Fabulous Customer Service & Product Knowledge

Excellent customer service team, highly delighted with my greenhouse which arrived within 7 days. All components were delivered only one handle damaged but after ringing customer service a new part arrived within 2 days. Thank you, I would not hesitate to recommend - perfect👍

Excellent Company and great quality products.

I looked at various different companies selling simulator products and felt that Access garden products look much better. The construction is extremely good, the frame is sturdy and I liked the additional options to build it to your needs.

I was contacted prior to dispatch to ask about where it could be left and this information was given to the delivery company. Quick dispatch and delivery.

Some of the instructions could have been slightly better in regards to the pictures showing a different pattern of holes, but we got there in the end.

Overall very pleased with my new cold frame, I would recommend Access Garden Products and would use them again.

Great service & back up

Having purchased a value mini lean to greenhouse, we were informed of a delivery schedule and kept updated throughout. It arrived in good order and the assembly instructions were precise and easy to follow. After some weeks one of the top sliding panels was broken (by me!) and I telephoned about a replacement. The lovely lady at Access at first suggested I call a local glazier as they only send packs of 3 replacement frames, to reduce the risk of breakage in transit. I did this and found that local people wanted almost as much for one pane as Access quoted for three. I now have my replacement roof pane and two more in reserve if I'm as clumsy again! I highly recommend Access, both for their product and their back up service.

Excellent company to deal with.

I cannot praise highly enough the service I have received from Access. I have had my Hampton glasshouse for over ten years now and it continues to give pleasure. Several times I have needed to replace various bits which got broken or damaged and my requests for help have always been answered quickly and efficiently. It seems every part can be identified and sent out to arrive within days of requesting it. Superb customer service - thank you Kayleigh and the whole team.

Thanks for you kind review. We pride ourselves on looking after our greenhouses during their long life, so there are not many spares we cannot produce or find an alternative for!

Access for all Green fingers.…

This Business is very efficient at what it does and is extremely customer focused. The whole process of ordering the growhouse was easy and delivery was quick. The product appears robust and was very well packaged with all parts and accessories present. Instructions for installation were very good to some Instructions that I have read. Send for the catalogue, you wouldn't be disappointed!

Access provided excellent after sales support

Access provided excellent customer focused service both for the original product sale and later when, after an accident with a glass door, a replacement was provided in 24 hours. Superb support and cannot recommend Access Garden Products highly enough. Many thanks.

Really pleased with item and service

Really pleased with item and service. Really comprehensive instructions with extra little notes for the odd little questions you may be thinking as you are building it! Good to have the pictures for when you're not quite sure if it looks right! It did take longer to build than we anticipated, probably about 4 hours but well worth it.
I would recommend this company and the products.

We ordered a growhouse and wooden base…

We ordered a growhouse and wooden base and delivery was fine.
Unfortunately the first piece of glass we tried to fit shattered whilst it was being handled which wasn’t a great experience and it took a long time to clear up the mess. Customer services were very good and arranged to have replacement glass sent out saying glass had probably been damaged in transit.
This product takes a LOT of self assembly and whilst we are able to build the frame (fiddly and time consuming), neither of us is willing to fit the glass ourselves and tbh both feel there is a strong possibility there will be more breakages (the shattered glass was a nightmare to clear up) so getting a handyman to do it for us just seems to prolong the bad experience.
We built the raised bed base and whilst it is ok, it doesn’t really fit together very neatly so am kind of disappointed with that as well.
I would be the first to admit that we aren’t the most proficient DIYers but we have never been defeated by self assembly items projects before. We should have enquired about level of competence required before buying it. I didn’t see any guidance on the website or in the brochure so just wanted others to be forewarned.
A very expensive bad experience

Reply from Access Garden Products

I am very sorry to hear of your poor experience with our products, generally we find customers comment that the assembly process is straight forward and the instructions are clear, but they do mention that it is not a quick thing to assemble.

With the toughened glass, it is designed to shatter into small pieces for safety, while it is a pain to clear up if it does break, we feel this is much safer than untoughened glass which breaks into large pieces. Sometimes glass does get damaged on the carrier and so we will always replace a sheet of glass that breaks during assembly.

The reason we still use glass in preference to plastic is two-fold. Glass traps the warmth, producing a warmer frame early in the year. The rigidity and weight of the glass also ensures the frame will not move during storms and strong winds, nor will the panels flex and blow out like plastic sheets.

Once the glass is fitted into the frame it is unlikely to break, so I would urge you to persevere with glazing the frame. Once up and running it will provide a safe haven for plants away from the cold winds.

