Doodle Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Has anyone else tried StormShield roof (or wall) coatings? I've been having a lot of trouble with them and was wondering if I'm the only one. They did my roof about a month back, but haven't been back to finish the job. They haven't finished off the edges, and because the coats were spread so thinly the colour is very patchy (they will tell you about roofs that they've done which look good - I've found out since then that some of these people bought the coating themselves, so the correct amount was applied - if you haven't already bought the stuff they put a couple of very thin coats on and it looks patchy and uneven). Not only that, but when they were doing the work they broke two tiles (at least two - hopefully no more than that), and after cleaning the roof the rest of the house was left covered in the dirt that had been washed off the roof. They seem to be very difficult to get hold of to find out why they haven't been back to finish the job, which means that their '10 year guarantee' doesn't seem very reassuring... Has anyone else had problems with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbiniho Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 i would tell them to come and finish the job or you are going to report them to trading standards and contact the local press, do also remind them that shetland is a small place and word will soon get round tat they are doing shody work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urabug Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I know someone who phoned the number advertised on the side of there van & was told that they did not have anyone working in Shetland. Bunch of cowboy imposters perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Not many testimonials on their website...http://www.stormshieldroofcoatings.com/6.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I think that website is for a different company - there seem to be a few throughout the UK with that name, or a similar version of it. They've promised to be back to finish the job before the weekend - hopefully I won't have to go as far as contacting trading standards (but I will if they keep messing me around). Has anybody else had any dealings with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

as Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 If they are the same bunch of cowboys who did my byre roof 6 years ago I would stay well clear of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocklehaa Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Stormshield turned upon our doorstep yesterday keen to sell us their wall & roof coatings. The comments were enough to persuade us not to proceed. Their leaflet states that they "don't expect payment until customer is 100% satisfied". Hopefully Doodle hasn't parted with any money yet - it sounds as if there is still a way to go before he's happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shetland_boys Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Can the police do anything about this or is what they are doing legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocklehaa Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I don't know about their bank - the address on their leaflet would appear to be a council flat so they may be breaking the terms of their lease by trading from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
