We have a long wearing sprayed on coating on our external walls (the
rendered bits) but some areas need "refreshing" such as where doors and
windows have been moved.

There seem to be a number of firms with Wallshield in the title, most of
which seem to have ceased trading.

Our external walls are from the Wallshield Coating Company Limited, and
the paperwork shows at least two offices, one in London WC1N 3XX and the
other in Bournemouth Business Centre BH7 6DS.

So far Googling hasn't shown that they are closed down but their website
at http://www.wallshield.com reports that it is suspended for urgent
maintenance (which could obviously include paying outstanding invoices
to the web host). Phone is unobtainable so the clues are there.

Strangely, the invoice which came with the house paperwork shows that
the work in 2003 was done by the Bournemouth branch, even though we are
north of London.

Has anyone come across a version of this company which is currently
trading and offering a sprayed wall covering?

Just to add that on our house the coating seems to have worked well; we
are almost at the end of the 15 year guarantee (which as backed by the
company and not insurance - as in not worth the paper etc.) and there
are no signs of flaking or peeling.

Just exploring the possibility of getting something to more or less
match.

Cost about £5.5k in 2003 so not bad value.

Just to add that we have a large tub of Wallshield which came with the
house.
It still sounds sloppy (don't want to open it until I have to) so it may
even be usable.
As it was applied by a sprayer, does anyone know a sprayer for hire which
could handle this kind of wall coating?

Needs to be special because the wall covering is pretty sharp and vicious
- feels a bit like sea shell chippings - so it would have to be a
specialist sprayer.

I suspect so specialist that only the coating companies have them.

Still, someone on here may have applied such a sprayed coating, so no harm
in asking.
