As in the title, has anyone bought stables or even more specifically an American barn from National Stables - can you tell me about the service, quality speed etc - pm if you prefer.

Thanks
 
We had mobile stables from them last year that they errected and pinned down on metal skids. . Fantastic service, would def use again. Very pleased with the quality.
 
A few years ago, I bought 3 stables, tack room and barn from them.

We had the pad and the brick layer put down separately to their specifications. They arrived on the arranged day and everything was done in a day. Quality was excellent and cant comment about aftersales as we never had a problem with them. All easy and straightforward. Looked fab

i bought my stables from them about 16 years ago and they still look good.from what i remember delivery was fairly quick and a few years later when horse on box rest kicked out some back panels they were pretty quick delivering me replacements.its a long time ago but they were middle of the road pricewise.everything was up in a few hours .prior to that they gave me spec for base and brickwork.
 

We had them erect a large wooden structure with two internal stables. We used their higher spec Grand National Range and they've been up for 9 years now. I can thoroughly recommend them.
 
Another recomendation here, had three stables and covered area built, adjusted to suit my plans and all delivered and erected in one day on the day they said three months earlier so very impressed.

RECOMMENDED !

I realise that this thread has pretty much finished but I wanted to share our experience of Onduline roofing and National Stables.

National Stables erected a set of stables for us with an Onduline roof in 2001.

The roof stated leaking at around 7-8 years after it was installed. After 10 years the roof gradually started sagging along the whole length of the stables to a point that it has resulted in pooling of water in the sheets and more leaking. The sheets are stained black underneath and rotten.

They are attached straight onto the purlins, nothing underneath. After reviewing the manufactures fitting instructions and checking the measurements it looks like National Stables may not have followed them correctly. Our roof looks exactly the same as the 2nd and 3rd picture on this web page: http://www.stablerepair.co.uk/roof-problems/4574850634

On checking the Onduline warranty, it is guaranteed to remain weather proof for 15 years but only fully covered for the first 5. After that point their liability limited to a pro-rata replacement value. If they are confident that their product will last why is it only fully covered for 5 years? According to National Stables this product has an expected life span of only 15 years! http://www.onduline.co.uk/PDF/Onduli... General.pdf

Other people we have spoken to have said that they have had bad experiences with Onduline sheets also. My advice would be to avoid Onduline sheets.
