Over the years, we got pretty nifty at making outdoor structures and timber buildings for our own farming purposes - stables for the animals, silos for the grain and offices for the workers. And over time, our skill and craftmanship became well known, and people started seeking us out, understanding that we knew how to create timber buildings that withstood the elements and that complemented their outdoor space.
The enquiries grew, slowly but steadily - a home office here, a double-garage there - and then the whole thing start snowballing, leaving precious little time for farming. 30 years on, and we make timber garden buildings to order all over Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset, staying true to our values: bespoke, hand-crafted buildings that look beautiful AND stand the test of time.

Our new garden office is substantially better than I was expecting and I cannot praise the construction and installation highly enough. I thought the buildings were expensive to begin with, but now I think it is money very well spent and the quality speaks volumes. I am absolutely delighted with John Shields as a company and will definitely and actively recommend them. They are real investments.

We keep parrots that are now a protected species and endangered in the wild. We wanted to move them from inside our home to a secure bespoke birdroom where they would have direct access to the aviary. Paul from Shields was great. I sent him a video of the site before he came to see us and then we visited him at Shields to discuss the finer points of the construction, size, insultation, where the door had to be to fit snuggly with the aviary door, the thickness of the frame and insulation etc. No detail was missed. The day arrived for the bird room to be erected. They guys were amazing, so polite

We are delighted with our new garden office from Shield Buildings. The design process was simple and took into account all our needs. Onsite installation was simple, smooth and we have been kept informed by Paul at all stages. Everyone we have dealt with at Shield has been lovely. If you are looking for a quality bespoke building I can highly recommend Shield Buildings.

An excellent product backed up by an experienced team. Our boat store and motorcycle workshop was designed a one-off custom structure. From initial proposals, through design and planning consent and finally to completion, John Shields and his team made this journey as pain-free as possible. The result is a wonderful space which we are looking forward to using for decades to come. The quality of the workshop has been commented upon by more than one building professional. We are truly delighted by the result and would thoroughly recommend Shields Buildings.

We are absolutely delighted with our summerhouse and open sided carport and the service we received from Shields was superb. They took care of the council planning and were happy to incorporate our own ideas into the final designs. The result is two buildings not just perfectly designed for the job but also extremely handsome to look at. Even a small snagging issue was dealt with speedily and effectively and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

We are absolutely delighted with our combination carport and garage. Shields Buildings have provided a first rate service from the initial enquiry through to completion and an aftercare visit to ensure we are 100% happy.
The process was made simple by virtue of the professionalism of all of the team and the quality of the materials and construction. The entire structure of 6x5m was erected in just over a day and a half. Shields made sure we were engaged throughout the process and have delivered in every respect. I recommend them 100% for service, quality, delivery and price.
