Colour problem

We have recently painted our lounge and kitchen after choosing the colours we wanted.
Unfortunately, when on the wall, they are both far from the colours on the paint chart. We bought a second tin (different colour) for the kitchen and still the same problem. The shop told us it is due to the light in the room! Surely not, otherwise how can you choose the colour you want according to the light in the room?

Hi Peter, I am sorry to hear this. Lighting conditions and furniture in the room can have a considerable effect on the final shade you achieve, which is why we recommend opting for a tester pot. Please can you get back to use with the details from the can and we can investigate this for you.  Please contact us on  Tel 0333 222 7171 or email duluxvirtual@akzonobel.com quoting reference number GB- 3683929 HD Thanks Helen.

Incredibly impressed

I'm incredibly impressed with the service I received from Raj at Dulux Customer Services. We had a challenging customer issue that needed resolving, and Raj's communication throughout the process was fantastic. It was handled with a friendly and supportive approach, going above and beyond to ensure the situation was resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction, it's great to work with someone so dedicated. Thank you, Raj!

First review on trust pilot

First review on trust pilot. Established painting and decorating contractor in Glasgow since 1997. Recently picked up the new Dulux “ advanced contract Matt “ to try out. I use supermatt a lot. I think it’s a great product so I was keen to compare the new advanced contract Matt. Happy to review my thoughts. In can consistency good. Application no problem at all with brush and roller. Not put it through an airless unit as yet. Finish nice a flat. Ideal for task in hand. I will be using it again on more projects.

Thank you Saima for your outstanding support

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support with our Trade Morning Light paint issue. I really appreciated how you followed up with me when I hadn’t yet responded—it showed both attentiveness and professionalism.

What impressed me most was your commitment to resolving the matter yourself rather than involving other colleagues.

When my partner had already purchased the alternative paint, you didn’t miss a beat and generously offered a credit note for future use, ensuring we could still benefit from your support.

Your hands-on approach, clear communication, and considerate follow-ups made the process smooth and reassuring. It’s a pleasure working with someone so reliable, dedicated, and thoughtful.

Thank you again for everything—it really made a difference.

Great customer service following an issue with paint

I had a problem with some Dulux Heritage paint (Green Slate which looked very different in real life to the samples/online) and contacted customer services for some advice. I was fortunate to deal with Raj Jheeta who provided consistently excellent, professional, friendly, patient and solution driven advice over our many emails, thank you Raj you are a credit to Dulux.

I have already fed back my comments…

I have already fed back my comments about this setrvice both by telephone and in writing. We ordered tester paints on Nov 17 based on the 3-5 working days indicated on the website and they still had not arrived on Nov 25. Contradictory updates on the estimated arrival date followed and, when I phoned the number provided, I was given no further assistance, just vague statements about "problems at the warehouse". When they finally arrived, it would have been too late to try them, order the paint itself and complete the work in the time I needed. I will now think twice before ordering any other Dulux products.

I understand that the team has reached out to you via email multiple times. If you could please respond to them regarding GB-3640065, they will be able to help you resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Helen.

What can I say

What can I say! Fabulous customer service which sadly is often lacking in this day and age!
Weve just had the unbelievably beautiful Olive Tree on our new bedroom walls and it looks todiefor!
However we had a question about a tiny part of it, so I contacted them and they couldn’t have been more helpful.
We’ve got the Powder Colour paint arriving today for another bedroom and I can’t wait to see it on the walls.
Just wish I’d found out about this Heritage paint years ago! But I’d suggest to not put it in an area with a mad amount of traffic as I don’t think it would be hard wearing enough.
But other than that i bet you won’t want to use any other type of paint, it’s just such a lovely finish.

Explanation of the sheen level of different paints

We needed a paint for our en suite and was sold vinyl sheen by a local builders merchants. I did not want too high a gloss on the walls. I contacted Dulux to find out if bathroom paint would be better. Very helpful young man clarified this for me.

Dulux Claim paint is breathable but do not provide any evidence. I called technical service they responded to my query but had to pass it on. (In reality not a technical query number!) They need to at least provide evidence on the breathability of paints?

We’re sorry to hear you did not find the information provided useful.

To clarify, we do not share lists of the SD Values of our products, but we can share the EN 1062 classification of our Trade wall emulsions. EN 1062 is a European Standard and method for determining the liquid water permeability of coatings:

Paints are formulated to resist or permit water vapor transmission. The V value is the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) and measures the passage of water vapor through a substance of a given unit area and unit time (Normally this is a 24 hour period):

Class V1 - Highly Breathable – SD less than 0.14
Class V2 - Moderately Breathable – SD in-between 0.14 to 1.4
Class V3 - Limited Breathability – SD more than 1.4

If you have a specific Trade wall emulsion in mind, please let us know and we can advise the EN 1062 Class for you.

You can contact us via https://www.dulux.co.uk/en/contact-us.

Alternatively, there is a separate aspect of paints called VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and we label the VOC level on our cans, with water based paints being rated LOW or even MINIMAL depending on the paint (some of our wall paints are 99.9% VOC free). We would be happy to provide VOC information on our paints as well.

Dulux Customer Service was great

Dulux Customer Service was great. I had a problem with a tin of paint bought from a (reputable) company who didn’t want to resolve the issue for me, but Dulux stepped in and resolved this quickly, thank you!

Good and prompt service to my queries.
I didn’t give 5 stars due to the paint. The smooth hammerite does not cover well on bright steel and needs a primer.
Compared to other POR type products not the best
