Custom made vivarium builders (UK)

[LeopardTortLover]

Helllloooo everyone!

In the near future I am looking to buy Marley a custom made vivarium and I want it to be massive. I won't give any sizes because I haven't thought it through yet.

I was just wondering if any of you UK folks, or anybody who knows a reliable builder in the UK, have had experience ordering a custom made viv from anyone? Or is there anyone on the forum who builds and sells them in the UK?

I would build it myself, but believe me, I can barely put up a shelf! So does anybody have any contacts, known sources, or people they have had dealings with that they could recommend?

Thank you.

I built my own 8ft indoor enclosure 4ft is closed an 4ft is open. I ordered the size wood I needed from b&q and they cut and deliver it, total cost £100. (Inc £20 delivery) I would not recommend you get a custom one built, they are very expensive. Do you have any friends that would help you build it?

I found a couple that did tort tables but would not customise so I contacted some local joiners, sketched out what I wanted and got quotes. I got a beautiful 3storey 6x3feet enclosure with wood and glass built for £300 which was a bargain for the materials included IMO. My latest one I built myself, same idea as the previous comment. Sketched out what I wanted, got b&q to cut for me and put together in less than an hour, it was like my own personal flat pack lol

Volly is heavily recommended. You will find loads on RFUK.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to sketch some ideas out and then contact a joiner probably. Do joiners deal with glass too? I want a really basic box anyway with 2 sliding glass doors and holes cutting for the lights. So excited to start designing!

My uncle is a roofer, he might be able to help me.
