“I ordered a Shire Hampton corner summerhouse from Elbec on sunday 22nd of May 2016. On the monday, I received a comformation email and details of how to arrange delivery. Unbelievably, I was offered a delivery date for Wedsnesday 25th of May, alas, we weren't available that day, but arranged for it to be delivered on Saturday the 28th. A Saturday delivery AT NO EXTRA COST!! The summerhouse duly arrived and was delivered by a very nice, helpful and friendly man who had just driven all the way from Kings Lynn to West Sussex..mostly in the rain! This company, together with Shire cannot be praised enough for their efforts. I was fully expecting to have to wait several weeks for the summerhouse to arrive, but the service was wonderful and I cannot recommend both of these companies enough. Thank you Elbec for your wonderful service .”
“Make sure you have a really good LEVEL concrete foundation. Make sure you have a mate to help you. Make sure you have at least 4 hours. Read instructions carefully and identify pieces BEFORE you start. It is very difficult to make it watertight once you have erected it against a wall! Good alternative to a wooden shed. We put a peg board on the back wall to utilize the space better. Didn't bother with a padlock. If someone wants to get in, they only have to undo a few screws on the side panel”
“Highly recommended for anyone wanting to invest in an out building or shed, Fantastic service with speedy delivery time. Need a day off work to put shed together but totally worth the money.”
“We have received two sheds from Elbec garden buildings and they delivered when they said they would, and we are very pleased with the quality of the goods. We would be very happy to buy from again.”
“Quality of building is very high and staff were fantastic during the ordering making sure we had everything. Arranged delivery easily and delivered as arranged (he could have done with a second man to help). Easy to put up and looks amazing.”
“We ordered a 10'x8' summerhouse from Elbec Garden Buildings because their list price was £200 cheaper for a Shire building than other suppliers. They kept me informed right up to the delivery, which was well within the informed time slot. I'm glad that I elected to assemble the building myself because it meant that I could treat the timber with wood preservative. It took more than 20 litres. The quality of the wood finish is pretty rough in quite a few places. This maybe ok for a garden shed but not a summerhouse. So quite a bit of 'fettling' was needed to remove these rough edges. The window beads were even worse, but because they give you plenty of spares you can select enough to do the job. Apart from these few negatives, the summerhouse is a resounding success and we are really glad we bought it.”
“From order to delivery I can only rate Elbec very high! The website is easy to navigate and the ordering process straightforward and their pricing is good, too Delivery dates are adhered to and drivers friendly and helpful Have used Elbec on several occasions and will probably use them again in the future”
“Managed to erect it in a week-end with the help of a friend. The finished product is of excellent quality but one word of caution; after three weeks, when strimming the lawn, a flying stone shattered the side piece toughened glass in a million pieces - a costty £65 to replace! Question; Why is their no warning of this eventuality in any of the blurb ? Advice to prospective buyers - "Don't use a lawn strimmer within firing range or at least cover the glass with a piece of plywood"”
“Great product that was fairly easy to put together with clear instructions, needed two people though for most of the build. Floor gives that extra protection for items stored and transparent light roof lets you see all.”
“It would be helpful if he screw holes were pre drilled. Because the diagrams were not clear I drilled holes in the wrong place. Also It was only after I had erected the shed that I spotted the comment about sealing the joints - This should have been at the start of the instructions!!”
“This has been an excellent experience from start to finish. The delivery took place as arranged and I would have completed construction in one day if it had not been for the weather. Good quality materials and the instructions were simple and easy to follow. I can highly recommend the product and the company”
“Bought a 5' by 4' Elite Streamline Greenhouse in a brown finish with toughened glass from Elbec. They gave me the best price compared to any other distributor. Delivered on the date promised. Extremely pleased with it. High quality items which went together very well and it looks superb. However it does take a weekend to construct! I would thoroughly recommend one purchased via Elebec.”
“Very impress with the company and their service. Simple straightforward website without useless bells & whistles. Great unbeatable pricing. Shed arrived earlier than promise. Good quality product.”
“Set up on concrete fence post ,followed instruction,up and finished in two days on my own very happy with the quality and price ,now being used for garden tools have added a work bench shelving and lights.”
