About Carr Garden Buildings

In 1950, Arthur Carr started making fine timber cabins from his home workshop. By 1959, with the help of his son Tony, he had expanded his business to occupy a workshop and yard at Heath Street, Barking, Essex. They continued to make quality products such as garden sheds, timber frames and doors.

In 1970, Arthur Carr’s son Tony with other directors, formed the company Carr Portable Buildings Ltd and extended the business by opening the North Street, Barking, Essex factory. The company has continued to grow, by 1987 the company had opened a mill, factory and show area at Wickford in Essex and in May 2003 a new workshop was opened to cater for the increase in orders. In 2004 we started trading as Carr Garden Buildings so that our name more accurately describes what we produce. Further and ongoing investment in new machinery and training has enabled us to become more efficient and therefore more competitive, helping us to become market leaders.

The company’s success has been achieved by giving its customers a high quality service at an affordable price and our reputation has spread by word of mouth and recommendation.
