Dulux Decorator Centre 360 Expert support for professional contractors

A comprehensive range of products
From paints to woodcare to specialist products, whatever you need to complete the job, we have it in store or ready for speedy delivery.
We’re constantly adding to our range too, and now stock specialist paints from Zinsser, Coovar, International, Flexcrete and Osmo. If there’s ever something you need that we don’t stock, we’ll try to get it for you.
Thanks to regular feedback from customers, we constantly update our product range. For example, we recently reformulated Dulux Trade Diamond Matt to make it more sustainable and more durable.

Services, specification and support
Get access to support at every stage of your project when you join Dulux Decorator Centre 360.
Our specification support team can advise you on the correct preparation, and help you choose products suitable for the location, environment, and substrate type. We can provide a full site report to help you identify tricky surfaces and give your client an idea of maintenance cycles. Our technical representatives can even visit you on-site, or at pre-contract meetings, to give you and your client peace of mind.
If you need support on the go, our experts can help you solve issues over the phone. Or, one of our technicians can visit the site and reassure your client of the next steps.

Sustainable Bulk Packaging Trial
Waste reduction is a key priority for clients and contractors. So, the Dulux Decorator Centre specification team are piloting bulk packaging for larger commercial projects. Instead of supplying paint in individual 10L containers, which can lead to a lot of plastic waste, we’re trialling more sustainable, 170L reusable containers.
