not sure who finances the web site tho:)
I am half way through doing the bathroom - I have used 'trade ' for the walls and can certainly say that coverage and cover is excellent. New plaster, primed with white, before the expensive Dulux shop mixed colour. Cost was not a consideration as I had to get it in, the 24 hours before lockdown and since I had run out of options on getting somebody in to do it total cost was still less.
They do do a cheaper branded 'Armstead' label for the white emulsion - the 'trade' all seem to use it. Both are AzkoNobel products and suppoertred by the same Technical Help Line in Slough.
