What is our Painting Division's Environmental Policy?

Over the years paint has become less toxic and more environmentally friendly.

Once upon a time paint contained lead today paint is available as an oil based product or as a water based product.

Any paint we apply to a ceiling or wall is always water based as all of the emulsion we use is water based and we favour acrylic eggshell paint over the traditional oil based eggshell paint.

When choosing material for painting woodwork there is a choice between oil based paint and water based paint.

All leading paint brands have created and developed a range of water based alternatives. As a result water based primer, undercoat, gloss and satin paints are all available.

Water based paints are more environmentally friendly both in terms of manufacturing and disposal.

When it comes to disposing left over paint and empty buckets we bring everything to a local recycling centre to ensure all waste is disclosed in an environmentally friendly way.
