"Pheonix Garden Buildings"

The exibition site near Guildford was extensive and provided a good opportunity to view the product options available. The delivery time was quoted as around 4 months, but this turned out to be over 5 months in the end (down to supply chain issues during the pandemic - was understandable). The communications with Pheonix (the company that actually build the sheds) was excellent and the shed 14'x 8' was delivered as agreed and erected very efficiently in under 3hrs. The only issue was that First Choice Leasure advised that the concrete base should be 3' less in length and width than the shed, while Pheonix said it should be the same as the shed dimensions (which was correct). The construction quality is sturdy and looks like it will stand the test of time.

"The studio"

The studio far exceeded our expectations as the build quality was superb. They installed it in under three hours and left no mess at all. I would highly recommend this company.

"Exceptional Quality"

The Summer house I purchased is of exceptional quality
I had to wait 22 weeks untill it was delivered. I was advised it would take that long and it was worth the wait

"I’m pleased with our building and…"

I’m pleased with our building and satisfied that the time spent at the exhibition site comparing what was available and deciding what to order was well spent.
Although the building was well designed and well constructed, I am glad that I was prepared to spend time finishing it to my own satisfaction. After inspecting the standard of painting on the buildings at the exhibition site, I decided that I would prefer to paint mine myself and I don’t regret that. I’ve had to do couple of other jobs as well. Rain was gaining access to the inside on one of the corners- I think rain was dripping off the barge board at one end and being blown into gaps where the side and back join. I have sealed the gaps with transparent bathroom silicone sealer. We have had a lot of heavy rain and high winds and the cabin hook for the large shed door just couldn’t cope and started pulling away from the door. I’ve put in screws of double the length and fitted a second cabin hook 25 cms long so it can operate at a 45 degree angle and give more rigidity. These aren’t complaints just observations that you need to do a few things yourself to finish the building properly.

"My super new garden building"

My Platinum Fareham building was delivered and installed on 26 January 2021 onto a base built by Ian Day of Timber Installations Ltd. The team of two from Phoenix Garden Buildings in Yorkshire took about two and a half hours to assemble it. This was all done with care and expertise. The result is a superb building that I am sure will last many decades. The structure is strong and the attention to so many details in its construction is obvious. The 20mm loglap boards give it a beautiful finish. Also,we very much like the clear Kesto lacquer and the three shelves we added to the interior. My wife and I are very happy that we found First Choice Leisure Buildings. Craig and his team gave us a great result. Thank you.

"A good experience"

Everything went smoothly, without hiccup or drama. Getting information was straightforward, the shed was delivered and erected on schedule, and it is what I expected. I am happy with it, and would happily repeat the experience.

"Fantastic service"

Very efficient, very quick with installation.
Thank you.

"Top quality shed"

Very smooth process from start to finish. Due to Covid-19 we had to make all the measurements which added some pressure to get it right. Requirements were discussed and we had the opportunity to make an amendment when the first paperwork was received. Installation day arrived and shed was erected really quickly and all went smoothly. Good solid shed which has withstood all the recent rain with no problems. Would recommend without hesitation.

"1st Choice Leisure Buildings. Absolutely fabulous from start to…"

Absolutely fabulous from start to finish.
Purchased an Addlestone Log Cabin from 1st Choice Leisure Buildings at Farnham Showroom assisted by a helpful and delightful lady called Steph.
My wife and me are experienced when it comes to having workmen in our home so were pleasantly surprised when EVERY last detail went to plan and as per their brochure.
The haulier, Grahame turned up on time, was polite and helpful and got his vehicle into the tightest of spaces.
Next day and the installers, Ian and Paul, put in the subframe followed by the cabin installation.
This was all done on freezing cold weather and pouring of rain.
How they managed to finish it looking spotless, having had to work on our muddy lawn I simply don’t know!
Buy your building from these people and you’ll be glad as we are .

"Leisure Building excellent - Phoenix installation poor"

Service from Leisure Buildings was excellent - great advice throughout the process. Construction and installation is through Phoenix Garden Buildings. Although a long lead time due to Covid/demand, we are very pleased with the shed itself. Unfortunately, the rating is diminished by the poor quality of installation: ill fitting door, paint splatter on the windows, crudely installed water butt. I have complained directly to Phoenix Garden Buildings, but received no response.
