Testimonials

I stumbled across Andrews Coating Services as i was moaning about having spent laids on Everest (waste of a LOT of money) Concrete driveway paint and sealant only for petals to stick to it in rain, fade really badly, and peal away after 18 mths.
I spoke to Matt initially and explained my predicament and what i wanted to achieve with the paint and its application, his knowledge is second to none and having qualified my needs unlike the generic paint suppliers his can do attitude and understanding and quick turnaround made me visit him and place orders, the fact that you can choose pit of 70k+ colours is great but the fact that they just don't do domestic paints they also do specilaist paints such as hygienic wipe down and commercial and a vast array of other types too...

I can't fault the service and courtesy of this firm. The order was delivered as promised, and when a slight issue arose, it was corrected without question and quickly. I would use this firm repeatedly, and it is refreshing to find such good service nowadays. Also, they stocked the specialist products I wanted, when many were unable to supply. I am a customer for life.
