Wycliffe Road is a couple of minutes from Northampton town centre with parking outside, so it is an easy early-morning stop on the way to site. If you are travelling in from Kettering, Wellingborough, Corby, Daventry, Rushden or Milton Keynes, call ahead on 01604 232141 and we will have the colours mixed and waiting.
Do you mix Fleetwood paint in store?
Yes. We have a Fleetwood paint mixing machine in the shop, which is the part most people care about. It means:
- Any Fleetwood colour, on demand. We tint from Fleetwood bases to Fleetwood's colour card rather than being limited to whatever ready-mixed tins happen to be on the shelf.
- Mixed while you wait. A standard tint takes minutes, not days. No waiting on a delivery to finish a job.
- Matched colours. Bring in a colour reference, a colour card, or a piece of the existing finish and we will match it into the Fleetwood product you need.
- Consistent batches. Machine tinting means the second tin matches the first — important when you are running a whole house or a block of flats.
- The right size. Sample tins to trade sizes, tinted in the finish you are actually going to apply.
From behind the counter: the most common reason a decorator loses half a day is a colour that cannot be got hold of locally. Mixing on site is the fix. If you can name it or show it to us, we can usually put it in a tin the same morning.
Which Fleetwood paints do you stock?
The full Fleetwood range, interior and exterior, primers through to finishes. Core lines we hold include:
| Product | Finish | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Fleetwood Colour Perfect Matt | Matt emulsion | Walls and ceilings, everyday interior decorating |
| Fleetwood Easy Clean Washable Matt | Washable matt | Hallways, kids' rooms, anywhere that gets marked |
| Fleetwood Pro Clean Scrubbable Matt | Scrubbable matt | Rentals, schools, offices and other high-traffic interiors |
| Fleetwood Pro Clean Scuff Defence Matt | Scuff-resistant matt | Corridors, stairwells, communal areas |
| Fleetwood Mould Stop Scrubbable Soft Sheen | Soft sheen | Bathrooms, kitchens and rooms prone to condensation |
| Fleetwood Prestige Multi-Surface Matt & Satinwood | Matt / satinwood | Multi-surface work where one product has to cover several substrates |
| Fleetwood Advanced Satinwood | Satinwood | Woodwork and trim, water-based |
| Fleetwood Traditional Satinwood | Satinwood | Woodwork where a traditional finish is wanted |
| Fleetwood Pure Grip Water-Based Primer | Primer | Adhesion on difficult and previously coated surfaces |
| Fleetwood Terminate Shellac-Based Primer | Stain-block primer | Blocking stains, nicotine, water marks and knotting |
| Fleetwood Colour Perfect Advanced Quick Dry Primer Undercoat | Primer/undercoat | Fast recoat on prepared woodwork and trim |
All of the above can be tinted in store. If there is a Fleetwood product you use that you cannot see online, ring us — the range on the shelf is wider than the range on the shopfront at any given moment, and we can order in.
Which Fleetwood paint should I use, and where?
A quick guide for the questions we get asked most:
- Standard walls and ceilings in a home: Colour Perfect Matt. Good coverage, easy to apply, straightforward touch-in.
- A hallway, stairs or a family kitchen: Easy Clean Washable Matt — it takes a wipe without polishing up shiny.
- A rental property between tenancies, or a commercial corridor: Pro Clean Scrubbable Matt, or Scuff Defence Matt where trolleys, bags and shoulders hit the wall.
- Bathrooms and utility rooms: Mould Stop Scrubbable Soft Sheen, over a properly prepared and dry surface.
- Skirting, doors and window boards: Advanced Satinwood for a low-odour, quick-drying water-based finish; Traditional Satinwood if you want the classic look and flow.
- Bare or problem surfaces: Pure Grip for adhesion; Terminate where stains would otherwise bleed through no matter how many topcoats you apply.
Not sure? Bring a photo of the surface into the shop, or email sales@adsdec.com. Specifying the wrong product costs more than the paint does.
Can I order Fleetwood paint online?
Yes — the Fleetwood Paints collection is live on our website, with UK delivery and click-and-collect from Wycliffe Road. Online is best for base whites and known products; for a tinted colour, order or call and tell us the colour reference so we can mix it before you arrive.
Trade customers: ask about a trade account when you order. Trade pricing across the Fleetwood range applies to accounts, alongside the rest of the brands we hold — Dulux Trade, Crown Trade, Johnstone's Trade, Armstead, Leyland Trade, Zinsser, Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and more.
Why are decorators switching to Fleetwood?
Fleetwood is a well-established paint manufacturer with a strong following among professional decorators, and the reasons we hear in the shop are consistent:
- Opacity. Decorators tell us they get where they need to be in fewer coats on repaint work, which is labour saved, not just paint saved.
- Application. It lays off well by brush and roller, with a workable open time.
- Durability options. The Pro Clean and Scuff Defence lines are aimed squarely at surfaces that get abused, which is most of the work in rentals, schools and commercial interiors.
- Price per finished wall. Judged on coverage and coats rather than on the price of the tin, it competes hard with the trade brands people default to.
- Availability, now that we mix it. A brand is only usable if you can get the colour today. That is what the mixing machine changes locally.
