When I ordered the paint


When I ordered the paint, I had selected the incorrect sheen level, I rang them and they immediately ammended the order without any hassle.

My order arrived before what I expected it would which was fantastic and it was very well packaged.

I have used Holman Paints a number of times and they are always very professional

All good experience so far

All good experience so far. I was looking for a high quality anti microbial paint, HSS website was very useful in aiding my choice. It took a week to arrive, which is slightly long delivery, but not worth bothering about in the long run. My decorator is happy with the quality of the paint. It was expensive compared to traditional paints, but it is a specialist formula, you get what you pay for in my experience. I have good expectations of this product.

Let me paint you a picture

Anti Fungus Paint ordered for a bathroom used by 3 tenants. None of my tenants are capable of opening a window (the house has central heating so the 'it's too cold excuse' is not a reasonable excuse). Even though there is a good quality extractor fan in the 1.6 x 1.9 bathroom, naturally mould starts to form on the ceiling and around the window (particularly on cold spots). I've cleaned it numerous times but needed something to prevent it from coming back so after some research I discovered Glixtone Anti-Fungal paint. It has loads of great reviews so I thought I'd give it a go. I ordered it from Holman Specialist Paint as they had it at the best price. The paint arrived on time and well packaged. The ceiling and around the window have now been painted for about a week and so far so good. The paint does go on really nicely, oh anyone doing this should clean the area with sterilizer Glixtone do their own but in theory you can use any sterilizing solution. It does say on the can that 1 litre covers up to 13M2 I managed 2 coats equalling 6m2 and ended up with a splash of paint left in the can.
