Protex Thermal/Energy Solutions

I searched and couldn't find an existing thread on these guys so I'll start one.

A check on Companies House website shows that these companies are owned by John William Gorman - one of the men behind Aquashield, at least in Scotland. They even operate out of the same premises.

I had work done by Aquashield in 2009 - biggest mistake of my life - after high pressure sales (salesman knew I lost my job due to ill health and still had no problem conning me). It took until mid 2010 to get the work completed and it's still a pile of s***.

Since Aquashield went into liquidation, I have had phonecalls on a weekly basis from Protex Thermal and Protex Energy Solutions. Each time I tell them that I know they are Aquashield - always met with denials until the most recent call yesterday when the girl admitted they got my number from Aquashield. I have asked 4 times for them to take my details off of their list - it hasn't happened. I asked to speak to a manager - no manager there. It's all deja vu of Aquashield but they won't con me again.

Two of the other guys behind Aquashield now operate as PV Solar, Thermahome and FEEELECTRICITY4U - again proven by Companies House records.

If you google "Aquashield Cowboys" you will find an article I wrote on my experience with photographs of their work included and numerous comments from other customers.
