    Rendering of 3 sides of our house

    Posted 31 May

    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

    Karl and his team have done a fantastic job rendering our home. It looks brand new when he finished. They were very hard working, cleaned everything down when they finished and were friendly and professional. I would recommend Karl and his team to anyone.

    Insulated render.

    Posted 25 February

    Karl came and gave us the colour chart and gave us advice on what colour would suit our windows. We went for the insulated render which will hopefully save a bit on our heating costs. Karl and his team cracked on in freezing weather to get the job done. They cleaned down after and have done a really neat job, it looks amazing, and has finished off our house externally. Really happy it and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to family and friends.

    Full re-render with insulation

    Posted 24 February

    External Coatings did a great job with my renovation. Due to other trades changing dates, I had to put Carl and his team back a couple of times, but no problems for them. The quality and finish of their work was second to none, and they were prompt, tidy and friendly. Couldn't recommend them more.
