Press Release Summary = Up until now the consumer has had to wait for late spring or
summer, for the good weather, at least here in the UK, to get their homes painted.
Not any more!

Press Release Body = The summer is also usually the time that builders are too busy
doing extensions and other major projects; quotes and estimates take ages to come
through, if at all, and some painters are far too busy working elsewhere, to do the
job. So the consumer sometimes tries it themselves, and according to accident and
emergency statistics, they often injure themselves, or worse, in the process. Some
have even suggested that the days of DIY are long gone, ushering in the new DFY boom
("Done for you").

Many hone owners are now getting a professional company in to do the job instead of
attempting DIY projects and they don't have to wait until summer now! People with
less time on their hands are looking for a versatile company with a product that
they actually guarantee that they never have to come back the year after!

That\'s a good thing.

There is now a special type of long life sprayed on wall paint that actually lasts
for up to 25 years, stops damp exterior walls, insulates houses & banishes
repainting! Never Paint AgainT exterior wall coating systems is the most one of the
more well known brands.

The company makes a long life paint, or wallcoating, which is essentially a very
thick, viscous coloured coating and is professionally applied with an industrial
spray machine, rather than a paint brush. That typically involves a tremendous
amount of preparation and work to get it right, especially as a guarantee is often
included against fading, cracking, chipping or peeling.

This is tough stuff and can be applied to the house all year round!

There are some really good exterior coating and paint companies that can give an
excellent service, but as always it's usually the saying that the consumer gets what
they pay for! It is advised for homeowners to select around 3, maybe 4 maximum,
exterior wallcoating contractors, for estimates & quotations, the internet being the
best place to look, rather than waiting for one of the high pressure textured
coating companies to approach them.

There are many fantastic exterior coating contractors around now, and by no means
are they all bad! Some also offer other related services like UPVC replacement
gutters and fascias, cladding, roof coatings etc.
As the coating paint products outlast virtually every other product applied to
exterior walls, it\'s not a short term solution, it\'s a long term one and nor is it a
quick cheap fix.

Contrary to popular belief, by no means all the wall coating sales people in the UK
are high pressure, far from it. Many are seasoned professionals with many years in
the industry, who can help and advise of the best course of action in a step by step
process.

In summary, if a house is worth around £200,000 for example, is spending £1,000 on a
quick lick of paint for the outside a false economy? Come the summer time, the home
owner will find it hard to get the house painted, time to take action now!

In the current stagnant UK housing market, the properties that sell the quickest,
according to leading estate agents, are the ones that look the best from the road,
and are generally free of defects. Why wait until the summer? A wallcoating company
can in most cases, work on your home during any part of the year, including winter,
so getting them to refurbish the outside of the home in February, for example, is
not a problem.

The family home is often a person's largest asset and it is very important to look
after the exterior walls and get something good on there, it's worth it, especially
if it lasts a long time. Why not consider an exterior spray applied masonry wall
coating? It could be done right now, why wait until the summer?
