Stay away from them – Really disappointed by service . I paid all my Jo in advance to finished asap . And it was distributed between numbers of subcontractors and several supervisors No one take any responsibility Everyone blaming each other More than 8 months still not updated as per standard Only option we got is vba Chose local roofer who listen you and look after your dream house Don’t get rid your money by choosing them
What a terrible company to do your roofs, and gutters. Avoid this company!! First of all, they installed my roof using brand new colourbond sheets. However, one of the sheets looked extremely damaged on the edge after installation. It looked like trades carelessly stood and walked on it. When they were asked to rectify, all they did was cut off… Read more
the edge of it. I was told to cut 5mm, but guess what, it was 50mm they cut!!
After that, many scratches were noticed on the gutters. With many arguments, they finally agreed to replaced. Once again, very doggy jobs were done by Stoddarts' trades. Many gutters' joints leaked, and they had to come back three times to rectify. They just applied more and more silicon to stop the leak!!
In addition to this, my husband noticed there were two screws were screwed in the wrong place of the roof sheet. After contacting my builder (Coral Homes), they instructed Stoddart (Coral Homes' contractor) to INSPECT. Surprisingly, Stoddart removed the two screws and once again applied silicon to the two holes without my consent!!!!!!!!! I believed silicon must be the best products for Stoodart as it fixed everything.
When communicating with a manager of Stoddart, I was told that Stoddart's trades DID NOT have to talk to or communicate with the homeowner and it was a very COMMON practice to proceed to rectification after inspection of the defect without communication as they were doing me a favour.
Shouldn't it be the COOMON practice for Stoddart to communicate with Coral Homes, and then Coral Homes to communicate with me before any jobs to be carried out?
Coral Homes then therefore instructed Stoddart to replace the two roof sheets where Coral Homes’ manager had to supervise Stoddart for the whole rectification to avoid poor workmanship again.
The manager who told me about the common practice and did me a favour who also told me that all customers were happy about their services. If I knew about this 1.3 star rating on Product Review, I would had asked Coral Homes to supervise Stoddart from the beginning at all times. What a joke. What a company Stoddart is.
Worse company that was part of my buulding – I built home with coral homes and Stoddart installed out roof facias and gutters, Workmenship was so bad on our front elevation (See photos attached) that is beyond imagination.. On top of everything Guy that was sent today to inspect this issue was trying to bully me in to agreeing that this is normal!!! Pls see photosof their NORMAL!!! He also… Read more
stated that they fixed that gutter 5-6 times alredy but it was coral who keept on damaging, and that wasn’t true ! Because we were following that from the first day that gutter was installed and they came back once only and pached it up with a bit of silicone.. See photos please!!!
Very poor attitude, I’m absolutely appalled by attitude and by lack of pride in their workmanship and how they try to deflect and pass the blame of their bad workmanship on to Coral Homes!
Hi Natasa, thank you for bringing this to our… Read more

Please stay away from this company – can't stress enough not to recommend this company. Our house is less than 3 years old and 95% of our gutters have falling on rain event. After contacting Coral Homes regarding gutters falling. Coral Homes have sent out Stoddart Group who originally installed it to reassess. Stoddarts admitted after they tried saying it was a insurance job that… Read more
they didn't install gutter properly, poor workmanship. "Craig" from Stoddarts said he'll go back to the office organise clean up and order materials. [Name Removed] went back to Coral Homes and said it was insurance job.
We then got a Independent Assessor come out do a report and it came back poor workmanship and building defect. We sent the independent assessor report to Coral Homes and they forwarded that to Stoddarts to say it's a insurance job. Our gutters are still not fixed being over a month now. We have now got NCAT involved and Insurance to fix up Stoddarts mess. Very disappointing and if your builder uses this company I would suggest getting it inspected by a independent assessor.

Excellent service, quality product, great installation crew – I recently had a sectional garage door installed in Brisbane and I received excellent service from the state manager who has gone out of his way to be very helpful. The crew who installed the door were professional and persevered to fit and adjust the door into an opening that left them little headroom. I am very happy with my choice of supplier… Read more
and the quality of the product and would not hesitate to recommend the Brisbane team to anybody.

No contact very poor service – We installed a solar panel system with them almost 2 years ago. I have been emailing and calling for months and no one is responding. They promised a smart meter and installation support of the app which I have in writing but no one contacts me. I'm going to contact fair trading/ombudsman.

