Greenhouse Installation Near Me: Finding Local Installers

Finding qualified greenhouse installers in your area requires careful vetting. Not all fitters understand the specific requirements of greenhouse assembly.

Warning: Avoid Unqualified Installers

Generic handymen often lack greenhouse-specific experience. Improper installation can void warranties and create structural problems. Only use manufacturer-approved or certified greenhouse specialists.

How to Find Qualified Greenhouse Installers Near You

Just call Greenhouse Stores, or buy a greenhouse from us with our installation service. This ensures you buy a quality greenhouse, installed by an insured Professional Greenhouse Fitter.

We chose to errect the greenhouse ourselves. We found the instructions easy to follow, and although some aspects were slightly fiddly, we managed to put it all together. Have been using for a month now, and so pleased. Very sturdy, spacious inside, and looks good at the end of my garden. Due to the fantastic weather we have been having using the greenhouse has been a joy to bring on seedlings and young plants. Something I have wanted for years and finally purchased, at a very reasonable price.

There was a good selection, and ordering was easy (including requesting someone to come and put it up for us). I was a bit unclear when my greenhouse was supposed to arrive, and it does take some time. But arrive it did, and a cheerful bunch of guys put it up for us. And it's a lovely greenhouse.

I purchased a Vitavia 6x10 (check the small print it is bigger than that!) I also purchased glazing bar capping and a number of other add ons. However the other add ons don't work terribly well when using the capping so a number of mods required. I would recommen checking although I suspect no-one has thought it through! After widening my base, doing a few adaptions now a loveley Greenhouse! Also the delivery driver (solo) was unwell and only just capable off moving the kit a small distance, I had just had Covid and was suffering after effects - right team!

Fabulous greenhouse. Looks great and great value for money. Instructions a little tricky but we made it work. I’d recommend this greenhouse

I have had such a positive experience dealing with Ian of Greenhouse Stores. I was not quite the customer from hell, but I seemed to be continuously asking Ian for advice, changing my mind, doub;e-checking on things. Ian was always a great communicator and helped in so many ways. He liaised with the manufacturer on my behalf (Elite Greenhouses of Bolton) and organised assemblers. I recommend Greenhouse Stores to anyone who admires my new Elite Titan!
