A question about : "RoofTec" (uk) ltd

Anyone out there used this company? are they ok? is it worth it, they clean/repair/and seal your roof,... apart from looking nice? thanks

Best answers:

  • do they have bba approval or similar for their product
    if not avoid
  • Hi Yes I have used them twice in the past, and was very pleased with the work. I used the company based in Lincolnshire is that the same one you are looking at?
    If so I would recommend, roof once done comes with a 50 year guarnantee which was a real bonus when I came to sell.
  • Search the site there other threads on it. The general thought from everyone is that its a scam, a very similar scam to the "seal your walls" rubbish that was the rage a few years back.
  • Hi Roddy
    Did you go with Rooftec - what did you think? I'm confused by two opposite ends of spectrum feedback about them and it sounds fabulous!!!
    (they gave a pretty convincing answer when I asked how they underwrite the insurance thing)
    interested to hear what all have to say on this
    Thanks

  • Suzie is getting confused with flat roof I think.Other guy ????? no, try roof-coaters.com 12 yrs in trade and seem to have good rep, offers etc: Most coating cos started wiyhin past 3-4 tears, 60 yrs warranty not existing on roof coating. That is fibreglass, flat roof I think
  • Bear in mind a 50 year guarantee is virtually worthless unless it is backed by a bona fide Insurance company. If it's not Insurance backed then it means the business itself in effect underwrite the guarantee and they have a habit of going bankrupt and as soon as they do the guarantee goes with them

  • Just had a look at rooftec website. They state they have 30 years experience in roof coating. 5 years ago there was about 5 companies in the UK offering roof coating. Now there are about 120 from 'travellers' doing Ј600 botch jobs, to aquashield (search that name on here) who charge as much as a new roof and are a direct selling company commission only and ALL staff are self employed.
    In between there are the 3-4 that have always been around, but 30 years is c*ap, most of these companies have been doing coating for less than 3 yrs and they may be members of many associations as personal members which means nothing. Grumpy yes.
