Your local kitchen cabinet painting team in Hampstead
We paint kitchen cabinets and cupboards across Hampstead (NW3), refreshing the units in everything from Victorian and Edwardian terraces, large period conversions and red-brick mansion blocks. 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.
Hampstead is quiet, leafy and affluent, with a village feel and streets popular with families and professionals. The local housing stock — Victorian and Edwardian terraces, large period conversions and red-brick mansion blocks — typically has high ceilings, original cornicing and ceiling roses, panelled doors, timber sash windows and stucco or red-brick facades. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near Hampstead Heath.
Hand-painted Shaker kitchens in Hampstead's period homes
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces, large conversions and red-brick mansion blocks around Hampstead often have solid timber Shaker or in-frame kitchens that have simply dated rather than worn out. These suit a hand-painted finish: brushed by hand for the traditional look that fits a period home and easy to touch up down the line. We degrease, sand back the old lacquer, fill any knocks and prime before two hard-wearing cabinet coats go on.
Heritage Farrow & Ball colours are a firm favourite here, and many owners extend the new shade to the surrounding walls so the whole kitchen reads as one scheme. With the carcasses usually sound, repainting gives the room the look of a fresh fit for a fraction of a new kitchen. We price the job as a fixed figure in writing after a free visit, never a day rate.

How we do kitchen cabinet painting in Hampstead
-
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 Hampstead — 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.
