Not impressed with delivery company.
Would have given 5 stars however the courier company let the process down, they delayed delivery, left the package just over the fence by our front gate, then put on their on line delivery note that I had signed for it. I was in all day the delivery person only had to come to the front door. Not impressed with DHL.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your review—we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We’re so pleased to hear you would have given us 5 stars, but we’re very sorry that the delivery let things down. As I personally told you on the phone yesterday, that’s certainly not the standard we expect, and we understand how frustrating it must have been—especially being home and still having the parcel left unattended and marked as signed for.
We’ll be raising this with DHL to ensure it’s looked into, as this isn’t acceptable service.
If there’s anything further we can do for you, or if you’d like us to follow this up in more detail, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Thanks again for your feedback and for your support,
Regards,
Julian
Exceptional as always.
As always Mylands have proven exceptional. Paint was ordered over the bank holiday and was delivered promptly afterwards. I haven’t yet opened the paint but I have no doubt it will be top notch. The paint arrived well packaged.

Mylands must be the best paint industry secret ever, It by far surpasses everything else I’ve ever tried. Perfection!
I’ve been buying farrow and ball for years but became increasingly disillusioned with the paint, thin and when touching up quick to change colour so touch ups showed up and where far too obvious. I looked for something better, longer lasting, more durable and easier to apply and tried lots of alternatives, all top of the range, a lot more expensive than F&B and then I finally found Mylands and will never use another brand of paint ever again. The colours are extremely saturated, the paint thick and so easy to apply, we didn’t need to bother with a dust sheet despite a cream carpet. Honestly I’ve never known a paint go on as easily, it didn’t even need a second coat despite it being a pale colour over a very dark blue, we eventually decided to put a second coat on just to protect against scratches and scrapes but it truly covered in one.
I’m so so impressed and my house will soon be a Mylands house as we redecorate room by room. It’s hardwearing, needs to be with too muddy dogs, totally wipable and beautifully matt. Plus patching up two years on, in a room with a fireplace, totally worked, you couldn’t see where I’d gone over a mark made by moving furniture around and scratching the wall badly, now there is no way to see where the scratch was, amazing.
By far the best paint ever, thank you Mylands for producing my dream paint, it ticks every box and then some and the colours are stunning.
Just painted another room using Mylands serpentine and again it surpassed all our expectations, was so easy to paint and looks spectacular, a lovely soft olive green that brings the outside in and makes me think of spring and summer even on the most miserable day and despite it being a room without much natural light.
Can’t wait to start the next project, but first I’m trying Mylands gloss on the windows and skirting boards and will report back, I’m hoping it’s as easy to use as the Mylands emulsion.which is harder wearing than F&B Modern Emulsion but as Matt as the estate emulsion at least, so if you want colour that lasts and doesn’t fade or change, want paint that’s really easy to apply and doesn’t splash everywhere, even when using a roller, want it to be be truly Matt to hide imperfections and want colours to suit every home from a little cottage like mine, to a modern property you honestly can’t go wrong.
It also comes in a huge range of finishes so you can use their standard Matt emulsion that I have used that is incredibly Matt, dead flat Matt, satin, eggshell, gloss, floor and masonry paint, all in so many colours. Your house can be various shades of off whites, or muted classic shades or bright and colourful, whatever you want Mylands has it.
Don’t think twice, delivery is quick and ordering easy but it’s the quality that is out of this world.

Hi Santa,
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review.
We're absolutely delighted to hear about your experience with Mylands and that the paint has exceeded your expectations in so many ways.
It’s wonderful to know that you found the coverage, depth of colour and ease of application such a step up, especially when painting over darker shades. Hearing that it performed so well in a busy home with muddy dogs and still remains durable and wipeable is exactly what we aim for when formulating our paints.
We’re particularly pleased to hear that the touch-ups two years on blended seamlessly — that kind of long-term performance is something we’re very proud of. And Serpentine sounds like a beautiful choice; it’s one of those colours that really can transform a space, especially in rooms with limited natural light.
Thank you as well for highlighting the range of finishes and colours available. It means a lot to hear that Mylands is becoming your go-to as you redecorate room by room.
We hope the gloss works just as well for your windows and skirting boards, and we’d love to hear how you get on with it. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience and for choosing Mylands for your home.
Warmest thanks,
Julian
Absolutely stand out paint quality and service
Absolutely stand out paint quality. We bought the Gold 001 metallic paint and it has to be world leading standard.
Customer service was second to none also - I had a couple of issues with application (my fault!) and Elijah went away and ran some tests in their office so I didn’t have to risk damaging my walls.
Will definitely buy from them again.

Hello Daniel,
Thank you so much for your fantastic review!
We’re thrilled to hear that you love the FTT001 Rich Gold paint and that it lived up to your expectations. Creating finishes that truly stand out is exactly what we aim for, so it’s great to know it made such an impression.
We’re also really glad Elijah was able to help with your application questions. Our team always wants to make sure customers feel confident using our products, so taking the time to test things and find the right solution is something we’re happy to do.
Thanks again for your support, and we look forward to helping with your next project!
Helpful and knowledgeable!
Thanks so much to Elijah for talking me through all my options while looking for a stain and finish for the restoration of my old pine floors. It's such a minefield and Elijah patiently helped out troubleshooting some staining issues I was having testing out a light-fast stain.

