Your local kitchen cabinet painting team in Islington
We paint kitchen cabinets and cupboards across Islington (N1), refreshing the units in everything from Georgian and early-Victorian terraces, garden-square conversions and split-level flats. 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.
Islington is trendy and desirable, with a strong owner-occupier and rental mix on smart terraced streets and leafy garden squares. The local housing stock — Georgian and early-Victorian terraces, garden-square conversions and split-level flats — typically has tall first-floor reception rooms, deep skirtings, decorative cornicing, panelled shutters and original timber sash windows behind painted stucco fronts. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near Upper Street.
Refreshing Georgian terrace and garden-flat kitchens in Islington
Kitchens in Islington's Georgian and early-Victorian terraces are often tucked into the lower-ground or garden level off Upper Street and the streets behind the garden squares. Many are sound Shaker or in-frame units that have simply dated. We degrease the cooking grime that paint will not grip, sand the slick surface to a key, fill chips and prime before a durable cabinet coat — by brush for the period look or sprayed for a flawless modern finish.
With the high share of let property here, agents around Angel use a cabinet repaint to lift a tired rental kitchen into a clean, neutral, lettable state without the cost or void of a full refit. The kitchen stays usable in the evenings as coats cure, and the figure is fixed in writing after a free visit, with no day rate. Farrow & Ball shades are a popular topcoat choice.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting for Islington landlords and letting agents
Landlords and letting agents use cabinet painting to lift a tired rental kitchen without the cost or void time of a full refit. A repaint in a clean, neutral colour photographs well for listings and wipes down between tenancies, so the units keep looking sharp for years.
How we do kitchen cabinet painting in Islington
-
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 Islington — 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.
