Extremely robust

Last night our new greenhouse (installed October 2023) had its first real wind test during storm Isha. Despite the fact that the strongest gusts in the whole of the UK (99mph) were recorded just a few miles from us, the greenhouse sustained no damage whatsoever. Impressed and relieved in equal measure. Thank you Cultivar!

Wow, that's a proper real world test for any structure let alone a greenhouse. At Cultivar we have fitted thousands of greenhouses over the years, many of which are in exposed locations. All are still standing strong which is a testament to the robust design. I have no doubt that your review will offer some reassurance to any customers considering a cultivar greenhouse, particularly those that live in exposed locations. So thank you for taking the time to tell us and all the best for Spring.

There are Greenhouses and then there are Greehouses. Cultivar are most definitely the latter!

Whilst at Hampton Court Flower Show, we stuck our head into the Cultivar stand to congratulate them on what we thought was the best looking Greenhouse at the show. Little did we expect, that by the end of the week, we had bought one.
Literally at every point of the purchasing and installation process, we were impressed. Terrific Customer Service, fabulous build quality and at every point we were speaking or meeting to lovely people who are great ambassadors of the brand.
Then we have the Greenhouse itself.......superb and unrivalled quality - we can wait for the Spring to see it come to life.
You will struggle to get a better experience or quality product elsewhere, we cannot recommend this team and Greenhouse enough!!!!
Thank you all so much.

Thank you Dave for taking the time to review your new greenhouse and experience with Cultivar. We like the shows as the product tends to speak for itself. We do of course recognise that it's not just about having a good product and we're very lucky here that we have a great team behind us too. All the best for the new growing season and we hope to meet you again at the show next year.

Excellent product; super company to deal with

Needed a greenhouse to fit in a south-facing corner abutting two walls at 90 degrees. After being told by several companies that they could not help us with this we contacted Cultivar. Joe in particular was extremely helpful, liaising with us repeatedly until we were certain that our desired style of greenhouse would achieve all we wanted of it. Once the design was finalised, the lead time was only a few weeks. We were given an installation date several weeks in advance and this was adhered to. During installation, Joe, Tom & Ruka worked tirelessly through two days of pouring rain and remained cheerful throughout. We are really really pleased with the result. It wasn't cheap - but the quality is superb and the company was a pleasure to deal with.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for your new greenhouse Lisa. Certainly it's not always plain sailing when opting to put a greenhouse in a corner. There's a lot to consider and I'm pleased we were able to work with you to deliver a greenhouse you're happy with. Credit is due to the fitting team too who are able to put on a smile whatever the weather. Thank you for choosing cultivar and all the best with your new greenhouse.

Too Good to Miss!

We considered several manufacturers and types of greenhouses and eventually settled for the modern plant house with porch in aluminium from Cultivar. We are very pleased that we did.

From our first meeting with Daniel in March until the final assembly ten days ago, we found the service and help given by all of the staff that we dealt with to have been excellent.

Now having spent three days helping with the assembly we learned to appreciate the absolute precision with which the structure had been designed and built. It slotted together like a jigsaw; very impressive for such a complicated structure.

It is only now that the structure is complete that we can appreciate the thought that has gone into the design of the shelving, vents etc. We can see that it is the product of years of experience and careful design.

Well done the Cultivar team.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Stephen. As with any product there are always improvements that can be made over time and we consider and often debate every change very carefully so your comments ring very true. It's takes a lot of work to get the thousands of components that go into the design to work in unison which ultimately comes down to the skill and dedication of the staff here at cultivar. We're very proud and appreciate your business. Thanks for choosing cultivar and all the best with your new greenhouse.

EXCEPTIONAL

Today is exactly one year since our Cultivar Victorian greenhouse was installed by Duncan and Simon. If I had to choose a word to sum up our experience from initial enquiry through to the first 12 months post installation it has to be - EXCEPTIONAL.

We did our homework when it came to choosing our new greenhouse and closely compared the Cultivar offering against a number of other premium greenhouse suppliers. Throughout this initial phase Daniel was excellent and responded rapidly and in detail to our many questions, even when the line of questioning suggested to Daniel that we could be the client-from-hell??!! We were delighted that the Cultivar product and level of service were just exemplary and gave us confidence to place an order for a bespoke Victorian dwarf wall greenhouse. The pricing of the greenhouse was highly competitive with other premium greenhouse suppliers. The lead time promised by Cultivar suited our own timeline and was leagues ahead of the 12-18 months+ being offered by the competition. Daniel was happy for us to be flexible on the actual installation date, given that we were taking care of the base wall construction with some uncertainty on the completion date. As we approached completion we agreed an actual installation date and the team delivered to this date.

