Always my first choice for paint... their colour matching service is very accurate. They even managed to match a paint that had gone out of production. Great and attentive service.

Very quick First Rate
Very quick, accurate service. Actually rang me up to check something. First rate.
Wood preservative
The paint was delivered on time. Holman also rang me to check my colour preference. As the product in question is a wood preservative only time will tell how good it turns out to be.
Clear website & good service
Clear website, easy to use, an accurate description and delivery was exactly as advised.

Teknos woodstain
I am really pleased with this this product..From placing my order online until delvery. Would recommend this site to family and friends
Good company but awful delivery via FedEx
Good company to deal with and can dispatch out Teknos paint quickly. However, they use FedEx to deliver and both times have been a disaster. First time a year or so ago paint pot was burst by rough handling. Holman Paints did send out a replacement.
This year recently a paint order which was paid for to be delivered before 09:30 but was not delivered. Fedex claimed that they tried to deliver but this was not true. I did eventually receive it later that day in the afternoon and was told by the driver that they had not in fact tried to deliver it earlier. So will be wary of using Holman paints again if they continue to use FedEx to deliver.

Excellent Service 5*
Excellent Service
I place my order online, Holman Paints noticed a possible issue with my order (possible incorrect code) and called me immediately to ask some questions about my order. Saved me taking delivery of an incorrect item. Great customer service. Thank you and well done.
I was advised the tin of paint I had…
EI was advised the tin of paint I had ordered was the last one and had been opened and there was approximately 75% left and the priced was reduced by half.
I asked if the tin was damaged or dented and was advised it was not and decided to accept the half price offer. However, when the paint was received the tin had numerous dents.
The paint was very well packed and the box had not suffered any damage whilst in transit so the damage must have been present before sending, despite receiving confirmation that it was not dented or damaged.
I called and could not speak with the person who I had previously spoken to and gave details to a colleague who said he would pass on the details.
10 days later I am still waiting for a call back.
EDIT after Holman reply:
The tin had 2 dents and a crease as shown in the photos sent to you.
The reason for 2 stars is because I was lied to about the condition of the tin and also because nobody had the courtesy to call me back despite an assurance that they would.

Paint arrived again with tin all bashed…
Paint arrived again with tin all bashed in leaking around the lid , this is the 4th order from you now and all the tins in all 4 orders have been dented in some way you need to sort out your packaging its no joke .