Sectional garage door and motor = garbage – 4 years old and the Stoddart motor has stopped dead, which complements the door itself where the cover is delaminating as it is inly glued on. Bigger issue apart from quality is no care to help fix and hide behind an inadequate warranty when consumer guarantees over ride. Do not buy this rubbish and if you are building ask for another supplier like B & D.
Dear Hopper, I am sorry to hear you have… Read more

The lie constantly and poor work – We have dealt with the stoddart group for sometime which has been very stressful. The manager, [Name Removed] from the Toowoomba branch has been a constant deliverer of lies. A lot of the work was poorly completed and we have been threatened to have our account closed unless we pay. We had always paid once work was rectified. In recent times they… Read more
were caught removing battens from a site without permission. [Name Removed] stated that this was normal practice. However, this was the first occasion on our sites. He was asked to return the material, deduct off our invoice or we would call the police to deal with the issue of possible theft. His reaction was to close our account. [Name Removed], QLD boss for stoddart back his manager. It seems a crap show from the top down. We also have had many issues of them scheduling work and rolling it back to suit themselves when our orders at times had been sent 4-5 months in advance and he simply forgot to deal with them. Builders, I would strongly suggest you watch this company. Particularly in Toowoomba with [Name Removed] and manager.

SOLAR BATTERY – Stoddarts fitted a solar system including a lithium battery to our home in June 2020. After 14 months the battery failed, that was in September 2021. The battery has a ten year warranty backed by Stoddarts (hah!). After numerous phone calls, emails and letters to Government agencies the battery remains dead and Stoddarts do not respond; do not accept responsibility; do nothing. Warning, do not use this company they will disappoint you.
Stoddart are dogsh*t – Our solar was connected during construction but malfunctioned somehow before we moved in. 3 months later of no solar generation, Stoddart took no responsibility and refused to provide compensation. Now another 3 months later and we noticed the solar has stopped again for a month so far. Absolute rubbish system and poorly ran business. We had a brand new system that didn't work and they just tried to shift the blame.
The system was fully functional at time of… Read more
Roofing leak – We have a major leak in our roof that this business has not fixed. Other tradesmen suggest it is either water holding under the “barge trim” or insufficient aluminium sarking was applied at a join between two roof sheets, etc. Leaks are not normal. The roofing needs to be lifted and an inspection performed which, I’m told, should take 10 mins. No… Read more
one has gotten back to me, instead the rain keeps coming and the damage worsens.
I spoke with the manager at Loganholme and he says he would manage the problem but I never heard back. I also rang Darra. They apparently suggested moving a nearby downpipe instead of lifting the roof, looking at the problem, and making basic repairs (a simple exercise).
QBCC? We would like this matter resolved without further delay.
We are now completely fed up.

Do not get involved with Stoddarts – Been waiting for over 6 months to have our solar system commissioned. Stoddart are hopeless. They do not respond, and refuse to do the work they have been paid for. Do not get involved with this company.

Absolutely Terrible Workmanship and customer service – Our Garage door was fitted onto another home in our estate and we received their incorrect smaller roller door which was fitted onto our garage. Which later came off the rails nearly damaging our vehicles on windy day. Numerous holes in our bricks that we’ve had to repair once they replaced the roller door to what we actually paid for and the list… Read more
goes on. No communication, terrible customer service and excuses for not turning up on numerous occasions. This company has been a nightmare for us. And they still have not repaired our door!!! There are so many more companies out there do your research and do yourself a favour and go somewhere else. I had to give one Star but honestly they should not have any.
Trouble with gutter promised to fix now denying problem - very rude – After many months of waiting for promised repair to my gutter that doesnt drain properly. Had another 'Inspection' today. Very rude guy. Obvious from the start he wasn't going to help. Because it is dry today can't be a problem! Despite the last week or so it's been scorching hot. Pointless waster of time.
Unhappy – Rang the garage company about the screws supporting the bracket holding the rail onto the ceiling fell out screwed only into JIP ROCK was told that was not possible there installer would not do that and YES he did.Was offered another installer in my area that could come out and fix it and service it at my cost didn't want it serviced wanted it… Read more
fixed was stuck in the open position. Then was told it wasn't there fault as the builder mustn't have installed the noggen for it to be attached to and YES the noggen was there he MISSED IT had to pay myself to get another builder to fix it for safety reasons and YES he said he MISSED the noggen if he had taken a bit more care I would not have had a problem. Was told it was not under warranty but yet again another lie as it is. It is an installation problem covered by warranty and they have been installed for less than two years. Can't wait to see what surprises the future brings I have TW0 of these garage doors one was also installed with a dent but was also told NOT THERE FAULT.
Poor result, pointless arguments – Tahmoor/ Thirlmere area NSW... Pushed back on everything, poor quality, missing screws, shoddy workmanship, roof banging since new. Refused to cut flashing in on two 30m verandahs, installed gutter nozzles wrong even after being shown... useless company poor result.

