5 Best Shed Builders in London (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

A shed in London is rarely just a shed anymore. It might be a home office, a gym, or somewhere to keep the bikes out of the rain, and the shed builders on this page have logged 673 Google reviews between them installing exactly that. Ratings run from 4.2 up to a clean 5.0, and the gap says less about quality than about what each business actually builds.

Short answer: London Town Cabins is the only perfect scorer here, 5.0 stars across 73 reviews, and it specialises in bespoke garden rooms and studios rather than storage sheds. For a straightforward shed or fence, GreenFellas Garden Fencing North London carries the deepest track record on this page at 4.8 stars across 232 reviews. Expect a basic shed install to run into the low thousands of pounds, with bespoke garden rooms costing considerably more.

GreenFellas Garden Fencing North London

4.8232 Google reviews

GreenFellas Garden Fencing North London is a fence contractor and landscape designer working across the North London boroughs of Camden, Islington, Haringey and Enfield. Its focus is new garden fence installation, fence repair, and wooden garden gates, run by a small team led by Dave. It is the most-reviewed business on this list and one of the few here built specifically around fencing rather than sheds or garden rooms.

What people praise

Reviewers repeatedly name Dave and the crew as courteous and easy to deal with
Jobs completed in a single day even on awkward, overgrown boundary lines
Team helps neighbours with shared queries, not just the paying customer
Extras like hedgehog highways built into the fence on request

Worth knowing

Fencing-focused, so it is not the right call if you need a full timber cabin or shed
A handful of lower-star reviews sit alongside the mostly five-star base

Our take: The deepest review history on this page and the safest call for a straightforward garden fence job in North London, though it is a fencing specialist first, not a shed builder in the traditional sense.

The Shed Centre

4.4190 Google reviews

The Shed Centre is a Mitcham-based garden building supplier stocking sheds, summerhouses, playhouses and kennels, with a showroom on London Road that customers can visit before ordering. Reviewers describe staff removing and clearing away old sheds as part of the install, not just dropping off a flat-pack. It leans toward the classic definition of a shed rather than the bespoke garden-room end of the market.

What people praise

Installers dismantle and remove the old shed as part of the job
Staff at the Mitcham showroom help first-time buyers pick the right size
Custom touches available, like detachable gables for properties with no rear access
Itemised, clearly explained quotes before the work starts

Worth knowing

Rating sits lower than most others on this list, at 4.4
A few reviewers note longer lead times of four to five weeks in busier months

London Timber Buildings

4.868 Google reviews

London Timber Buildings is a family-run garden building supplier based in Denham, Uxbridge, building bespoke garden rooms, log cabins and annexes with a showroom customers can visit before ordering. Reviewers highlight the balance it strikes between a premium finish and cost, and several mention buying an ex-display cabin directly from the site. It has been through changes in circumstance over the years, including COVID-era delays some reviewers mention.

What people praise

Reviewers call out the quality of materials, including double-glazed doors and windows
Ex-display cabins available at a discount for buyers who don't need a fully bespoke build
Office staff described as patient with undecided or first-time buyers
Construction crews work efficiently even in poor weather

Worth knowing

One review notes a COVID-era order took longer than usual, so ask current lead times up front
Smaller review count than the two most-reviewed names on this list

Our take: A strong middle-ground pick for a log cabin or annexe with a showroom you can actually walk through, and the ex-display option is worth asking about if budget matters.

How we score

Every number on this page comes straight from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have actually rated them, measured against the other shed builders and garden-building suppliers on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 built on dozens of reviews carries a different level of certainty than a 4.8 built on hundreds. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a shed or garden building cost in London? (2026)

Pricing for shed and garden-building work in London varies enormously depending on the size, materials, and whether you want a basic storage shed or a fully insulated garden room. None of the businesses on this page publish a fixed price list we can cite directly, so treat the figures below as general market guidance rather than a quote from any specific company here.

Serving all of London

The businesses above cover London broadly, with particular strength across North London (Camden, Islington, Haringey, Enfield), South London (Mitcham, Streatham) and the western fringe out toward Uxbridge. Searching for a shed builder near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number so you can check coverage for your specific postcode fast.

What to ask before you hire a shed builder

Is the quote for a standard shed, or is this a bespoke build with a design process?
What is the current lead time from order to installation?
Do you handle removal and disposal of an existing shed?
Is planning permission likely to be needed for the size or use I have in mind?
What is covered by the warranty on materials and workmanship?
Can I see a completed example near my postcode or visit a showroom?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these shed builders?

We started from the shed builders and garden building suppliers with a public Google presence in London, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

What is the difference between a shed and a garden room?

A shed is typically basic outdoor storage, while a garden room is insulated and fitted out for use as an office, gym or studio. Several businesses here, including London Town Cabins and London Timber Buildings, specialise in the garden-room end of the market rather than plain sheds.

Do I need planning permission for a garden shed in London?

Most standard-sized garden sheds fall under permitted development, but size, height and proximity to boundaries can change that. London Town Cabins mentions helping customers navigate planning permission where it applies, and it is worth confirming with any builder before you order.

How long does a shed or garden building take to install?

Reviewers describe timelines from a single day for a straightforward shed swap to several weeks for a bespoke garden room, with lead times sometimes stretching further during busy seasons. Confirm the current schedule when you get a quote.

The bottom line

If you want a plain garden shed, GreenFellas or The Shed Centre are the proven, high-volume names to call. If you are building something you will actually spend time in, London Town Cabins’ perfect rating makes it the standout, with London Timber Buildings a close second for a log cabin or annexe. Get a written quote and a firm lead time before you commit either way.
