Report
I cant recommend StormMeister highly enough. All of the staff are super friendly, and were incredibly helpful during the consultation and design process. Once I placed my order I received regular updates from them until the door was ready for installation. On the day of the installation, the fitter encountered some unforeseen issues (specific to my property), which meant the installation took far longer than expected. Having travelled from Preston, the fitter booked a hotel room so he could finish the job, which was done to the highest of standards. A fantastic company to work with.

I don't usually write reviews but StormMeister has just completed a really excellent job for me fitting flood doors. I have no complaints at all (a rarity for me these days when it comes to building works). I could not be more pleased. Following the flash floods in London earlier this year I ordered three flood doors for my basement from StormMeister (two standard flood doors and a pair of flood-proof French windows). The doors delivered were exactly as specified. The original measuring-up had been perfect (I had also requested a number of fiddly modifications). The doors exceeded my expectations

Report
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

Report
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.