Unfortunately unable to provide 0 stars. House built almost 2 years ago and still waiting for downpipes to be fixed – Downpipes are leaking. They are just ignoring people and think that all will go away somehow. Avoid them as plaque or any company which uses them to build your house.

Solar water heater panels – Stoddart installed a faulty solar water heater panels on the roof of my house. Contacted them through the builder. They responded that they are not installing the solar water heater panels any more and they won't be able to come and have a look. If they cannot come and have a look on the panels they installed. I am not sure why they want to do business.
Stoddard customer service/lack thereof – Very disappointed with our dealing with this company so far. Our builder used them to install solar and the roofing our newly build home, during the build process we queried the builder on upgrading our solar system from 6.6kw/5kw inverter to a 13kw/10kw inverter, they referred us to Stoddard, tried contacting stoddart numerous occasions via email… Read more
and phone as it was urgent as I needed to know if the house should have single or three phase to the property for that stage of the build, Stoddard took around 3 weeks just to reply, by which time the electrical had already been run as the standard single phase. Stoddard then told me one can only install a max of 5kw onto single phase and if I want any bigger have to go 3 phase, I have since queried this and according to QLD regulations on the standard electricity connection of single phase power, a residential property can go to a max of 10kws of inverter on single phase. Not good when the supplier of our solar power system doesn't even know the correct info?! The staff who answers the phones are clearly lacking in product knowlege and can never help, always promising to get back to you but never do. Poor customer service really.
This company is terrible with service, provided faulty product and costed me 880 dollars extra – Have writtern a number of emails to company asking for an answer but meet only with unambiguous information, misleading statements and compalints to ESA about me. I have all the clearings from council and ESA but they still wont fix the issue.

Terrible product, broken and still no solution in sight. Been 6 weeks + – Broken deep fryer, not even a year old. Contacted Stoddart, its been over 6wks, it has also now been three people to try and deal with this. And still nothing. Definately would never buy again. I've never had such a bad fryer. Would give 0 stars if it were a possible option.

Maniac employees – A vehicle bearing your company logo driving like a maniac on public roads with no regards to the safety of pedestrians and other road users. It is difficult to imagine these people'd give a damn about their clients.

ceilings from their incompetence
- after chasing them for 4 months to come back and fix their roof leakes I decided to do it myself. Found missing screws on the roof, no flashings installed etc
Do yourselves a favour and pay the extra 10% more for the next guy because I promise you it will back fire
If 0 was an option I would have pressed it

Very Bad Experience – Stoddart Building Products were contracted by Fairhaven Homes to install the roof to our new house. The day we moved in, it was very very noise even at night. I have contacted the builder as well as stoddarts directly several times but initially they says coz its a new house tats why its noisy and will settle with in 4-6 months but the prob is… Read more
still continues and now they claiming that it is noisy because there is no Sarking under the roof and dont want to solve the problem. Noise is that loud sometimes that my 6 year old son is afraid even going to toilet alone. Guys plz do check when signing a contract with builder or replacing ur roof with Stoddarts. I dont recommend Stoddarts and Fairhaven(Builder) at all. Good Luck

Whirlybird fell after 4 years – We had Whirlybird installed through Henley (builder). After 4 years, it fell down. We called Stoddard who said that warranty was only for 12 months and were trying to evade my question as to why it would fall. The plumber who installed a new one said it was screwed. The fixing was not strong and overtime the screws became loose. He was surprised… Read more
that Stoddart did not glue this as well. Also it is appalling that the workmanship has a warranty of ONLY 12 months.

Horrible work done – This company did the fascia and guttering for our home. Box gutters were not done well to the point that water is pooling in the ceiling of our entrance portico. Roof tiles were also not properly and water is leaking into our masters bedroom! We've been asking them to rectify the issue but it has been months and it still has not been resolved.
