About Waltons

Written by the company

At Waltons, we believe outdoor spaces hold more than tools - they hold possibility. It can be a studio, a hideaway, a workshop, or a quiet corner for daydreaming. We’re here to make that space easy to create - with quality garden buildings delivered to your door and all the advice and support you need to bring your outdoor vision to life. Out here, the smallest spaces can unlock the biggest ideas. We’re here to help make it happen.


We’ve been building things for the outdoors since 1878 - long before garden sheds were a household staple. It all started with E.C. Walton, a bee-keeping lecturer who began crafting affordable beehives for his students. When local farmers saw his carpentry skills, they came calling for chicken coops, and soon Walton Muskham Beehive Works was born.


From those early days in Nottinghamshire, we’ve spent over 140 years learning how to design and deliver high-quality garden buildings that stand the test of time. What began with beehives has grown into sheds, summerhouses, and spaces that help people make more of their outdoors.


When you choose Waltons, you’re not only investing in high-quality products - you're choosing expert design, time-tested durability, and a customer-first commitment that sets us apart. Here’s why thousands of homeowners continue to trust Waltons for their outdoor space.

I keep getting asked to leave reviews despite having a bad experience

I keep getting asked to leave reviews about my experience when I have already. My experience was awful, and I received a cheap and poor quality shed. I do not recommend this company, and despite what they responded in my previous message - I did contact them prior to my review but this wasn’t acknowledged or responded to.

The overall look is great

The overall look is great when finished, which took 3 of us 2 days. The issues. The internal roof truss is not long enough so it pulls in the top diagonals, some screws were missing (just the black ones), some wood was bent. The delivery came in 2 parts because they forgot the veranda on the first delivery. No instructions so had to download them. Customer service was great though. Windows easily mark because they are perspex. Some of the instructions were excellent some very vague.

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY

Truly shambolic. Avoid Waltons at all costs.
I ordered a 5ft x 7ft shed with no windows through B&Q, fulfilled by their “trusted seller” Waltons. What actually arrived on 23 June bore almost no resemblance to what I paid for: wrong dimensions, windows fitted when I had explicitly ordered none, not even glazing in the windows that shouldn’t have existed in the first place, multiple components simply missing, and — for a roof — a single roll of felt. It was, frankly, unusable junk.
My 75-year-old father had travelled down from Manchester specifically to help me build it, and was devastated to see what had actually been delivered — a wasted trip he should never have had to make.
What followed was over five weeks of relentless, exhausting back-and-forth, fighting through Waltons’ own logistics portal despite providing clear photographic evidence from day one. Part of that time I was on holiday abroad in Turkey, and instead of relaxing I was stuck dealing with their emails and chasing this up. This wasn’t a minor mix-up they moved quickly to fix; it took repeated chasing and an explicit threat of small claims court action before anyone treated it with any urgency at all. The refund didn’t land until 29 July — more than five weeks after the original delivery, for a product that was wrong in almost every respect.
If you’re weighing up ordering from Waltons, take the negative reviews seriously — mine is further proof of how badly this can go, and how slow and drawn-out it is to get it resolved even when the fault is entirely on their side.
I won’t be using Waltons again, and I’d urge anyone else to think twice before they do.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused by the incorrect delivery and the time it took to resolve. We understand how disappointing this must have been, particularly after your father had travelled to help with the build. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

It is impossible to check at the reception if all the parts are there especially when there are 100s. It is up to the company to do a proper check before it leave the warehouse. Parts were missing so it tools 3 weeks before they were delivered. The wood stayed on the ground and they got all twisted. The plan is too complicated they need to do a video about the pent shed . I would not recommend this company to anyone . My builders too 1 day and 1/2 to build the shed to greater cost for me .

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be when parts are missing from a delivery, particularly when this delays the assembly of your building.

Our products undergo quality checks before leaving our warehouse, however we appreciate that, on occasion, issues can occur and we're sorry for the inconvenience caused while the replacement parts were arranged.

We also appreciate your comments regarding our assembly instructions. Customer feedback is invaluable, and we will pass your suggestion for a dedicated installation video for the pent shed on to the relevant team for consideration.

We regret that the delays resulted in additional costs and appreciate you taking the time to bring your experience to our attention. Your feedback helps us identify where we can improve both our products and our service.
