    Excellent Job from Start to Finish

    Posted 24 September

    From start to finish, Karl and his team was professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled. They took the time to explain the process, offered helpful advice on finishes, and delivered exactly what they promised on time. The quality of the workmanship Karl and his team provided is top-notch. Our home looks completely transformed, with a clean, modern finish. Karl and his team paid great attention to detail and made sure everything was cleaned up afterwards. We would highly recommend External Coatings to anyone looking for high-quality work. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Karl and team.

    Rendering

    Posted 21 September

    Karl did a fantastic job on our rendering. Worked really hard, arriving nice and early to get a full day's work in. Turn around was tight due to us going away, but he got everything finished. I wouldn't hesitate using Karl and his team again.

    Carl and his team were fantastic and their work excellent. Arrangements made with them were met and they had attention to detail in terms of quality and care. They were clean and tidy and even came and jet washed at the end of the job. I would highly recommend them
