flatout Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Stay away from blakes I have one 6 year old and some of the weather board is rotten already it leaked like hell at the beginning louvres have fell out of the doors it's just made with cheap crap timber
C WRIGHT Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 ecco lofts good quality lofts and second to none service they will make loft to suit your needs and ant we extras you want sliding floors so you clean from outside ,darkness slides anything wood used is quality and they come and built
andyyy Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 I agree ecco can be good, I got my loft in 2010 and it was 100% perfect. End of last season I got another one and had nothing but trouble with. Didn't come on the day agreed, when it came they didn't want to put it up ad it was late, and to top it all the floor was too small so had to use my timber to make it bigger once they had stopped moaning and got it up they left without even a sorry. Atb with your new loft
greenlands Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 I have three Blakes lofts,if I was to purchase another I would go for Ecco lofts. http://www.eccosheds.co.uk/pigeonlofts.html :animatedpigeons:

Debhappy with both mine ,bought second hand and with good felt and a lick of paint have served me well (made by Blakes) .many have opinions which differ , choice is yours at the end of the day . I would wait until you visit Blackpool Deb ,if you like what you see and the folk that build them ,then that's the one

Would it be money well spent going for an Echo loft or Parkhall Deb

A Much More sturdy loft imo ! Ye can see both examples of there lofts at The Blackpool Show ! if yer going that is ?

cemetary Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 If I was getting a new loft, I don't think I would buy one fromTranter, seen them at Blackpool and they are constructed second to none in my opinion, that would be ma first choice.
