Bought a stable door from XL via Travis...
Bought a stable door from XL via Travis Perkins. Fitted by a carpenter and painted immediately on fitting. Three days later the lock stile started to part from the frame,then the hinge stile stated to do the same. Only held together by a single corrugated dowel top and bottom on each door. We could see this as the frame had parted so much. Left a message with the rep, via TP, stating this doorway was the only entrance/exit from the property so was a danger to myself and my family as I could not guarantee to be able to ppen and close the door from one moment to the next. Three days later still no answer. Phone XL direct who refused to speak to me, to contact their rep or even give the rep my home number to ring me back. After giving them a blasting on tne phone a rep rang my builder within three working hours, arranged a visit on the Monday, as it was then a Friday, and now waiting for a visit. Appalling customer service, glacially slow rep, door only fit for firewood. Still have to arrange who will pay for a new door and fitting. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!!!
After the rep visits and stressing again that this is the only entrance and exit to my property he says it will take 7-10 working days to even get an answer back from his managers. Although he can ask for this to be hastened he can do no more. Lets hope I did not have a fire in my property in that time eh?
UPDATE: As expected XL Joinery and Travis...
As expected XL Joinery and Travis Perkins have washed their hands of my dispute with them. As the UNDER EDGE of the door was not painted and because a cat flap was fitted in the lower door they have both said that any warranty is invalid. This is despite both the upper and lower door of the stable door coming apart. Also Stuart the manager at Travis Perkins Norwich is rude to my wife on the phone as well. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU BUY ANYTHING FROM XL JOINERY. THEY TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR SHODDY GOODS FAILING. read more
