed then returned next day to erect the new one. They did this quickly and efficiently and - Hallelujah! - tidied up. A hassle-free operation we'd highly recommend.

It is now over 5 months since my 5m x 4m shed was completed and I'm so glad I choose the Shed Factory as most other jobs in recent years left me unsatisfied with suppliers or contractors. Dave Hills made the whole job painless, he overcame issues with access to my garden, completed the build on time & to budget, his staff were quick, quiet & cleaned up behind themselves. But most of all my bespoke requirements were understood and fulfilled exactly with a really good quality finish. They really are an experienced bunch who has the ability & standards to produce a quality building.
Chris Everitt 09 Jun 2018
Very highly recommended Faultless really - a fuss-free process, from discussing and agreeing a custom design, through getting a date for delivery that was met without change, and then construction of the shed itself. Very pleased with the shed and service. Thanks chaps!

our lovely shed Thank you very much for our workshop looks wonderful, thank you again. David and his team undertook everything from start to finish including taking our old shed away and laying a new slab base. We chose the shed factory Cambridge as we was recommended by friends and was so pleased by the whole process. Fast reply's and swift service will recommend to others.

Peter H 28 Mar 2018
We would like to thank you for a job well done. The new shed was made to measure for a rather awkwardly shaped area and was placed perfectly within it with efficiency and cheerful goodwill! It is sturdy and well made and looks good in its little corner.
We were also impressed with the pre-planning/discussion work and the fact that it was completed by the date given.
A truly professional job.
Mrs C Smith 02 Mar 2018
Recommended Very nice shed, good quality, delivered on time. I asked to change a couple of things after installation and Dave did this promptly and at no extra cost. The pricing was competitive with online alternatives and I felt much better about using a local business. In short: 5 stars.

5 Stars. I love my new shed from The Shed Factory, Cambridge. 5 Stars. I love my new shed from The Shed Factory, Cambridge. Thank you David & team. I wanted a small but sturdy shed for a small space in our rear garden to store a few things to free up space elsewhere, a shed that will last for years to come. I also wanted to be able to discuss specification options to help me choose what was right for us. From the outset David could not have been more helpful in offering advice, construction, installation with guttering and dealing with a minor query afterwards. The quality of service was excellent and courteous throughout. Thank you very much. N. Offley Fen Ditton, Cambridge.

Dear David, I write to thank you for my custom-made garden shed which you delivered to me in Bottisham on the 12 October. It's perfect! And much needed in this wet weather. I am impressed with the whole process at the Shed Factory from my creating a rough drawing with dimensions to your building a perfect finished shed. Thank you. Kind regards PS. And the pet rabbit likes it too
