I ordered Kingfisher’s anti mould paint after struggling with recurring mould patches on an external facing wall, and the experience from purchase to results felt genuinely smooth. Delivery arrived within the promised window, the tub was properly sealed, and nothing leaked or damaged in transit, which already set a good first impression. The paint applied easily with a roller, spread evenly, and did not produce strong fumes, so I could use it indoors without needing heavy ventilation or stopping halfway through.
Coverage surprised me in a good way because it built up nicely after the second coat and left a clean, consistent finish across the wall. Many specialist coatings feel thick or awkward to work with, but this one handled more like a standard interior paint while still giving that protective layer. After several weeks in a room that normally develops mould quickly, I have not seen any signs returning, even around corners where it usually starts first.
What stood out most was how practical the product felt rather than gimmicky. It did exactly what it claimed to do, which is rare with problem solving paints that often overpromise and underdeliver. Based on my own use, the performance has been reliable, the finish still looks fresh, and the wall has stayed clear, so I would confidently use it again for similar problem areas.

Ordered sage green exterior paint because I had seen it on a friends property, its a nice light green. I received 10 litres of dark green paint, it couldn't be much darker if it was black. I thought well maybe paint a bit of the house and let it dry it might be ok. It looks darker than the old corporation green. No problem I will just contact them for a return, nothing no response just totally ignored. Its also quite thin paint and doesn't cover very well, initially I wanted to change the paint for the right colour but on reflection I will cut my losses and go somewhere else.
I contacted Kingfisher Building Products Limited via telephone last week as I wanted to check if they could visit me home to check a damproofing course that was guaranteed by them. The dampcourse treatment was done in July 2010 with a 30 year guarantee. I explained that I had bought the house in the Autumn last year and had damp on my front wall, the lady I was speaking with asked if I had the original certificate and explained that I did. She then asked if I had transferred ownership from the previous owner, I explained I had just received all of the paperwork from my solicitor following the purchase of the house. She very smuggly then explained I had voided the guarantee as I had not registered the new ownership within 30 days of the sale. How can this be fair, when buying a house the paperwork can take months to get sorted and sent from one solicitor to another. I consider this very poor service and just a way of them getting out of any responsibilities they may have in the guarantee. To my mind a damp proof course guarantee with this company is not worth the paper it is written on.A very disgruntled and unhappy home owner.
Very impressed with it their external masonary paint, it’s been on our house for the last few years and we thought it could do with freshening up, ordered late Sunday, item was received first thing Wednesday morning, very quick delivery.
Although Kingfisher's paints are okay, their return policy and customer service leave much to be desired. Returning a product becomes a costly affair, with all expenses falling on the customer. Moreover, finding a courier to handle liquid items like paint can be challenging and expensive. My interaction with their customer service was disappointing; they were not only ineffective at resolving my issues but also exhibited rudeness. There is room for considerable improvement in these areas."
The paint arrived OK, but the thermal paint was really disappointing. The coverage is not very good at all. I was painting over a beige background wall with a slightly lighter colour, 2 coats and it's still very patchy. Sadly I wouldn't buy again. Not even sure the 5 litres I have will cover all of a small bedroom with the amount of coats I am going to have to give it. Not what I was expecting at all.
Purchased 5L of pond paint from these, which arrived no problem. I had to do 2 coats so split the paint and hardener into two lots by measuring into scuttles and in total these was only 3.75L of combined product having paid for 5L. I originally put this review up on their site, but of course it never got through their self approval for reviews.
