Your local kitchen cabinet painting team in Highgate
We paint kitchen cabinets and cupboards across Highgate (N6), refreshing the units in everything from Georgian and Victorian villas, period terraces and large family houses in conservation areas. 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.
Highgate is historic, affluent and village-like, with leafy conservation streets owned largely by long-settled families. The local housing stock — Georgian and Victorian villas, period terraces and large family houses in conservation areas — typically has generous ceiling heights, original cornicing and ceiling roses, panelled doors, timber sash windows and painted stucco or stock-brick frontages. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near Highgate Cemetery.
Family kitchen cabinets in Highgate's conservation streets
Highgate's Georgian and Victorian villas and large family houses, many on protected conservation streets, often hold roomy kitchens whose units are dated rather than worn out. Repainting respects the age of these long-loved homes: we degrease years of cooking grease, sand the factory lacquer to a key, fill the knocks and prime before two hard-wearing, washable cabinet coats — hand-painted for the traditional look a period villa calls for.
Because owners here tend to stay put for decades, a tough, wipeable finish that holds up to daily family use matters more than a quick fix, and a heritage Farrow & Ball colour suits the houses. With the carcasses sound, a repaint gives the kitchen the look of a fresh fit for a fraction of a refit. We agree a fixed written price after a free visit, never a day rate.
Why Highgate homeowners choose us for kitchen cabinet painting
Homeowners across Highgate choose us because the price is fixed in writing before we start, with no day rates. We use trade-grade paint suited to georgian and victorian villas, period terraces and large family houses in conservation areas, work tidily room by room (typically 2–3 days), protect your floors and furniture, and clear our waste away before we sign the job off with you.
How we do kitchen cabinet painting in Highgate
-
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 Highgate — 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.
Will repainting suit the period kitchen in my Highgate house?
Yes. For the villas and family houses on Highgate's conservation streets, a hand-painted finish in a heritage colour respects the age of the home while giving the kitchen a fresh look. We degrease, key, fill and prime before two hard-wearing cabinet coats, and put one fixed price in writing after a free visit.
