Sadly we have also had dealings with this Mr Shaw. He ran a company called Texacote which rendered my parents house in 2007 or 2008. In 2011 we noticed the render was flaking off and after trying to contact Texacote we realised they had gone into liquidation. I contacted trading standards but they basically said that as we didn't pay by credit card there was nothing we could do. We decided that we had no option but to have it redone! We then found Render Exterior Wallcoatings. It wasn't long before I realised it was the same Mr Shaw who had run Texacote! After I pointed out that it was his company who had rendered the house in the first place he dropped the price to £7500 and promised that that was cost price. Having no choice we went ahead. Just recently the walls have started to flake again. I have not contacted Mr Shaw yet but I have a feeling he will not entertain me! Not sure of the best course of action. Maybe an email to BBC Watchdog? Any suggestions?
