Paint for hallway

Hi everyone,


Can you please advise?
I need very very quickly buy a paint for our hallway (decorator coming earlier than thought).
I want the durable one that you can wipe off scuff marks off.
And it HAS to be from B&Q as I have £200 voucher to purchase them.


I always used Dulux Endurance, never in past had a problem.. However, we moved out of the house within a year of painting, so the endurance is not that tested! But they seem to be discontinuing them? At least the Natural Calico at B&Q seems to be very low price online.. And all Endurance paints seems to be discounted.


I used Valspar bathroom for the bathroom because Dulux didn't have the colour I wanted. I was happy with it, I have to say, I painted white and then good coat of the colour I have chosen (light colour, just off white really) and it needed just quick roll over with second coat.
But for the hallway (premium) paint I have read mixed reviews.


What other paint, that I can buy at B&Q, would you recommend?

Thank you


Also please best paint for wood. Lots and lots of wood to paint! White gloss. It's first paint on new wood.


Thank you!
