Mine was underwritten by a well known company, but I've never had a
problem other than they sprayed over a window sill and now its rotting.
User error.
Anyway, I believe the actual process and paint are made by one company and
they licence the equipment and method to other companies, hence the
changes in name all the time. Of course I do find that when you do damage
it, its really very hard to mend it around doors etc, and eventually water
will get in and blow any render which they fixed before the last spray.
Yes I agree that these coatings are now very good indeed, until you need
to do any work that punctures the coating of course.

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.

Cheers
