Your local kitchen cabinet painting team in Chalk Farm
We paint kitchen cabinets and cupboards across Chalk Farm (NW1), refreshing the units in everything from Victorian terraces and period conversions, many split into flats, with a scattering of canal-side warehouse and studio spaces. Rather than rip out a sound kitchen, we degrease, key and prime your existing doors, then finish them in a hard-wearing cabinet paint — all for a fixed price agreed before we lift a brush.
Chalk Farm is a lively pocket between Camden Town and Primrose Hill, mixing music-venue energy with quiet residential terraces. The local housing stock — Victorian terraces and period conversions, many split into flats, with a scattering of canal-side warehouse and studio spaces — typically has original lath-and-plaster, picture rails and cornicing, timber sash windows, and walls carrying many layers of older paint. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near The Roundhouse.
What kitchen cabinet painting in Chalk Farm usually involves
Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Chalk Farm covers doors, drawer fronts and frames, melamine, laminate and lacquered surfaces and hand-painted and sprayed finishes — matched to the victorian terraces and period conversions found across NW1 and the way these homes are built.
The jobs we are asked for most here, like full flat and room repaints and end-of-tenancy turnarounds for letting agents, all start with proper prep and a fixed written price, so a victorian terraces and period conversions gets a finish that lasts rather than a quick once-over.

How we do kitchen cabinet painting in Chalk Farm
-
Free site visit and fixed quote
We look over your units, count the doors and drawers, check the existing surface and the kitchen's day-to-day use, then put one fixed price in writing. No day rates and no creep on the final invoice.
-
Degrease and strip back the grime
Kitchen units carry years of cooking grease that paint simply will not grip. Every door, frame and drawer front is thoroughly degreased and washed down so the new finish bonds properly instead of peeling at the edges.
-
Sand, fill and key every surface
We key the existing lacquer or melamine by sanding it back, fill any chips or dents and wipe down the dust. Handles are removed and hinges masked so the lines stay crisp.
-
Prime for adhesion
A specialist adhesion primer goes on first — this is the coat that lets paint stick to slick factory surfaces. Skip it and the finish lifts within months, which is why bargain jobs rarely last.
-
Hard-wearing cabinet topcoats
Two coats of durable cabinet and cupboard paint go on, by brush for a traditional hand-painted look or by spray for a glass-smooth factory finish. Farrow & Ball colours are a popular choice for the topcoat.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Chalk Farm — common questions
Can you paint over melamine or laminate cupboards?
Yes. Melamine, laminate and previously lacquered units all take paint well once they are degreased, keyed by sanding and sealed with the right adhesion primer. That prep is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that flakes — it is never skipped.
Should I have my cabinets brushed or sprayed?
Both give a tough, washable finish. Hand-painting suits Shaker and traditional kitchens and is easy to touch up later. Spraying lays down the smoothest, most uniform coat, ideal for flat modern doors. We will recommend the better option for your units at the quote.
Do I have to empty the kitchen while you work?
We ask you to clear the worktops and the lower cupboards we are painting. The kitchen stays usable in the evenings — doors go back on as coats cure, so you are never left without a working kitchen for the whole job.
How much does kitchen cabinet painting cost in Camden?
Every kitchen is quoted as a fixed price after a visit, never a day rate. The final figure depends on the number of doors and drawer fronts, their condition, the colour chosen and whether you want a brushed or sprayed finish. We visit, count up and give you the price in writing before any work begins.
