Wickes Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint

Wickes is a well-known British home improvement retailer that produces its own line of paints and decorative products. The Wickes brand was founded in the United States in the mid-19th century by Henry Wickes, but the UK division became a separate entity and a powerhouse in the British DIY market starting in 1972.

Wickes interior paints are primarily manufactured in the United Kingdom to meet local building and environmental standards. While Wickes was previously owned by Travis Perkins for many years, it was demerged in 2021 and became an independent publicly traded company. It operates as a major competitor in the DIY and trade home improvement sector, headquartered in Watford, Hertfordshire.