We worked closely with Tim to finalise all of the bespoke elements of our greenhouse, including a completely bespoke and smart design for the collapsible staging that worked with our 300mm thick base wall. Tim was very responsive in dealing with these bespoke details and everything fitted/worked per the design when it came to installation - absolutely no surprises!

Simon and Duncan did an exceptional job of installing our greenhouse, providing a highly efficient, skilled and very friendly service.

The construction of the greenhouse and fittings and the service provided by Cultivar have been nothing short of exceptional. The gray aluminium frame (we chose to go with 100% aluminium, no Accoya) and the Victorian design perfectly complement the granite architecture of our home. Tim has dealt efficiently and effectively with a few modest post-installation issues that arose over the first year and all have been fully resolved.

In summary, our Cultivar greenhouse has exceeded all of our expectations and we would not hesitate to recommend both the product and service provided by Cultivar.

Well Paul, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. I can't believe it's been a whole year since we installed the greenhouse, time flies. I'll let your review do the talking but will pass your compliments onto the whole team here that work hard to ensure you receive a level of service and of course a greenhouse of the highest standards. With best regards Daniel

Beautiful and well made Greenhouse

We came across Cultivar Greenhouses for the first time at Harrogate Flower Show having made the journey from the Lake District to see what was available. The wonderful modern design and construction of Cultivar greenhouses was at a level we had not previously encountered. The decision that this was ideal for our situation was made all the more straightforward by the team present on the day who were informative and helpful without being pushy. We chose a Victorian Planthouse and we were given plans and sufficient time to prepare the site appropriately. Nothing was too much trouble for customer services who went the extra mile to help with any additional queries. The 3 man team who came to build the Greenhouse arrived bang on time and were just what the Dr ordered… hard working, friendly and competent and left the site as they found it - except for the Greenhouse and a detailed explanation of how it works!
The Greenhouse constantly exceeds our expectations with regard to materials and build quality….it blends into our site as though it was always intended.
It’s up to me from now on….I just hope it’s big enough…..
Many thanks to all at Cultivar, your professionalism and service have been exemplary.

Thank you taking the time to talk through the process which will no doubt be helpful to anyone thinking of purchasing a new greenhouse. It’s taken almost a decade to build up the dedicated team here responsible for custom making every greenhouse, providing any support and advice you might need along the way and finally fitting the greenhouse in your garden. And of course we’ll be here to help you should you go for a bigger greenhouse in the future ! Thanks again for such a positive review, feel free to drop by and say hello if you venture to the Harrogate show again next season.

My happy place

My happy place! I love my cultivar greenhouse. It may not be the biggest but the way the staging folds away is a brilliant use of space. The auto vents keep it cool on a warm day. We’ve planted around it, attached a water butt to the down pipe and paved outside the doorway. It is greatly admired.

Excellent product and customer service.

Our whole experience with Cultivar has been excellent.
First of all the the greenhouse. It is much more substantial than most other greenhouses we have seen and it is obviously constructed to last. The use of accoya wood is an example. Also, features such as the hinged lockable door are high quality. The greenhouse has now been in place for six months and we are very pleased with both its look and its construction.
Also we have been very impressed with the customer service of the company. Staff have taken time to make sure that queries are answered promptly and fully.

Thank you Robin for your complimentary and helpful review. There's plenty of people out there in exposed and windy areas that want a greenhouse that will stand up to it and reviews like this should offer some assurance. It's also good to hear you're happy with the customer service too, something we pride ourselves on and it's humbling to to hear.

WORTH WAITING FOR

CULTIVAR greenhouses, the management and employees have simply just ‘got it right’.
Ours was installed in june ‘21 and we absolutely love it.
Being unable to view the product anywhere nearby us in scotland, in covid times, we were required to take a big leap of faith, trust the reviews, the reputation and the process.
Our decision was made incredibly simple with helpful guidance from Daniel, great website info, top-tips, customer videos and images. Doing the research definitely paid off, and we are proud owners of a 6m x 3m full glass greenhouse with both double door and single door at opposite ends. Having been in situ for a couple of years now, the team at cultivar have been on hand immediately to address any issues, and the customer support has been faultless. The Cultivar team should indeed be proud of the company and their extremely well-engineered product. We live on an exposed coastal hilltop and winds are extreme, from all directions, so the true solidity of the structure provides us with great confidence.
The staging and shading products are amazing and also worth every penny. The simplicity of their use, removal and maintenance makes life easier and we recommend that you do not hesitate to include them with your order.
The absolute best bit of advice we got along the way has proved itself to be correct. Big is best! Push to get the biggest one that you can possibly afford. You will certainly not regret it.
We directed all joint Xmas, Birthday, Valentine, Anniversary gift monies to dedicate to the greenhouse piggy bank in order to push the size up dramatically and it has definitely been the ‘gift’ that keeps on giving.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a long review Sandra which I have no doubt will be helpful to anyone considering purchasing a new greenhouse. You're right about going for as large as you can afford, there's not many people who say they wish they'd bought a smaller greenhouse. I'll be sure to pass your compliments on to the team here that work hard to make sure all our customers are as happy as you.

