Great Training – Highly Recommend

The Corksol Applicator Course was clear, hands-on, and really well delivered. The trainers were knowledgeable, supportive, and made the whole process easy to follow. I left feeling confident and ready to use Corksol professionally. Definitely worth it!

From start to finish, Jamie was the ultimate professional. He arrived exactly when he said he would to provide a quote, delivered a quick turnaround on pricing, and promptly booked a date for the job. From showing us different samples to organising his own scaffolders, he made the whole process effortless for us as customers. The work was completed to the highest standard, and everything was left clean and tidy — our house looks fresh and fantastic!

Interesting course, very friendly and informative course provider. Learned a lot of really useful information. Looking forward to getting started.

Jamie was very informative and happy to answer questions, and I had many. Great course, great product, looking forward to getting going with Corksol

Jamie and the team are very welcoming, had a great day on the course all questions answered. Looking forward to using the product

I have been looking for a solution for the finish on my property which didn't require a full strip back to brick and a full re render. The environmental impact aside the work required felt excessive. Fat Boy Skim of Brighton suggested the Cork, the work they have done and the product that CorkSol supplied is exceptional and has provided an excellent finish to the property. 5 stars from me and very pleased with the outcome.

Great customer service, training facility and innovative - great to learn about the product and what cork can be used for. Training course was top notch and valued what they have taught

Hands on practical training applications of all 3 layers from start to finish was brilliant!

Very good training course . Very professional.

Great course on an excellent product. This will take off in the future.

Brilliant course, we will definitely be using this product and offering it to our customers!

Well explained, great course to learn a great product

Great experience definitely recommend

Great course . Very informative and hands on .

Excellent comprehensive training coupled with on the job back up. What could be better?

Jamie was brilliant. Informative and helpful course. Lots of interesting information and practical sessions. Left feeling confident to tackle my first job. Thanks so much for the day.

I wanted my Mercedes Sprinter fully sound-deadened and insulated before starting my camper build. With all the curves and structural beams, I knew I needed a continuous seal – no bare metal left exposed where condensation would inevitably be drawn to once we are living in it full time.

I couldn't really find anywhere to get this done, and after trawling the internet - I found CorkSol UK, and Jamie. As a camper enthusiast himself, he completely got what I was aiming for. The product is outstanding, his knowledge is spot on, and the finish is better than I could have imagined. The van is now fully insulated and soundproofed – the perfect base for my build.

Honestly can’t believe how good it looks and the temperature inside is stable - no matter what the weather is outside. Exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend.

Disappointed, damaged, and still cleaning up — CorkSol’s long response doesn’t change the facts

Following CorkSol’s latest response to our original review, we feel it’s important to set the record straight and provide additional context, including excerpts from our email exchange with the company.

This situation began when a CorkSol-accredited applicator sprayed their product on our semi-detached neighbour’s home — and overspray coated our property: black-painted railings, cars, windows, patio, water butts, and plants.
The claim that CorkSol was unaware until the review
“None of this was communicated to us… we were only made aware of this when John’s review appeared.”

False. The contractor was made aware at the time and clearly failed to report it to CorkSol. That is not our responsibility — it’s CorkSol’s job to vet and manage the professionals they train and endorse. Once we became aware of CorkSol’s involvement in accrediting the applicator, we contacted them directly. The review was a last resort after our concerns were not taken seriously.

CorkSol distances themselves from liability
“John contacted us requesting that we pay him compensation for damage we had not caused.”

CorkSol’s position is that because the applicator is an independent contractor — despite being trained, accredited, and recommended by CorkSol — they have zero responsibility. This is troubling for any potential customer. If CorkSol is happy to promote applicators under their name, it’s reasonable to expect accountability when things go wrong. If there’s no oversight or recourse, what is the value of the “accreditation” they so proudly reference?

In law, CorkSol may not be liable for the actions of their applicators. But they are surely responsible for the product itself. Despite power-washing, we still cannot remove the render from our patio.
Regardless of who applied it, if CorkSol’s product cannot be removed without specialist intervention or surface damage, we will be seriously considering legal advice about the product itself.

Misleading characterisation of the review
“John had tried to implicate us, which was blatantly untrue.”
“We did not express more concern over our online image than making things right.”

Actually, our review explicitly stated that the work was carried out by an accredited applicator — and that CorkSol was not the contractor. We did, however, hold CorkSol accountable for its role in endorsing that individual. The review was fair, truthful, and written in good faith. Trustpilot agreed and allowed it to remain.

As for prioritising image? In their very first emailed reply, CorkSol stated:

“I maintain that your Trust Pilot review is unfair and, I am advised, is defamatory.”

They also said: “I have reported the matter to Trust Pilot, but would like to afford you the opportunity of amending your review…”

To us, this absolutely felt like an attempt to silence or intimidate. That was the moment CorkSol could have shown integrity and concern — instead, they focused on damage control.

Inadequate cleaning advice
After repeated requests, we were eventually told:

“With respect to your railings I would expect that a fine sandpaper would remove the cork, which is after all wood.”

This was astonishing. SprayCork is a resin-bound composite that bonds to surfaces — and they suggest sandpapering painted metal railings, as though it’s raw cork or timber? We had already been advised by professionals that sanding would damage the finish and wasn’t safe.

As I said to CorkSol by email in reply to this suggestion:
“We understand that SprayCork contains natural cork, but it is clearly a resin-bound composite, designed to strongly adhere to surfaces and withstand the elements. Once applied and cured, it is not simply “wood” — and attempting to sand it off our painted metalwork risks damaging the surface further. We have already consulted the professional who originally installed the railings, and they were clear: the railings now need to be stripped and dipped. Sandpaper is not an appropriate or safe solution.”

The impact on us
This ordeal has taken time, money, and emotional energy. It has also placed unnecessary strain on our relationship with our neighbours, who were mortified by what happened. Our property is still marked with CorkSol product, and we remain without a proper remedy.

Final thoughts.
What we’ve experienced is a company unwilling to take ownership of the broader ecosystem they promote

If you’re considering using CorkSol or one of their accredited applicators, especially near a neighbouring property, think very carefully. If anything goes wrong, you may be left in the same situation we are — cleaning it up alone, and with no meaningful support.

We looked into Corksol for the back of our house as our existing paint was flaking off and the downstairs bathroom gets very cold in winter. When we emailed we were given the details of Jack from J1 Plastering who is one of their approved applicators and other useful info about the product. Jack was really friendly and very knowledgeable about the corksol product. He completed the work quickly and we're very happy with the quality of finish. We chose the cotton colour which complements the white window frames nicely and he even resprayed our downpipes and painted the window sills for us so the overall look was smart.

As the cork is sprayed on there are naturally areas where the surface was uneven before that it smooths a little but doesn't fully make flat, but with any house there are always imperfections up close and the overall look when you step back is great. Jack had already set our expectations of this so I wasn't surprised at the odd bit here or there. It does get everywhere, but he masked up all the windows etc and came back to clean off the odd bit that snuck round the masking. Great job and service, would highly recommend.
