The Crown Trade and Sandtex Trade Home Painting Plan is a scheme to support the smaller painting and decorating contractor who wants to develop profitable long-term business relationships with homeowners who really care about their properties and standards of décor.

The scheme has been devised to help the contractor ‘seal’ his or her relationship with
domestic customers and provide presentation tools to enhance the credibility and professional image of their business.

The Home Painting Plan member is provided with an extensive business support and marketing package devised to enhance the image of their business. It also provides the support tools required to enable the homeowner to make their décor decisions, and to encourage them to plan ahead and to schedule future work in advance with the scheme member.

In addition, members have access to a dedicated hotline to Akzo Nobel Decorative Coatings Limited and are given priority technical advice, a priority literature service and a 24-hour sample service for paint colour swatches.

Materials provided include:

·         Home Painting Plan Survey, Specification and Quotation pads

·         Home Painting Plan Code of Practice

·         CD-Rom specification tool

·         Digital artwork for stationery that can be customised by member

·         Explanatory leaflets for homeowners
