Choosing the Right Paint for Your Project

Different surfaces and environments require different paint formulations. Our range includes interior and exterior paints, gloss, primers, undercoats, wood and metal paints, and specialist coatings from brands including Dulux Trade and Armstead Trade.

• Interior paint: Emulsion and other suitable finishes for walls and ceilings, with options for different levels of durability and sheen.
• Exterior and masonry paint: Designed for compatible outdoor surfaces where weather resistance is important.
• Gloss and woodwork paint: Commonly used on suitable doors, skirting boards and other prepared surfaces.
• Primers and undercoats: Help prepare suitable surfaces and support adhesion and coverage of the finishing coat.

Always choose a paint suitable for the surface, location and desired finish, and follow the manufacturer's preparation and application guidance.

Paint Brushes, Rollers & Decorating Tools

Choosing the right decorating tools helps achieve an even finish. Rollers are commonly used for larger walls and ceilings, while brushes are useful for edges, corners, woodwork and detailed areas.

County supplies brushes, rollers and decorating accessories, alongside dust sheets, masking products and other tools to help protect surrounding surfaces during painting and decorating.

Surface Preparation, Fillers & Caulk

Good preparation is essential for a professional-looking finish. Before painting, surfaces should be clean, dry and appropriately prepared, with loose material removed and imperfections repaired.

Fillers are used to repair suitable cracks, holes and surface imperfections, while decorators caulk is commonly used to seal small gaps around skirting boards, architraves and other interior joints.

Our range also includes preparation and cleaning products such as sugar soap, white spirit and paint brush cleaners. Always check product compatibility and safety instructions before use.

How Much Paint Do You Need?

To estimate paint quantities, calculate the area to be painted in square metres and check the manufacturer's stated coverage per litre.

For example, a 20m² wall requiring two coats represents approximately 40m² of paint coverage. The amount needed depends on the paint's spreading rate, surface porosity and application method.

Allow for additional coats where required and check the product instructions before ordering.
