What our customers found before they bought
“The bottom photo was my old planning application that got rejected, and the top one was the new submission. The difference is small, but for some councils that tiny shift in tone is what makes the call: they reject pure white and accept cream.”
“The time it saves me means I can knock 10 pounds off every quote, both for regulars and new customers.”
“Cream white is brilliant and the base of the wall is picked up perfectly.”
