Excellent service from start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish. I received my paint in record time. I ordered Farrow and Ball (Clunch) colour and a suitable undercoat and primer. It was available in two shades one light and the other a darker shade. In retrospect I would choose the lighter colour next time. All in all I would highly recommend this company. Thank you to all the team.

Fantastic after sales service

Visited Bathgate branch 6/5/26. Had paint mixed using code. On arrival home shade was markedly different. Note-- not their fault Phoned next day , spoke with Stuart. Bring it back , we'll get it sorted. Went in next day and indeed problem sorted with no fuss. Excellent and knowledgeable staff. Great service. A bit of a distance from my home but probably worth the travel to get this service. Very satisfied customer.

Great paint

Great paint, quite thin so expect some drips, however it covered ceiling well, needed 3 coats but it looks great, and no need to paint again with more paint so undercoat and top coat all in one. Recommended for use on lime plaster to aid breathability, preventing mould in the future hopefully. Delivery was earlier than expected and well packaged.

Hello Michelle,

We appreciate you sharing your experience. We're glad to hear that our paint worked well on your ceiling, some paints do require further coats and this can depend on the substrates painted and how this absorbs into them.

We are also happy the delivery was prompt and the packaging was secure. Thank you for the recommendation!
