Dreamroof tradestand at Melplash Show 2017 …
Saw their tradestand at Melplash Show in 2017. We had a leaking tile roof, and they guaranteed to spray seal the under side, which would have the effect of insulating and stopping any leaks.
We paid a deposit; the surveyor came, surveyed, and presented the final quote, which was paid as per his final acceptance of work to be completed.
He was to send an 'expert' to identify the cause of the leaks.
After several missed appointments to identify the leak, their 'expert' could find no obvious reason for the leaks which were around the 2 velux windows. He thought there was a bar at the base of the windows missing (I thought this strange as the leaks were coming in at the top). He said he would try to source the missing bars, but within a couple of hours, the spraying team arrived. They seemed efficient and left after 2 hours having completed the spraying job, but did not address the leaks.
The leaks however continued, and Dreamroof said they would send out someone else to identify the problem. He came up with a different reason for the continuing leaks.
At this stage, Dreamroof said that we had not paid the full bill. It transpired that the final representative who quoted, could not subtract the deposit from the final bill correctly, and wrote down a sum that was £600 short of the original total, even though we both initialled the final paperwork as being correct.
On the phone, Dreamroof said they would not rectify the problem until the £600 had been paid. I explained that I was not happy to do that, as their experts had not seemed able to identify the problem. I said I was perfectly happy to rectify the payment problem caused by their rep, but only after the leak had been repaired.
That was the last I heard from Dreamroof. I wrote on 3 occasions to them asking for a statement of account, the guarantee for the work done, and an explanation as to how they were going to resolve our issues. I specifically asked them not to ring. I received no correspondence from them and only phone calls which I told them I was not going to accept.
I now discover they have gone out of business as Dreamroof Ltd, but have started up again as Foamroof Ltd, in the same premises, and with exactly the same format of website, except they have substituted the name Foamroof for Dreamroof.
