These folks turned up at my place and were really insistent that my wife would be home when they called. I’m 66 and honestly, something about this company just doesn’t sit right with me. They ring up to set a time, then don’t show, then call again but still never turn up. I really don’t want them coming around anymore as I’m not interested in getting a quote for fascia and guttering now.

Told them to take me off their list. Looked up the number here and they're still ringing me.

The business is Mainframe located in Portrack, Stockton-on-Tees, and they do home improvements but are pretty infamous for messing things up. Funny enough, the only good review on Google is actually from the owner Geoffrey Longstaff, and all the others are about how rubbish they are. Once they get hold of your phone number, they keep calling and apply pressure to get you to agree to work. If you’ve got a call blocker, definitely block this number. This company really deserves to be reported to BBC Watchdog or Rogue Traders.

These callers just won’t let up, and when you do pick up, all you get is a jumble of garbled nonsense. It's infuriating! Is there an official body or watchdog out there where we can lodge a complaint about these annoyances?

I couldn't pick up as I was having a soak in the tub. Honestly, I was just browsing through some feedback on this number, and it seems quite suspect. I nearly called them back but thought it best to check the caller ID first. The phone rang no less than 34 times! What a bunch of nuisances, honestly.

I signed up with the TPS but still got a call from someone saying they were from Mainframe and asked for me by name. The caller said, "This is Mainframe calling, how are you today?" I answered "I'm good thanks, but what is Mainframe?" and then the call just cut off. I've blocked the number now!

I received a call from this number, and suddenly, the line just went silent. The following evening, just after 7, they rang me again. This time, a woman was on the other end, inquiring about how long I’d had my current windows and boiler. Shortly after, a man took over and began to pry into my plans for replacements. When I mentioned I had no intentions of changing anything, he abruptly cut me off mid-sentence and hung up. To be honest, it really irked me; I felt like that was exactly how I should have treated them!

I got a call from Mainframe earlier, they asked straight for me by my name. I tried to tell them I’d put myself on the no call list but they just didn’t seem to care! Total pain really.

Received a call earlier, but my phone decided to play dead as I picked up. Honestly, I'm quite tired of these irritating calls. From now on, I think I'll be resorting to “the whistle technique.” Sure, it might not be above board, but then again, neither are these calls. What a nuisance!

It seems this number belongs to a persistent salesperson, as I've been receiving multiple calls throughout the week. It’s all about pushing products-windows, solar panels, you name it! Honestly, it’s quite an aggressive approach, constantly trying to set up appointments, which is just a right pain in the neck! If I were in the market for new windows or whatever else they’re peddling, I’d reach out to companies myself, thank you very much! This constant hounding is doing nothing to entice me; if anything, it’s driving me further away!
10 years
I’ve received numerous calls from this number, all trying to push things like Mainframe Windows or solar panels. It really felt like a high-pressure sales tactic when I picked up the phone, and they insisted I should book an appointment. It’s been relentless! At this point, I’ve decided to ignore any calls from them altogether-it’s nothing short of harassment! This approach is certainly not the way to pique my interest; in fact, it’s quite the opposite! My advice? Just don’t bother answering or use 1471 to check who’s been trying to reach you!

When I picked up, there was absolutely nothing but silence.

I recently noticed that I’ve been getting messages left without even answering the phone. The gist of the message is that they’ve attempted to reach us but supposedly no one was free to take the call, and they’re asking us to ring back another time. My concern is this: Are we going to incur charges for a call we didn’t actually make? It's quite baffling, to say the least!
