The Barrel Makers Reviews 

I have just received my second kilderkin barrel from this company as a garden feature and I’m over the moon! It’s a barrel full of character and charm. I had my previous one about twelve months ago and it has attracted a lot of attention and compliments, hence another one.

Ordering was easy, delivery quick and barrel perfect!!

I purchased a Taper Threaded Brass Tap Size C from them for my 55L oak barrel.
After installing in the correct size hole, the tap started to leak when I had reached around 40L of liquid in the barrel. After attempts to stop the leak (which was only coming from the tap, not the hole) I had to empty the whole contents of the barrel.
The tap I purchased is of very poor quality and not fit for purchase. I would not recommend this.

Absolutely loved my products will be ordering more so professional so so happy 🥇💙

Delighted with the tubs I bought be getting some more

Loads of choice, great service very happy with my barrel

Best water butt, solid made to last oak wood, happy it’s using recycled materials, made by hand, I got the rain saver, for water conservation and looks like it will remain in my garden veg plot for good. Lovely helpful customer service, advised me on taps. Efficient delivery.

Love the barrel I bought

Ordered a 3/4 Barrell, village pump, water feature. Slight issue with order, but was quickly sorted by Helen. Item arrived on a pallet, very well packaged. Looks great in the garden and very good value.

I had a very good experience with this company .
12 half barrels.
Great price ,good communications great delivery.
And most of all the barrels were excellent.
Still drunk on he fumes 😅
Thanks Helen

Good email communication. 3 x 56 gallon Whiskey Barrels as expected. Will use again. Thank you

Ordered five barrels for a project on my house. The service throughout was excellent. Phoned the company for advice and the customer service throughout was brilliant. The barrels were dispatched promptly, well packaged and with me a few days later. The quality of all barrels and ancillaries was very good and they are now in place as water butts. My experience was first rate and I thoroughly recommend The Barrel Makers to potential customers.

We were looking for something different to hide a small fountain reservoir - Oak-barrels.com aka thebarrelmakers.co.uk had the perfect solution for us. A half barrel 'table'. My questions were answered quickly by Helen and the order was dispatched swiftly. The transport company used was brilliant with communications and efficiency. The barrel has arrived and we are absolutely delighted with its quality and craftsman ship. Happy to recommend this business to anyone looking for 'barrel' items. Thanks again!

I was exploring water butt options, trying to do my bit for the environment, but all were plastic, expensive and not very attractive. Then I happened upon The Barrel Makers, who also are local to us (but deliver nationally). Their staff were incredibly helpful (and speedy) with my enquiry. And I am now the proud owner of 2 fabulous water butts (old whisky barrels), which look amazing (and even smell authentic, though that aspect is fading). I am delighted with product and service. Thanks so much the Barrel Makers. It is great to support sustainable/recycled products to help the environment and support a small (and for me, local) business.

I bought a barrel 8 months ago.
Two of the staves have broken and of course it leaks.
The firm refuses to replace it.

I ordered a 100 litre barrel to use as a water butt for my greenhouse. It’s in view from the house and the plastic or artificial wood ones aren’t to my taste.
It came super quick and is the perfect size and proportions. The removable lid is ideal for dunking a medium sized watering can without the need for a tap.
The wood comes quite pale so I added a light coat of Danish oil to bring out the grain and add some colour and it’s great.
Great product and delivery. Thank you

I have been looking for a decent barell supplier for over a year before coming across The Barell Co, I ordered a 50l oak barrel it was delivered within 7 days of order, perfectly made, perfect toasting and charr inside. The oak is 1st class and as a carpenter I know my timbers. 10/10 all round I'll be back for more from now on

Fantastic service. Received my barrel within two days of placing my order. Quality looks good with no leaks evident. Highly recommend.

Received my oak barrel shortly after ordering. It was lovely. I was more than happy with the quality. Much better those I had seen locally.

Excellent service, ordered 40 gallon waterbutt and classic cascade water feature. Great products. Would definitely recommend this company. Satisfied customer.