Our new planthouse sits proudly and beautifully next to our home...in fact I am gazing at it now (adoringly) whilst writing this review!
It is so well made and every detail is perfect.The sales, the build and after sales service have been all been exceptional too.I just hope that I will be able to do it justice in growing equally beautiful plants within it.
And such a bonus that it has been designed and constructed locally to us in North Wales.

If you are buying a new greenhouse look at Cultivar

The greenhouse is designed and manufactured to a very high quality with an added bonus of it being lockable. The accessories in terms of the staging, shelving and blinds are very easy to use/fix/adapt. It is also smart to look at and feature of my property to be proud of rather than tucked away in the corner of the garden. It was assembled and erected by the Cultivar team which was part of the service and was quick and efficient saving much time and frustration doing it from assembly instructions on your own . It was bought in 2019 and although well used still looks smart. The Cultivar team were nothing but helpful with my questions between date of purchase and erection. I looked at several alternative greenhouses which were cheaper but not in the same class of quality and design of my Cultivar greenhouse. The reason for my review now some years later is that I have just visited the RHS Hampton Court show and noticed the Cultivar greenhouses compared with alternative products. I am very pleased with the greenhouse, although not cheap I would say it is value for money as it is a high quality product and I am happy to recommend Cultivar to any prospective buyer.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your greenhouse Tony. It's particularly helpful for customers who might not get the opportunity to see us at the shows. It's also handy to get a review from someone that has had a few seasons out of their greenhouse and to hear it's still looking smart. I'm sure this will be the case for years to come and wish you all the best.

A more elegant and Superior Glasshouse

We wanted a nice glasshouse that could only go close to our house. The size had to be 8 x 8 and we wanted the pale grey colour with Akoya hardwood frames having seen it at an exhibition at Hampton Court.
It looks great and is useful and admired.
Installed in a day with no issues to a pre prepared base

Exceptionally made greenhouses with amazing customer service

An all round helpful, trustworthy and genuine company. Greenhouses are a big financial commitment with so many options and considerations. All the staff we spoke to and dealt with provided helpful and sound guidance and information. They provided all the supporting documents, details, drawings and measurements needed. They also helped with the planning submission by guiding and providing the details we needed. The greenhouse is of exceptional quality and build. It was impeccably delivered and installed and now sits very proudly in my garden. It looks and is amazing - and is also admired by our neighbours too.

The greenhouse is high quality, looks stylish and Cultivar made a sturdy alpine plunge bench to fit the structure.

An important decision

Six years ago having recently moved house I was looking for a greenhouse and becoming increasingly bewildered by the apparent choice but nothing quite ticked the box. At a Malvern RHS show I had a ‘light bulb’ moment on coming across the Cultivar stand - it was abundantly clear that this was the answer. The greenhouse was installed in a highly efficient manner and continues to give excellent service. The combination of accoya and aluminium is both aesthetically pleasing and functional as are the fixtures and fittings. Altogether a brilliant product.

Well I must say it's good to see a review after having enjoyed your greenhouse for six year, time flies. It's good to hear you're enjoying the greenhouse and that you appreciate some of the features that you won't find in an ordinary greenhouse too. I'll pass your compliments on to the team that are here to provide the service too.

Beautiful and functional-I love my Cultivar greenhouse.

I first spotted Cultivar greenhouses a few years ago at RHS shows. What impressed me was the functionality combined with a sleek, modern design. I am a horticulturist so need all of the growing space I can get. The benches are well designed, it’s really easy to remove shelves and fold down benches allowing me to open up the space really easily once I’ve planted out all of my seedlings and my tomatoes become the star of the show. We are a very exposed site, the greenhouse is solid and strong. I get a lot of admiring comments about the look of my Cultivar greenhouse. I really couldn’t be happier.

It's not everyday we get a review from a horticulturist so it's particularly rewarding to hear you appreciate some of the more practical advantages of a greenhouse from cultivar, strength and fold down benches being prized features. Of course it's nice to be sleek and admired too. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Emma and all the best for the season ahead.
