ANYONE KNOW ABOUT ROOFCOATING (AQUASHEILD)
« on: August 18, 2009, 03:23:39 am »
i have done a few roof cleans and after recently reinvesting in professional pressure washing equipment im looking at gettin involved in this roof coating too im sure you have all heard of aquasheild and i know they were on that watchdog programme of some sort for conning people but i believe its quite a profitable business model. iv done a bit of research into the idea just seeing what input you guys have and if anyone has any knowledge of the industry??

Aquashield are pretty unprofessional, I've done a few jobs for them in the past from my detailing business.  Basically when they jetted the roof before the seal they didn't move cars on driveways so they got covered in debris then I've had to mediate and clean them to keep the customer happy.  They've also attempted to clean them off and left scratches because of this, then I've corrected the paintwork for them.  Telling my missus about their work she says they'll be on rogue traders one day...............then what do we see..........them on rogue traders.   They where on for pushy sales.

BUT, there's a lot of profit in the business.  Unforutnately according to the expert on rogue traders the sealant they use has nothing like the protection claimed.

If you're thinking of getting into it, I'd say look into it, there's a lot of money to be made.  The best approach seems to be to pay door to door canvasers to get the customers.

Absolute waste of money. You got porous tiles missus, your roof'll collapse within a year - do I need your services? yeh - £3000 please.


Chased one guy up my elderly mum's drive after he tried to con her with this.
It's a game of three halves!

cheers davo my email address is richardwiltshire36@yahoo.co.uk

im not looking at ripping people off charging them amounts that they charge i was thinkin of promoting it more as for the benefits it has to the appearance of a property not the effects it has on tiles which is a load of bulls*%t!!!
