Lovely greenhouse

Lovely greenhouse and great customer service. Found it quite difficult to build, but I think that’s more due to my mediocre DIY skills than the greenhouse itself. Fantastic customer service who sent us out a replacement glass panel as we broke one during building.

Also, save yourself multiple weekends of work and buy the pre-painted version!

POOR DELIVERY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE

POOR DELIVERY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
The delivery of the shed was disorganised chaos. The man did not know what parts belonged to what shed and initially unloaded all of the parts for a different shed, which we luckily spotted. Mid-way through building the shed, we noticed several parts random parts missing. We had to go out and repurchase parts so that we could actually fix the roof to the shed. Shire are now refusing to reimburse us for this, despite the fact that this is all a consequence of their poor delivery service in the first place. The only solution is sending me replacement parts that I no longer need. There is a complete disregard for the inconvenience that has been caused as a result of their sub-standard delivery process. The shrugging of the shoulders approach is extremely unattractive when I have now spent the best part of £400 on a shed and now wasting so much time going back and forth with the customer service team. Very disappointing.

Hi Ella,

We’re really sorry to read your review and for the experience you’ve described, particularly the issues during delivery and the disruption this caused to your build. We fully appreciate how frustrating it must have been, especially given the time pressure and weather concerns.

We’ve reviewed your order and can confirm that replacement parts were arranged as soon as the missing items were reported to us and were dispatched on the fastest available service. Where parts are reported missing or required, our standard process is to supply replacements directly, which is the resolution we put in place here.

We do understand that, due to the urgency, you chose to source alternative materials locally in order to complete the roof. However, as we had already arranged replacements to resolve the issue, we’re unfortunately not able to reimburse third-party purchases made independently.

In terms of the delivery itself, the experience you’ve outlined is not what we expect from our delivery teams. Your feedback has been passed internally so this can be reviewed, as we do take these concerns seriously.

We’re sorry again for the inconvenience caused and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. If there’s anything further you’d like us to look into, please contact us directly and we’ll be happy to assist.

We’re delighted to hear you’re happy with the quality of the arbour, and it’s great to know your installer also recognised the standard of the timber. We’ll also pass your comments on to our delivery team, as they’ll be pleased to hear your feedback.

Thanks again for your recommendation, it genuinely means a lot. If you ever need anything in the future, we’re always here to help.

Excellent support from the team

Excellent support from the team, anything missing and it’s sent out straight away, I bought the Emneth 10x10, doors are flimsy but in all I’m very pleased with it, I also bought a rubber roof and metal edges as the felt is not man enough for the building but I am pleased with how it all came together

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review, it’s really appreciated.

We’re glad to hear the team were able to support you quickly with any missing parts and that you’re pleased overall with how your Emneth 10x10 came together.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the doors and roofing. The supplied felt is intended as a standard covering, but many customers do choose to upgrade to alternatives like rubber roofing for added longevity, so it’s great to hear that worked well for you.

Thanks again for your feedback, and if you ever need anything in future, just let us know.

Hi Garry,

We’re sorry to read your review and that your experience didn’t meet expectations.

From the information we have, you contacted us to advise of damaged parts following delivery, and we responded to request the relevant part references so we could arrange replacements for you as quickly as possible. Once these were provided, we were ready to send out the required parts in line with our standard aftercare process.

We understand you chose to source replacement materials yourself in order to complete the build without delay. While we appreciate the urgency, our process is to supply replacement parts directly, and we weren’t given the opportunity to resolve this for you before this was done.

In terms of the product itself, all of our buildings are manufactured from natural timber, and any concerns raised are always reviewed and addressed through replacement parts or remedial support where required.

We’re sorry again for the inconvenience caused and the initial delivery delay you experienced. Your feedback has been shared internally. If you would like us to revisit this with you, please contact us directly and we will be happy to assist further.

Hi,

Thank you for your review, and I’m really sorry to hear this has been ongoing.

I completely understand how frustrating it must be to be missing the final piece, especially after being told it’s on the way. This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide.

If you’re able to, please send us a quick message with your order details so we can look into this properly and get it resolved for you as a priority.

Apologies again for the delay, and we’ll make sure this is followed up.

