We have just had installed a new storm door and five self-sealing air bricks and wall pointing due to experiencing a bad flash flood that almost destroyed our home. I hope our new products are never put to the test, but I have to say that dealing with StormMeister has been a very good experience. All staff we spoke to on the phone were polite and with excellent communication throughout the whole job. Good communication I rate very highly and StormMeister's was excellent. The engineer who did all the work was great, friendly, explained everything thoroughly and was lovely to talk to. All in all

We ordered 3 doors at a cost over over 10K in October 2020 (They are not the quickest to reply to emails and even calling is never easy) by March 2021 we had 3 doors that didn't fit properly and had a totally wrong colour were installed. We have not been able to open one door since March. It was agreed that new doors would be made in around six weeks but took 6 month (almost a year late ) UPDATE the wrong colour doors have been removed and correctly fitted to our satisfaction and we very happy with the quality and the fitting.

I asked staff why the company wanted 50% costs up front. Couldn't answer. When I spoke to the owner on the telephone he started the conversation with "what do you want" he interupted me, didn't answer my questions, was rude and dismissive. He wouldn't provide a contract or anything written but expected me as the customer to hand over 1000.00 pounds in advance for initially nothing in return.
AVOID this company.

Having just read a response to a complaint, I agree with the previous comment, the customer service team need to go on a customer service course for sure. If any member of my team responded to a complaint like they have, they would be disciplined. Would not recommend them and will be taking our business elsewhere. A very annoyed customer.
