Our well-managed service
The décor card scheme / portal solution is administratively light touch and the most efficient / controlled way of rewarding tenants with instant décor allowances. B&Q décor cards are systemically restricted to decorative products only, tenants can shop in a retail environment for all their internal décor needs and brands within the following categories: interior paints, woodcare and varnishes, wallpapers and pastes, non-powered decorating utensils, sandpaper, fillers and sealants and cleaning products. In addition, allowances don’t have to be spent all at once.
