What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Roller door installation, repair and servicing make up the bulk of the work recounted by customers, with the operator frequently named for his direct involvement. Those leaving feedback describe Dave arriving when he promised, including a holiday call-out and a trip to Atherton, and the speed of repairs comes up time and again, whether the task involved a faulty sensor, a door that would not operate properly or a sectional door motor requiring replacement. Pricing is consistently described as reasonable and fair, and the standard of workmanship is praised across new roller door fits, older doors revived with new motors and routine servicing.

Communication features prominently, with callbacks returned promptly and agreed times honoured. Several customers mention the work area being cleaned afterwards and operating advice being clearly explained before the job was finished. Knowledge and honesty during diagnosis recur, as does a friendly manner that makes the business straightforward to deal with. Repeat custom is noted, and the goodwill shown through a complimentary lubrication and service during one sensor repair reflects careful attention to older doors around Cairns.

Do not use this guy. He is very dodgy. I paid my deposit and he didn't make contact for 6 weeks so I tried to call him 20 times and text also with no reply. After threatening legal action and calling the police he called me to say he was going to refund. He did refund. Lucky....

The Scotsman installed two Gliderol roller doors at our house about 12 months ago. To be fair, he did a good job and the price was fair, I was happy. A little later, a small lock cover broke off one of the doors, so we tried to contact him to come and fix it. It really wasn't a major problem, but try and get the guy to respond to emails, calls or texts? When he finally did respond, he was shirty with me, I was impatient don't you know! So I called Gliderol in Brisbane myself, they posted up the part and I fixed it myself. Then recently, acting on his original advice, I called to arrange an annual service of the doors. A young bloke answered the phone professionally (a nice change) and we set up an appointment. The Scotsman turned up on time, said hello, and then spent a little less than an hour tightening some springs and hosed down the doors. I asked him if he wanted me to pay him as he left, he said he would email an invoice. A couple of days latter I received an invoice for $320.00! For less than an hour's work and no parts? So I emailed him and asked him whether that was the correct amount. I received an unusually prompt reply to ask what was the problem, and to say that the fee was $160.00 per door on the beaches. He also told me that I should use someone else next time. There are a few other similar Google reviews on this business. I paid the invoice, but won't be using this fellow again. The after sales experience is rude and unprofessional, it seems that it depends on what mood he's in on the day as to what kind of response you get.

Rang and was greeted with just a "Hello ?" No business name introduction. So I wasn't sure if I'd rung the right number and I had to ask him: "Is this Scottish Dave's FNQ Rollerdoors ?" He said "yeah". Not a confidence building start so I've gone elsewhere.

Dave came out quickly after our first call to look at a motor on a sectional door. It needed replacing and we were booked in for a few days later, having had a cancellation, we actually got everything fixed within a few days of initial contact. Great communication, workmanship and business owner. Highly recommend!