Glad I didn’t pay for delivery, and misleading images on website but outstanding customer service

Had a discount code from Gardeners World for free delivery and a set of shelf coverings. Contacted customer services who were quick, polite and answered my questions. Ordered on Friday it was despatched the following Friday, delivered and almost built on Monday.

The growhouse looks to be well built, so far has been really easy to build, took 2-3 hours to build the frame and check its square.

Why 4 stars XPD the delivery courier ignored my request to leave the product around the back and instead left it propped up against my gate- even cleared a spot for it to go and I’m glad I got the delivery free. If anything is broken your covered for a replacement.

I’ve just finished fitting the deluxe upgrades to the frame, and I’m not too pleased, I though the misting kit was fitted with metal brackets not some stick on plastic, I’ve looked on the website it clearly shows the misting nozzle held in place with a metal bracket.(they have now noted that a metal bracket is not used to fit the misting kit on my 4ft growhouse). There is also no instructions on why there’s 2 extra handles compared to the supplied 4 short handle but I watched the YouTube videos for their premium and worked it out, I think the deluxe kit is not worth the money £109 and would be able to source the parts for cheaper as mentioned above I would have been fuming had I paid £34 delivery.

My recommendation is get the basic greenhouse (5 star product- instructions are clear concise, packed well, all the bolts are labelled) don’t pay for the upgrade kit (3 star product - overpriced) ACCESS Garden Product customer services is really good, polite and prompt responses to enquiries, quick despatch, let down by couriers quality of service so wait for free delivery code.

The customer services is absolutely outstanding, one of the glass panels ‘exploded’ while I was trying to install it, contacted them to order another pane and a door handle as it was full of glass bits, sent out a new pack of glass and door handle next day. (5 star customer service)

Thanks for the review. I am very sorry to hear the carrier didn't leave it as instructed.

Sorry for the confusion about the bracket, you cannot see the nozzle on that model as it is obscured by the front rail, so the website shows the nozzle from another model. I have added a note to the website to mention that it does not use a metal bracket. In many ways the plastic pad makes a neater fit, but we would be very happy to send a metal bracket for the watering, but it would involve drilling a hole in the rail to fit it.

With the handles, if you take a look at the deluxe upgrade instruction sheet it shows fitting the 6 longer handles to the front glass.

Litchfield Mini Greenhouse

We ordered our greenhouse on line and the responses were really quick and we were our delivery tracking information. Unfortunately the courier company XPD left a lot to be desired and the greenhouse arrived 3 days later than promised. Having said that it has taken us a day to construct it and install it. Very clear instructions, not a piece missing and all glass intact. It really is a nice piece of kit and we would recommend this company to anyone. Just ditch the couriers and it would be a 5 star experience.

Thanks for your feedback. Apologies for the issues we had with your delivery. Due to the nature of the goods, we have to use a specialist carrier that deals with these types of consignments. They have a low damage rate, which is great, but can sometimes take longer to deliver.
Glad to hear you are pleased with your mini-greenhouse. We hope you get many years of enjoyment from using it.

Excellent quality, works as described, a bit pricey.

Excellent quality, sturdy aluminium frame, all parts fit nicely. It took much longer than expected to assemble, especially the automatic louvre panel. Well packed and delivered, options exact as ordered. But definitely not cheap.

Delivery poor

The product is first class but unfortunately the delivery was extremely poor. While the company use XDP courier I am afraid I won’t order from them again. Such a pity because otherwise I would have given five stars.

Thanks for the review. We wish we could find the ideal carrier, but our choice is limited due to the items we ship, most carrier companies are not interested in long lengths and multiple parcels. To give XDP their due they have a much lower breakage rate than any of the other carriers they have used.

Very well thought-out and clever design. Solid construction. Set aside a few hours to enjoy the step by step assembly! Then you’re ready to go!

Top marks for Access's customer service.

Very impressed with Access's speed and efficiency of their damaged glass replacement service.
Our claim was made by telephone, accepted and processed with the absolute minimum of formalities.
The replacement glass arrived within 48 hours, and was very securely and safely packaged.
Top marks for Access's high standard of customer service.

Excellent design and build quality

We purchased a Access Value Wall Frame (lean to) after seeing one at a garden show. Really impressed by the product. No corners cut in design or manufacture so expect the more expensive ones are really amazing. The nuts and bolts seem to be manufactured out of high quality stainless steel and the aluminium profiles seem to be of a high tolerance.

The assembly videos are also really good. The parts all fit together well and the construction is sturdy. As the name suggests, access to plants is really easy and this is all in all a really great product, particularly if you do not have much space.

My only observation is that sometimes they are hard to find within the website but a search engine will generally find them.

I totally recommend the product and will be doing so to friends and relatives.
