DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY

In Short Metro failed to deliver my summerhouse after OVER 3 MONTHS Initial delivery 4- 6 weeks and fully paid for with a variety of excuses. and lies they asked for a £700.00 re- delivery charge due to the base not being completely level, then £350.00, and finally £100. I cancelled the order, After many emails, more lies and a huge amount of stress caused to me and 3 months late they refunded the amount I paid (£1785) minus £365.00 , which relates to nothing DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY, DESPITE THE GLOWING REVIEWS, EASILY WRITTEN BY THE COMPANY THEMSELVES

We are sorry you feel so aggrieved as we have gone to great lengths to appease you. Please find below our response.
FACT - All our buildings are made to order after we receive full payment.
FACT - We did not receive any payment until Friday 14th August.
FACT - Upon receipt of payment your building was made to your requirements.
FACT - You were told you needed to provide a level solid base on three separate occasions.
FACT - We delivered your building 2 weeks later on Friday 28th August at 9.00 am - Barnsley to Teeside - 196 mile round trip.
FACT - We could not erect your building because your base was 4" out of level.
FACT - You asked us to take the building back until such time as you had rectified the base.
FACT - You were advised there would be a charge for us to return.
FACT - You were quoted £350 return visit fee which is clearly stated on your order form. This is to cover our costs for fuel and labour - a full days' work for 2 men and 196 miles round trip.
FACT - As a goodwill gesture we offered to reduce this to £100, despite it costing us more than this to return.
FACT - You decided to cancel and expected a full refund.
FACT - We have incurred substantial costs. Although we were not obligated to do so as we have done nothing wrong, we have refunded you 80% of your payment which falls short of covering our costs.
FACT - we are disappointed you expect us to bear all these costs ourselves with no contribution from yourself, despite being in this situation due to no fault of our own.

First class service from beginning to end.
2 lads arrived and erected the summerhouse in under 3 hours.
I asked advice on treatment for both inside and out and was given names on great products.

Great company to do business with.

Due to a misunderstanding I was delivered the wrong end for my bar/Shed when the guys came to erect it.
24 hrs and a return visit the shed was up. A few companies could learn a lot about customer service from this team. Absolutely FIRST class service.
Would certainly buy from them again and would recommend them. Thank you for a first class service.

I can highly recommend Metro

I can highly recommend Metro. The lady I spoke with was very helpful. She went through everything, She broke everything down from sizing to different models- and what we needed. The team who came and erected the shed were nothing short of brilliant and helpful. Lovely, happy to help lads. They cleaned up after they had finished, left no mess. Time keeping was on point. No issues with the shed at all. A perfect garden shed for the perfect price! Thanks Metro, I'll be sure to reccommend you going forward.

I am so happy with my new shed thank you.

I am so happy with my new shed. Its good quality looks very nice. Its just what i wanted. I was given good advice when choosing my shed this was helpful. The staff was very helpful. The lads came and erected it the day i wanted, and that was short notice. The did a good job. I will be going back to metro buildings when i have saved up for a bench with a roof on, cant think what the call them. Thank you very much metro buildings. One bit of advice, if your having a wood burner in your shed have a opening window fitted as it gets too warm.

Absolute shambles

We ordered a timber structure in February, 4 weeks before lock-down. We then received a call to say because of the lock-down, the installation had been postponed [fair enough]. A new install date was set. To ensure I had the footings correctly sized, I called them and got the sizes of the post shoes. I then had the foundation built. Two days before installation they called me to say they couldn't now get the quoted sized post shoes - in other words, my fixing points would now be incorrect, leaving me either to risk the fitting or pay someone to return to alter the foundation!. Anyway, it gets worse - on the day of installation, they called to say the fitters had forgotten to load the shoes and could they drop off the timber and return to fit the following week! I had arranged for my family to visit for the first time in over 3 months for a barby and now we get this news. Crying, my wife asked of they could return the following day or the one after that - Metro said no, it would disrupt their plans! Now, bare in mind, I have paid an electrician to rig up power and to return following install to do the second fix, I've paid a joiner to do the base, I've invited the family round, you could imagine we were upset. When I tried to convey this, they slammed the phone down on me! It transpires this was the director of the company! Needless to say I cancelled the order and given that this was ordered through Haydock Garden Buildings, I won't be going back to either which is a shame on Haydock as I've bought numerous things through them and they too, by association will lose any further trade. I even suggested they could have sent someone from their offices to Manchester with the shoes (an hours drive, tops) - at least this tiny inconvenience would have ensured the installation but they never offered this. Absolute shambles from start to finish
