About Us

Our story dates back to 1945, when our great-grandfather began producing sectional timber buildings known for their durability and quality. Building on that tradition, the next generation took things further — in 1965, our father established his own company, dealing in second-hand poultry houses. These structures quickly became sought after as robust, affordable garden buildings, loved for their strength and value.

As demand grew, he recognised the need to manufacture new timber buildings, marking a bold step forward in the business. By the late 1970s, the company was supplying a wide range of sectional buildings across the UK, including those used as site huts and work shelters. Over time, our reputation for dependable construction and practical design became firmly established, earning the trust of customers nationwide.

When portable buildings began to dominate the market in the mid-1980s, we evolved again — expanding our range to include garden sheds, garages, field shelters, and stables, continuing our reputation for quality and reliability. Each new product reflected our commitment to combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques and materials.

Today, that same pioneering spirit drives Direct Sectional Buildings. Even after the passing of our father in 2022, his legacy of hard work, honesty, and attention to detail remains at the heart of everything we do. The business is now proudly run by his sons, who have been involved from the time they could walk — growing up around the workshop, learning the trade from the ground up, and understanding every aspect of the business inside out. Their lifelong experience ensures the same family values and craftsmanship continue to guide every building we create.

With over 75 years of experience and four generations of family craftsmanship, we’re proud to deliver strong, reliable, and beautifully built timber buildings — made in Britain and built to last.
