From the reviews, I was anticipating a much better level of customer service than we received. We impressed upon them that we were genuine customers and needed a 'granny annex' for elderly parents... See more

The quality of the garden studio is impressive

The quality of the garden studio is excellent. The instructions could have been more easy to follow though, as some of the diagramatic illustrations are confusing. The wood is quite knotty so be prepared to use plenty of anti-knotting solution and filler for small imperfections.

Fantastic service from summerhouse24

Fantastic service from summerhouse24. They sent two guys out from Northampton to Sunderland to rectify a warped log that wouldn't fit. Few days later I realised the build was too much for me so they organised a team to come out within a week to finish the summerhouse for a slightly reduced fitting fee seeing as I was already some way through the build. The customer service was outstanding and we are delighted with the quality of the cabin and would not hesitate to recommend them.

I self built and it went together very nicely, not to be undertaken unless you have a reasonable understanding of construction or engineering perhaps. Definitely needs 2 persons. The only issue, I phoned their helpline for advice once and they did not call back. Ensure that you make the base as instructed and get the base beams dead square! When building up the areas around window slots and door slots, it appears to be very wobbly but once you get the top beam on and slot the windows in it all comes square. (The windows and doors go in after!

Dear Richard

Thank you for your positive review and feedback. Apologies if we did not call you back when calling our helpline. It sounds like you enjoyed the build process and can be very satisfied with your efforts. We definitely recommend two people for building to ensure everything gets lined up. Interesting you mention the walls seeming wobbly until the roof joists go on, we have received calls about this before and then as you say, the joists immediately firm it all up and the cabin really takes shape.

Enjoy!
Best Regards

We are very happy with the service we received ,the quality of the product is great. Very slight problem with the window frames becoming warped. Excellent delivery and advice given by delivery driver to use a cargo strap was invaluable.
Instalation instructions could be improved .However anymtime we rang for advice this was answered quickly and professionally with further instruction sent.Also you tube was pretty handy.
We are over the moon with how the jacob E with canopy looks in our garden.looks very expensive finished product.

Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. We appreciate your feedback and the five stars :-). We are always adding to our installation instructions as we receive feedback and you are on point about Youtube as we have just started to film a series of short videos to assist with installing specific items, such as doors and windows that we know can sometimes be tricky.

Enjoy your cabin!

Delighted!

I can't fault it. The shed I bought was beautifully made and all fitted together well. The standard of design was excellent with high quality components. Unexpected detail, such as the metal sheet covering for the door sill. The timber itself is of excellent quality.
This is all well supported by customer support line open every day, with knowledgeable staff. When I ran out of sheets for the roof shingles, they sent two more through the post, no quibble.
It's such a high standard building, I am almost embarrassed to be using it just as a shed! Thank you SummerHouse24.

Jacob E summer house

Overall from the purchase through to delivery, Summerhouse24 were fantastic. We bought the Jacob E 12m2. It’s extremely sturdy and well thought out and looks fantastic. We are very pleased with the final results. Customer services kept us informed and up to date with delivery. We built the cabin ourselves and I would recommend having some building experience, however it’s very possible to build without.

Really happy with the quality of the log cabin and enjoyed building it. All packed and wrapped and delivered on time. All components there. Only minor quibble would be that the instructions were not the easiest to follow (for those building themselves).

Dear Stephen

Thank you for your review and good feedback. Great to hear how pleased you are with the cabins quality. We have recently updated our assembly instructions to make them easier to use by first time cabin builders as we understand it can be a bit more complex than it may seem in theory. We are also creating some video tutorials of specific details on some models that are more complex to make it easier to self build. Please feel free to send us any specific feedback / ideas on how we can improve the instructions to info@summerhouse24.co.uk.

Enjoy your cabin and the sense of achievement having built it yourself!

All the best, SH24 Team

Good Company to order from and a great product, friendly and helpful staff

Ordering was easy, the helpful guys went through all the options, and made sure I ended up with what I wanted. Delivery was on time, and the driver managed to get it onto my drive. I have built the summer house and it looks great, just like the picture on the website.

