Need a carpenter to build a garden shed


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Camberwell SE5 here (Myatts Field). My garden shed is old and needs to be replaced. There is a foundation base that has not been used to its full potential. I would like to make a shed (not flatpack, but from the ground up) The foundations are 160cm (W) 290ish (D) as the wall is slightly curved.... Have an image in my head of something with an angled roof (from high on the wall side to low on the garden side) and maybe from corrugated (clear plastic) roofing. But am pretty open to anything - so long as it is functional!

Anytime from mid July to August this year if possible.

Drop me a line and we can make a date or give me a ball park figure of costs.

Cheers

Brett

Hello,


My name is Paul, I have various experience of sheds & also cabin building.


May I ask your reasons for not wanting a flat pack shed? In my experience, they tend to be rather good value, whatever price / quality range you opt for.


Second post up here asking for a scratch built shed, in a month or so. Last guy was unnecessarily rude when I enquired into his motivations. Reasons I could think of would be that you want something super cheap (osb sheets, which wouldn't weather well & would only really be cheaper if you do all the labour yourself) or something really high end, for habitation.


Be happy to discuss with you,


Paul

Ah, OK. Well, I suppose that the reasoning behind it is to make the most of the foundations. And, the back wall curves a bit and is not precisely straight.

Perhaps you are right guys - maybe I should go looking for a flat pack shed and try mu luck with the dimensions.

Thanks for the advice - I'll get back to you if I need some help.


(This is my first post about the shed, so it was not me who was rude!!)

Honestly, laying a new concrete slab is not a big job for a pro. Orders of magnitude simpler than building a bespoke shed from scratch.


Empire sheds are good quality... would look great with a nice coat of paint too.

    • I have lots of good quality stuffed toys that I'd be happy to go to a good home! Please let me know and I'll get them out of the loft. 
    • I booked a last minute appointment today for an eye shape as a bit of a treat as my family and I have a lot going on - cancer, dementia - so I fancied a little pick me up today. However, I left Dr Boo's feeling the exact opposite!  As soon as I had arrived at the beauticians a lady greeted me with a scowling face and basically started shouting at me saying that I was late. Apparently, she was the manager of the place! 😞 My first reaction was to apologise as I had found it difficult to park and therefore I assumed that trying to find a parking space had taken longer than I had thought.  But she continued to tell me off/shout at me - even after I'd apologised - so I calmly pointed out to her that I didn't think her behaviour or attitude was an appropriate way to greet a customer!   I then went upstairs with the actual beautician who did my eye brow shape. She was deeply embarrassed by her manager's outburst and exceedingly apologetic - btw she was also an excellent beautician who did a brilliant job shaping my eye brows. 5 stars for her!  When I got upstairs there was clock in the treatment room which said 12.18 - my appointment was at 12.15! Taking into account the altercation downstairs, plus walking up the stairs to the treatment room it seems that I wasn't actually late for my appointment at all! (See attached photo).  When I went back downstairs I spoke with the rude manageress and said I want to make an official compliant, and showed her the photograph of the clock saying 12.18 and asked her why she had she been so rude to me when I wasn't even late. TBH even if I had been late I still shouldn't have been shouted at in that way.  Her response was to say that the clock in the treatment was wrong and her watch was right and that I was at least 5 minutes late!? Even if that had been the case, no-one warrants that treatment.  I have never left a negative review before now, however,  when I tried to get hold of the owner of the beauticians to complain, the number I'd been given didn't work. Surprise, surprise.  So, Dr Boo I'd suggest you immediately put your manageress on a training course.  And perhaps the owner could give me a call to apologise!  No stars for the rude, and completely in the wrong manageress, but 5 stars for the lovely beautician who actually gave me an eye brow shape.
