Excellent service from Emperor with very prompt delivery via DPD. I had a problem with one of the samples that was delivered incorrectly but it was dealt with the same day.

Applied on top of Stormdry

We applied Stormdry to the outside of our newly plastered garage walls. Following some deep research, we learnt most masonary paints could not be applied on top of Stormdry. Emperor paint was recommended and although it was pricey, we purchased and applied to our garage walls. It was easy to apply and we are delighted with the finish. We would not hesitate in purchasing this paint in the future, some things are just worth paying a little bit extra for and it was easily applied, lovely paint to work with.

Hello Liz,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful and detailed review. We're delighted to hear that you found the paint easy to apply and are so pleased with the finished result. It's fantastic to know that you enjoyed working with it and feel it was well worth the investment.

We wouldn't normally recommend applying our paint over Stormdry, as it can affect how well the paint bonds to the surface.

However, we're really pleased to hear that you've achieved such a lovely finish and are happy with the results.

HI CUSTOMER SERVICE VERY HELPFUL

HI CUSTOMER SERVICE VERY HELPFUL, ALL PAINTS & EQUIPMENT ARRIVED PROMPTLY THANK YOU, ONE QUESTION CAN YOU USE PAINT OVER SEALING CREME ON BRICKWORK AND CONCRETE FLOOR ?

10 July 2026
Emperor Paint logo

Reply from Emperor Paint

Hello Anthony,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

Thank you for your review. We're pleased to hear that you found our customer service helpful and that your paints and equipment arrived promptly.

Regarding your question, Emperor Sealing Creme is designed to penetrate into porous surfaces such as brickwork and concrete to provide water repellence. Once applied, it can affect the absorbency of the surface, so we would not recommend applying paint over areas treated with Sealing Creme, as the paint may not adhere correctly.

Good waterproofing on wall underground level

Ordered by 1pm and received my order next day, very efficient and quick turnaround.
We used the product to seal a new brick wall built with lime mortar, the wall is 300mm under ground level. The result was good, splashed water to test it 2hr after, water was running not sitting on the surface! I will be using it on another wall that had water penetration in the past! Good product.

Hello Faoth,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We're delighted to hear that your order arrived the very next day and that you were pleased with the speed of our service.

It's also great to know that the product performed so well on your new lime mortar brick wall and that you could see the water-repellent effect so quickly. We hope it continues to provide long-lasting protection, and we're pleased to hear you'll be using it on another wall that has experienced water penetration in the past.

Thank you for choosing Emperor, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Seems like a good paint

Seems like a good paint. Covered exterior walls smoothly. Only time will tell now as to how it will stand up to Shetland winter weather, but so far so good.

Hello Martin,

Thank you for taking time to leave us a review.

We're delighted to hear that the paint applied smoothly and provided the coverage you were looking for. Shetland's weather certainly provides a tough test for any exterior coating, so we're pleased that your first impressions have been so positive.

We hope the paint continues to protect and keep your property looking its best for many years to come. Thank you again for choosing Emperor Paint.
