Excellent service from David
Excellent service from David - they were out of stock of an item I ordered but quickly offered an alternative solution. Including posting an additional batch of Skimcoat to make up a shortfall quickly and with no postage charge. 24 hour delivery on both consignments. Real pleasure to deal with and great to order from a real person rather than a faceless website and remote call centre.

Dear Stuart
Thank you for your understanding when the product was unexpectedly out of stock, for leaving us 5 stars regardless of this and for the fantastic comments. If we could leave you a 5 star customer review we would!

Great finish - check the coverage you need.
The finish looks great though the finished colour (Lilly White in our case) is darker/pinker than the website colour suggests - of course this could just as easily be down to the colour rendering of my PC monitor.
I would suggest ordering more than you expect to need and water down more than they suggest - certainly for the first coat, otherwise it's like spreading jam! We were applying to pebble dash so knew the coverage wouldn't be the same as a completely flat surface but until we watered it down more it only covered a fraction of what we expected.
We did have a small problem with colour matching of one batch but Northern Paints and Coatings dealt with this very fast and professionally.

Outstanding
Once again, outstanding customer service from David and his team, but in particular, David.
When a customer makes a daft error and the boss sorts it out the next day, and the product arrives the day after followed by a prompt partial refund, you know you're dealing with someone who cares passionately about their customers and their business.

Order arrived as expected.
The order took a bit longer than 48 hours to arrive but that may have been due to a postal service strike.

Great products
Good informative website. The company supplied the products quickly.
Snowcem is an excellent product - easy to apply with a good finish. We repeated our order to finish off the cottage - it looks great. Would definitely use again when we need to repaint it.

Northern Paints very kindly rang me to ask if I really wanted 2 containers of primer. I didn't. It was a website error. They arranged a refund. I was impressed with their proactive attitude.

Good company, good paint
Low delivery fee and prompt delivery. I painted my garage this weekend with two coats and it's looking good so far. The paint was easy to mix and went on well.