We highly recommend SummerHouse 24. Oliver and Jacob were very helpful and were clear with the delivery dates.
We bought the Barbados summer house which is of a high quality.
The installation team were absolutely fabulous - very hard working and tidy.

We love our summerhouse

We love our summerhouse. The whole purchase, delivery and build was seamless. In fact the summerhouse was delivered and put up a month early. The team who built it were very professional and it was completed in a day.

Dear Becky

That is excellent to hear that your cabin was delivered and installed a month early. There have been so many delays this past six months due to knock on effects of the pandemic and wood supply shortages that it is refreshing to read a good news story!

Thank you.

Summerhouse installed is shockingly bad. Installation team unprofessional and behaved appallingly on our property. Many defects which await fixing as teams continually cancel. Very rude stafff. Do not waste your hard earned cash.

I purchased a 7meter cabin with canopy…

I purchased a 7meter cabin with canopy in January, it was delivered 7 weeks later, when I started to construct it it was different to the papers Summerhouse 24 sent me after I had put a deposit down, the cabin I received had smaller windows and the building paperwork did not match the ones Summerhouse 24 had already sent me. The only reason I ordered from these people was that I liked the look of this cabin, the one I received had smaller length windows, I did question wether it was a returned cabin as the window fittings where all scratched and one window handle was broken.
When I complained about my cabin I was sent 2 chairs and a small table set, something I didn’t want, Customer service people Oliver and John apologised for this and said they had changed there suppliers and the cabins were a bit different, I said surely I should have been aware of this and told, they have just laughed and done nothing since, no replying to my emails or phone calls, Customer service is disgraceful and very unprofessional.
I had to buy extra wood to make sliding doors fit, this is why I am sure it was an old cabin kit. These people did not offer to reimburse me for all the extra wood I had to purchase from Travis Perkins to make the sliding doors fit.
If I had to purchase another cabin I would definitely not buy or recommend these people at Summerhouse24, very disappointed with the whole experience of dealing with these rude dishonest people.
Will be adding this to my Facebook so more people are aware of this company, what really gets me is that I have been very polite with my emails and as soon as I complained and said I want some kind of compensation I get no response at all, very rude and unprofessional
STAY WELL CLEAR

Rubbish service

Went to make a purchase, no one would speak to us at the Devon branch so I went and purchased my summer house/sauna from someone one els.

Answer to your reply.
I am not going to spend a substantial amount of many for a summer house without face to face contact, I want to know who you are before shelling out £20.000+ which by the way can be done safely and with masks and If your so concerned about covid try putting some hand sanitizer in the emty bottle at the gate. My wife and I was totally ignord dispite attempting to get your attention.
The one star stays.

Dear Paul

Due to the current social distancing regulations during the Covid-19 pandemic we are not currently offering face to face appointments at our display sites. The sites are open and the cabins available to have a walk around and see the styles and quality. We are handling all enquiries / sales by phone or email and are happy to answer any questions by phone when visiting one of our sites. We are doing this for two reasons:

1. To keep our staff and customers safe. While you may have travelled to the area safely and only visit the display site today, we may welcome 30 - 40 people daily. This puts any staff members at increased risk of contracting the virus and also of passing it on to visitors.

2. Some of our team are currently working from home still. There has been such an uplift in demand since the pandemic started that we simply cannot sit down with every customer. We can handle enquiries a lot more efficiently by phone and email as we have all the information to hand. If we had three staff all engaged at the display site with customers, the only way we could speak to you is if you called the central sales number shown on the signage.

We have checked and cannot see any record of prior contact from you by email and if you called to see if the site was open, we do always let people know that there is nobody available to speak to at the display sites and to call our number when on site.

Please consider removing your review or increasing the star rating as it is not a true reflection of the service we offer or at all sympathetic to some of the constraints businesses are currently working with.

Best Wishes
