Good product - fantastic customer service

Found a specialised paint at a fraction of the cost of a traditional lime wash paint and it looks great.
But the reason for the 5 stars is the customer service. Had some questions on the application and had a great 5 minute chat which answered all my questions.

Extremely helpful

Extremely helpful. When they realised I am a novice they even phoned me to discuss my project, to offer advice and to check I had the correct products. I was impressed by how much time and effort went into my small order. The paint arrived amazingly quickly in just a couple of days, considering I live on the IOM where everything usually takes weeks! I’m looking forward to dealing with this company in the future.

Very helpful company to deal with.

Very helpful company to deal with.
I bought Super White Masonry paint as my supplier had ran out of Silicate paint, the results are excellent but its hard to work with compared to normal paint, once you get used to mixing, stirring every 2 minutes and getting the consistency right it goes on well. It gives an 'old fashioned' and chalky look to an old cottage.

Great products to use with your period renovation project where the walls are designed to ‘breathe’. We use it to paint our basement walls - great value for money compared to other eco paint suppliers. Fantastic customer service too!

Excellent service

I used this paint to disguise where a conservatory had previously been attached to my stone house. It was very effective when mixed with a pigment, making the scarring virtually invisible.

My experience of dealing with Northern Coatings

Very fast delivery and were quite happy to sell me a smaller quantity than was being offered at the time. Well packaged with clear instructions on how to use.
Not expensive compared to other paints.
