Hi Becky & James, just a short note to say we are over the moon with our new Heritage Swing Seat! It has been such a refreshing experience to deal with a company that produces high quality products and delivers first class customer service.

You have answered any and all of our questions to the fullest, been patient whilst we had to wait for a builder to lay the patio and delivered a product that surpasses our expectations.

You guys are truly first class from start to finish, thank you both!

We recently purchased the Heritage…

We recently purchased the Heritage swing seat from Duckpaddle — and what a wonderful decision that has been. From the first message to delivery and installation, the whole process was smooth and professional. The installation was done by James, and he was absolutely incredible — polite, efficient, and meticulous in setting up the swing.
The swing itself is superbly built: sturdy, well-constructed, and feels far more robust than the mass-produced alternatives we considered. Since installation, it has become a favourite spot to relax; the design and finish add real charm and elegance.
Overall, we are delighted — it’s a quality swing seat that feels like it’s built to last, backed by a company with excellent customer service. We wholeheartedly recommend Duckpaddle to anyone looking for premium garden furniture.

What can I say Lovely warm welcome by the hosts. Accommodation was very spacious and had everything we needed. Lovely walks and close by car to amenities and restaurants/pubs. We were even provided with homemade scones with all the trimmings and plonk on arrival. Booked again as we enjoyed our stay so much!!! Thank you Sharon and Andy ! See you soon

Amazing amazing amazing

Amazing amazing amazing.

Recently had the Hampton Arbour delivered and built. These guys give a wonderful service and it's so nice buying from a family run business that really care about their customers.
Becky runs a tight ship in terms of order and timescales - we had to wait 5 or 6 weeks but the date was pretty much on the nail from when she told us at point of order - in fact a few days earlier.
James is incredibly proud of the materials they source and use and quality of products and has built this wonderful sanctuary for us which we use every single day (fair enough the weather has been kinda nice). We've put a heater on the back wall which takes the edge off when it gets a little cooler, and soon enough will have some fairy lights in the trellis walls.
Love it, thanks guys.

From the moment I ordered my Swing seat this company has been amazing, so professional and happy to answer any of my queries. The seat was ordered & arrived exactly on time and was quickly assembled by James and sited exactly as I requested. It is wonderfully relaxing and I wholly recommend Duckpaddle to anyone wanting garden chairs & arbours, you won't be disappointed.

Duckpaddle - a wonderful experience from order to delivery.

I bought the Heritage swing seat. From the start to delivery I have had a 5 star experience. Becky & James responded to my queries, delivered promptly and construction was very professional. BUT most importantly...I love my new swing seat, it's beautifully made, sturdy, comfortable and looks elegant. I can sit & enjoy my pretty garden by the sea & hear the birds tweet ' isn't that a beautiful swing seat'! (PS my friends love it too, with a cold glass of berry cordial!)

Hampton arbour

We bought the Hampton arbour, ready painted in pale green. It arrived 7 weeks after ordering, as predicted, but it's now installed and looking lovely, just in time for summer. Very happy with the product and the service.

I can't praise Duckpaddle and Becky…

I can't praise Duckpaddle and Becky enough for their outstanding customer service! Quick replies to emails and nothing too much trouble. Just brilliant. The swing seat we bought is also far better quality than any others, nicely made, sturdy and with a lovely finish. I always try to buy from either local or family firms and the service Duckpaddle provides just confirms why I do this!

Great product ,

We received our pent swing late august , we are really pleased with the quality of this product. Thankfully the weather was dry the next day for assembling .
I was unsure about some things but a call or two to someone put me on the right track, once assembled the swing is very solid and does not move in the strong winds we are experiencing at the moment.
Sadly we have been unable to use the swing much due to the weather, but look forward to doing so in the future.
A big thank you to Becky for making the process run smoothly and also James who helped with my calls in assembling. Great customer service, thank you.

Fantastic product, fantastic service

I bought the Sandringham having compared many alternatives online. The quality was even better than expected - it’s very sturdy and expertly crafted, way superior to mass produced swing seat we owned previously. I had a slight problem initially with some parts on delivery but the service was incredible and James came to fix it, responding to my query immediately. I would , highly recommend this company to anyone - definitely worth every penny!

Gorgeous Pergola Swing, highly recommend!

I can’t speak highly enough about James and Becky and the gorgeous pergola swing they made for us! The whole experience has been so easy and friendly, they were happy to talk us through the design and accommodate slight amendments to suit our needs, the end product is perfect and I honestly couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Duckpaddle, they are worth every penny! Thank you again!

The standard and quality of the furniture is exceptional, the information and instructions perfect and the customer service with Becky brilliant.

Duckpaddle products are everything and more

I cannot speak highly enough of Duckpaddle - their service, expertise, and product quality are simply unparalleled.
My garden is my haven and for quite some time I have been looking for the right garden swing that would be aesthetically pleasing, good quality, built to last and made by a UK family business. I found Duckpaddle probably 2 years ago and have been admiring the Heritage swing since, procrastinating over spending on a garden swing, but oh now how I wish I had made the decision sooner!
The reviews are always glowing and repeat customers and Duckpaddle still exceeded all my expectations!
From the moment I contacted them Becky friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. She took the time to understand my needs and preferences, offering expert advice on the best swing options for my garden space.
I was kept up to date on delivery and any questions were answered swiftly.
Duckpaddle's professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive.
When it came time for installation James arrived in the pouring rain with such a pleasant manner and got stuck in bringing in and building the swing. His skills showing as he worked efficiently to erect the swing, ensuring it was secure and perfectly positioned, even trimming some branches that were in the way. The end result was nothing short of spectacular—the swing not only looks stunning but even in the rain has been a haven to sit and enjoy the peace.

What sets Duckpaddle apart is their commitment to excellence in every aspect of their business. From the high-quality materials used in their swings to the impeccable customer service they provide, Duckpaddle truly goes above and beyond to exceed expectations.

I would highly recommend Duckpaddle to anyone in search of a premium garden swing experience. With Duckpaddle, you're not just purchasing a swing—you're investing in quality, craftsmanship, and exceptional service. Thank you, Becky and James and the team at Duckpaddle, for transforming my garden into a haven of relaxation and enjoyment!

Delighted.

This small family business uphold the true meaning of the pursuit of excellence. Good communication with Becky throughout the ordering/manufacturing period followed by delivery and erection of a Heritage Swing Seat on possibly the hottest day of the year when James and his colleague cheerfully completed the installation, resulting in two more very happy customers. Well done all round.
