    Five stars for Karl and team

    Karl and the team at external coatings couldn’t have been more helpful with the finishing of our project. They bent over backwards to accommodate our timescales, working weekends and when we needed them. Great value too compared to a lot of other quotes we received. Highly recommend them to anyone

    Outstanding Job. Absolutely faultless.

    We recently had Karl and team come to render the front elevation of our house. The quality of work was outstanding, couldn’t be happier with the result. They were polite, efficient and took great attention to detail in every step of the process. Absolutely over the moon with the result and will definitely be having them return to do our back elevation shortly.