Hi Ez,
Thank you so much for your kind review.
We're delighted to hear that Elijah was able to guide you through the options and help troubleshoot the staining issues while you were testing finishes for your pine floor restoration. It can definitely feel like a bit of a minefield, so we're really pleased he could make the process clearer and more manageable.
We’d love to see how the floors turn out—best of luck with the rest of the project, and thank you again for choosing Mylands!

Take it from a Pro
As a professional decorator, I like to make sure I am giving my customers a quality finish that will last, and as such, regularly test different manufacturers products to ensure I am providing the best, and I thought I was until I tried Mylands...
Wow... The ease of application, coverage, opacity, finish and durability are absolutely mind blowing throughout the full range! Applied both by brush and roller and by spray methods, it is an absolute joy to use! Yes, the price tag may be slightly more expensive than your ticket every day paints, but when you're taking a matter of pence per square metre, and you know you are guaranteed a top notch finish that will last, that price tag makes a lot more sense!
There's a reason I now solely use Mylands, and I hope to enjoy many more years of the same!

Using Mylands Plant based satin for old cast iron fireplaces 🔥
Using Mylands Plant based satin for first time as a pro decorator. Highly recommended by some of my deccie mates.
Wanted to initially spray two old cast iron fireplaces to restore due to time and filler not drying decided to hand paint them. Used a thimble full surprised at the opacity. Looking forward to trying other products. Wish I found Mylands years ago.

My disappointment was resolved
Update: Mylands contacted me directly following my 1* review, arranged collection and processed a refund promptly. While the shade didn’t work in my space, I appreciate the effort to resolve the issue.
Very disappointed in Mylands. Having used a number of paints from this company over the years, I was disappointed by Bloomsbury. It does not match either the swatch or the tester pot and is actually very lilac.
Customer services seems to be manned exclusively by one gentleman who is rude, dismissive and quite confrontational.
I shall not be buying from them again.

Hi Rae,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review on Trustpilot.
We’re very sorry to read about your recent experience, particularly as you’ve been a returning customer over the years.
Bloomsbury is a special shade, and while variations can sometimes occur due to lighting, surface preparation, or application method, it could be a result of applying it directly on a yellow substrate instead of using the recommended light grey primer.
Definitely, that’s not the experience we want for our customers.
We’re also especially disappointed to learn that you felt your interaction with customer services was rude or dismissive. This is not reflective of the standard of service we aim to provide, and we are sorry for the confusion.
We would welcome the opportunity to investigate this further and see if we can resolve the issue for you.
I believe, a collection of the paint has already been arranged, and it will be passed on to production to check its formula.
I will contact you separately to assist you further.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Regards,
Julian

If it ever arrives, I'll update this
I only ordered samples from this company, and thankfully my losses are minimal for this reason. I will not order anything more.
Unlike their peers, Mylands charges to deliver every sample; by contrast, Farrow & Ball delivery is free for every sample, Edward Bulmer offers free delivery with 2+ samples, etc. The delivery fee is relatively high, almost as much as the sample pot itself.
Considering this, the service is terrible. Day 5 and still no sample. If a little sample pot is this much trouble, God forbid I should order £200 worth of paint.
Spare yourself the anxiety (and money) and just get a colour match at B&Q.
If the sample ever arrives, I'll update this to add a star.
Update: Mylands processed a refund, though their claim DPD tried to contact me is untrue. Only they did. A week later, today, DPD show up at my door with the parcel (so there was no address issue, which I knew), which I refuse (so as to return to sender) as the refund has already been processed. What do they do? Leave it at a local parcel shop! Unbelievably bad (especially when paying for the privilege).
Added a star for at least processing the refund quickly.

Hi Anne,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
Your order was despatched promptly, we did reply to your email within minutes when you contacted us, we did try calling you to assist you with your issue, and we were unable to get through.
We investigated the issue with your delivery, and we confirmed that your order was sitting with DPD because the delivery address provided for the order could not be found, and DPD have tried to contact you by email and SMS without a response from your end.
I can also confirm that the order has now been refunded.
I am very sorry that you didn't have the positive experience that our customers always have.

This is seriously good paint
This is seriously good paint. I bought enough for two coats but having now put up the primer and one coat of paint it feels like job done. Worth it for the price. Delivery was quick - quoted 2-3 business days and had it delivered the next day. Highly recommended!

QD kitchen and bathroom varnish unfortunately not fit for kitchen worktop
I used the QD kitchen and worktop oil on the advice of customer services for my hardwood vintage worktops.
I was advised at the time that the varnish was not fully heatproof so I bought a marble chopping board to put hot dishes etc on. The finished result was absolutely beautiful and I was initially pleased however unfortunately the worktop blistered badly when a visitor put cup of tea down momentarily on it. I am now faced with having to re-sand and revarnish my entire kitchen wortops (with a different brand) as the product is not atall fit for purpose.

Hi Fenella,
Thank you for your review.
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how disappointing this must be, especially after the care you took to protect your worktops.
Our varnish is designed to be heat-resistant to everyday use, but it is not fully heatproof, which is why our team advised using protective barriers for hot items. That said, a brief contact from a hot drink should not normally cause blistering, so this is certainly not the result we would expect.
We genuinely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve both our products and the advice we provide, and we’re sorry that this experience fell short of your expectations.
Kind regards,
Mylands

We have had a fantastic experience using Myland's colour consultancy service.
