Always Amazing!

Outstanding customer service as always, plus a solid delivery service. Earles Masonry Paint is a product I frequently recommend for its serious weatherproofing, breathability, eco credentials and easy application. You just can't beat it!

Product ordered came quickly and well packaged. Good instructions and health and safety data.
I have used this type of product before. Old cottage next to the sea. A very extreme test. Fingers crossed.
Normal masonry paint blisters and falls away.

Worth every penny!

Had a big issue trying to get something that would last, look good and not flake or peel. I had water based paint on top of oil based paint and no matter what, it kept peeling within a few weeks. I phoned the company last autumn to discuss. I was sent several test pots free of charge and got the recommended sealer. I applied to various areas around the property last year to see if it would work. I can now say that it's been a great success! It feels very hard and is showing no signs of failing whatsoever. I have just got all I need now to do the whole job with confidence.
Many thanks for advice and patience.

Dear Mr R Griffin-Walker,
I'm so happy to hear that you found a solution to your paint problem. I can only imagine how frustrating it must have been to have the paint keep peeling off. It's great that you reached out to the company and that they were able to send you some test pots and recommend a sealer. And even better news - it worked! That's awesome that you're now able to tackle the whole job with confidence. If you need any more help or advice, don't hesitate to reach out.
Kind regards
