Order received on time, packed very well and secure
Product easy to use and in manageable five litre cans. Considerable price increase since I last purchased the same item, it was easy to order on the phone and delivered to my address with no hassle.

Easy to apply and does the job we want to make our new fencing last longer
Creosolve was recommended by our contractor as the 'must have' product to maintain our new fence in tip-top condition. We have extensive fencing on all four of our boundaries and have applied two coats of Cresolve on both sides of all the fencing. Looks good and our contractor says we are doing exactly what he recommended.

Great colour, easy to apply
My son recommended this product as I
didn't want to paint just protect the wood.
Of my fence & wooden garden swing.
It just bought out the grain in the wood & great colour

Does the job perfectly
Good value as this product goes a long way. Old sleepers now look like new and rain does not penetrate once dry. Would thoroughly recommend.

Good product, easy to use, gives good coverage
Thrilled with the light brown colour. Looking forward to the rain stopping, the fence drying out, and applying a second coat.

Soaks well into the wood
Overall not bad. Our application was treating very tarry railway sleepers, went on well, smelled awful! Not sure if it's the tar or the creosolve but there are areas that now seem to need another application after not that long.

Used before excellent waterproofing
Easy to apply and excellent for Garden Sheds and fencing.
Mark Russell. Dark, 4L (24/10/22)
The best product for sheds and fences
Excellent product. Just as good as the old creosote. Easy to apply and one coat was sufficient to do the job.
J. Laws. Dark, 4L (24/08/22)
Gives good cover
First coat covered well will leave it a couple of weeks to see if it needs another coat
