Benefit From One-to-One Support? Yes You Can!
There’s far more that goes into delivering a perfect paint finish on a job than perhaps first meets the eye. A skilled and steady hand, honed over years of training and dedication; the paint formulation; comprehensive colour offering…and reliable manufacturer support. Read on to find out more!
Local expertise, tailored to you
No two jobs are the same, meaning the challenges that come with them can’t always be solved with a one-size-fits-all approach. At Valspar Trade, our network of local Trade Sales Specialists (TSSs) provide hands-on, personalised support to decorators across the country, whether it’s a quick phone call or a site visit.
Practical help on the job
Working out paint quantities?
No one wants to be caught short halfway through a project. Our TSSs can carry out site visits on larger jobs, providing valuable advice on the right products and the correct quantities. Plus, with our Direct2Site service, for large orders over 100L or £500, you can easily place your next paint order via your TSS – with free next delivery available.
Specification support
From guidance on the right prep work for tricky substrates and product recommendations to providing colour advice for a client, your TSS can provide the technical guidance you need to deliver a perfect finish, first time.
On-site problem solving
Decorating can be a lonely profession, particularly if you’re a one-man band. That’s why it’s good to know that if you hit a snag, from unexpected surface challenges to adhesion issues, you don’t need to face it alone. Support is just one phone call away, with our team ready to troubleshoot and get you back on track quickly.
More than just technical support
Our TSSs are more than just a helpline – they’re a familiar, friendly face who genuinely understands the trade. With regular check-ins, a direct line via phone or email and a commitment to building strong relationships, your local TSS becomes a trusted partner in your business.
