Anti-climb paint recommendations required

[Ferdinand]

I am looking for a brand of non-setting anti-climb paint.

 

We have had a spate of lead thefts, including my neighbour's bay window tops (the house is empty for sale).

 

I plan to paint the tops of my bay windows with anti-climb paint to make the lead unpleasant to steal.

Can any one recommend?

 

Thanks

Blackfriar stuff works fine:

Sorry to be a nanny but do also remember your legal obligation:

Hmm.

 

What would my sign obligations be using it just on the flat top of two bay windows? I don't see where I would put signs.

 

Interesting failure of the police men to go all the way to a prosecution - householder refused a police caution and they backed down Perhaps the failed court case Ratcliff vs McConnell  had some effect (climbed over locked gate and dived into half empty swimming pool).

I know its not an immediate solution, but you can't beat a nice spiny rose, or other bushing plants such as Pyracantha.  Nature is nature.

Cheers all.

 

I looked extensively into this, and recommended brands are Coo Var (or Coov Ar like a pirate depending on how good your supplier's spelling happens to be) or Blackfriar based on reading a lot of online reviews. The B&Q supplied brand Fortress seems or be deprecated. And there is a brand NVP which I cannot find reviews about.

 

Prices are HUGELY variable. Like 400% variable.

 

Red, Grey, Green and Black are common colours, especially from Coo Var. Getting coloured paints in smaller sizes is difficult and inconsistent. Ideally I wanted Grey in 1L or 2L - cannot get it easily.

 

Wickes do supply coloured anti slip, at about £50 for 4L, which is an OK price, esp. if you have a Trade or Discount card. Good prices are not especially available via Amazon even with free delivery, but you may be lucky.

 

I ended up with 1L Blackfriar black from Screwfix for £12.99. In stock but they would not deliver.

 

Unfortunately @TerryE Pyracanthas would not be something we would want up this house ... there is a path round our bay windows, and it would take 5-7 years.

 

Cheers

Final note.

 

I bought *this* warning sign from Amazon because it is designed to be screwed on rather than use adhesive. At £1.74. If it turns out to be dreadful quality I will add a note.