Hi,

Thank you for your lovely review, we’re so pleased to hear your granddaughter is enjoying her new playhouse, what a great birthday present!

We’re sorry for the disappointment regarding the decking. Some of our models do have optional extras available, and we appreciate it may not always be clear at the point of purchase.

If it’s something you’d still like to add, please feel free to get in touch and we can look into the options available for you.

Thanks again for your feedback.

Svar fra Shire Garden Buildings

Hi,

Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear you felt the delivery was slow.

I can see your order was placed on 20th March, and an email was sent the same day inviting you to select and confirm a delivery date. However, a delivery date wasn’t chosen until 15th April. By that time, our lead times had changed, which is why the next available slot was later than expected.

We always recommend booking delivery as soon as possible after receiving the booking link, as availability can change depending on demand.

If there’s anything further we can help with, please do let us know.

Wonderful arbour seat delivered on time by very friendly driver. Good quality wood, good construction and very comfortable. Step-by-step construction manual is excellent - my partner can build anything and thought he didn't need it but... he did! I had to put him right a couple of times by following the manual - thank you! :)

The shed arrived mouldy, do not recommend

The shed arrived mouldy. Many panels were thickly coated with mould. We asked for £50 to cover the costs of the mould remover and solutions (receipt as evidence), but they refused to compensate us.

**In response to their reply here:
We took a sample piece to B&Q who confirmed it to be mould and they helped us find the right products for treatment.
We did not receive a pre arranged collection time or date.
We should not have had to have spent extra money on this already very expensive shed.

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for your review, and I’m sorry to hear you were unhappy with your experience.

Having reviewed the images, the marking shown is consistent with surface mould, which can occur on dip-treated timber due to it being a natural material stored and transported in varying weather conditions. This is cosmetic only and does not affect the structure or durability of the building, and can be treated easily with standard timber cleaner or treatment.

We do appreciate this isn’t ideal to see on delivery, however in line with our policy we offered to arrange a collection and full refund. As the building has been kept, we’re unable to offer partial compensation, and any refund would need to be processed via your retailer.

With regard to the collection, this was booked in advance and notifications are issued ahead of time, although we appreciate your feedback regarding the timing.

If you do decide you would prefer for us to collect the building for a full refund, please let us know and we’ll be happy to arrange this for you.

Do not expect communication with delivery

No communication at all with delivery, no email or call. Eventually had an email 31 minutes before it was delivered at 8.31am when we were all in work. All the plastic beading missing to add to matters, called customer service to arrange for replacement with a piece of broken glass in a weeks time and then they do not deliver the beading only the glass!!!

Hi Phil,

Thank you for your review, and I’m really sorry to hear about your experience.

We do send out a delivery notification on the morning of delivery, however I appreciate in your case this didn’t give you enough notice and caused inconvenience. Your feedback on this is noted as we’re always looking to improve communication where possible.

In regard to the beading, this is supplied separately from the glass and is typically packed within the main building components rather than with the glazing itself. From the correspondence, it doesn’t appear this had been confirmed clearly, so I can understand why this was frustrating—especially when the follow-up delivery only included the replacement glass.

If the beading is still missing, please let us know and we’ll get this arranged for you as quickly as possible.

Apologies again for the inconvenience caused, and if there’s anything further we can do to help, just let us know.

Cabin was delivered to a wrong address with no signature from myself
Contacted customer service and was told it could not be collected and delivered to the correct address it would have to be sent back to the depo and I would have to re order the cabin as the price has gone up in this product

But it is being resolved though Shire Directly and swiftly
Many thank to the Shire team

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear of your disappointment regarding your recent order.

Having reviewed the matter, the cabin was delivered to the address provided at the time the order was placed, in line with the delivery details submitted to us by the retailer. As we fulfilled delivery to the contracted address supplied on the order, we are unfortunately unable to collect and re-deliver the building to an alternative location.

We appreciate this is frustrating if the incorrect delivery address was entered when ordering, however any amendments to delivery details would need to be made prior to dispatch. Should the item need to be reordered to a new address, this would need to be processed as a new purchase via the retailer.

We apologise for any disappointment caused and appreciate your understanding.
