About
About Malvern
In 2019 we acquired GBC Buildings for Leisure, and with it came buildings from the UK's leading garden building manufacturer, the Malvern Collection.
Heritage
From a Worcestershire farm
The Malvern Collection grew from two family businesses: Palmer Timber, a hardwood merchant since 1916, and the garden buildings Doug Pound began making in a converted chicken shed on a Worcestershire farm in 1972.
Today the buildings are still made in Worcestershire, on a four-acre site, and since 2019 we've offered the full range through our show sites.

Delivery
How Malvern buildings are delivered
Typical lead time6 - 7 weeks unpainted | 7 - 8 weeks painted
All of our Malvern Garden buildings will be delivered and installed (where applicable) by our skilled team of fitters - ensuring that your garden building arrives in perfect condition and it is assembled to the highest standard.
Please be aware that you will need to provide a good, strong and level base constructed from either slabs, concrete or an approved steel base and foundation system. This will need to be completed prior to our delivery date, ensuring that it is set and strong enough for that building to sit on.
As with all of our garden buildings, we like to provide our customers with a suitable delivery time. We always give good notice of our arrival date, allowing you to be sure it is the right time for you. We always appreciate any helpful information regarding access to your pre-prepared base area and any details you may need to share with us about reaching you - so that the delivery process can run as smoothly as possible.
Delivery to Scotland typically takes 2 weeks longer.
- Payment is due 10 working days before delivery.
- If the team can't install because the base isn't suitable, there's no access, or nobody is home, a second journey charge applies.
Warranty
12-month guarantee
- Any defect from faulty workmanship or materials is put right for 12 months.
- Natural movement, splitting and shrinkage of timber, and problems from faulty groundworks, are not covered.
- Storm damage is not covered: it should be covered by your home insurance.
