Your local kitchen cabinet painting team in St John's Wood
We paint kitchen cabinets and cupboards across St John's Wood (NW8), refreshing the units in everything from Large detached and semi-detached villas, red-brick mansion blocks and substantial period 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.
St John's Wood is affluent, green and unhurried, with broad tree-lined avenues and a settled residential feel close to Regent's Park. The local housing stock, Large detached and semi-detached villas, red-brick mansion blocks and substantial period flats, typically has tall reception rooms, deep skirtings and decorative cornicing, timber sash windows, panelled doors and rendered or red-brick frontages. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near Lord's Cricket Ground.
Large villa kitchen cabinets repainted in St John's Wood
Around St John's Wood the detached and semi-detached villas and substantial period flats run to a grander scale, and their kitchens tend to be generous rooms with solid, well-made units. Worth refreshing rather than replacing. We degrease every door and drawer front, sand the factory lacquer to a key, fill any knocks and prime before two hard-wearing cabinet coats, hand-painted for the traditional look these homes suit, or sprayed for flatter doors.
Owners near Lord's and along the avenues running down to Regent's Park usually want a heritage Farrow & Ball colour, often carried onto the surrounding walls so the kitchen reads as one scheme. These carcasses are sound. A repaint gives a large villa kitchen the look of a fresh fit for a fraction of a refit, and we agree a fixed written price after a free visit.

How we do kitchen cabinet painting in St John's Wood
-
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 creep on the final invoice.
-
Degrease and strip back the grime
Kitchen units carry years of cooking grease. Paint simply will not grip it. 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. That keeps the lines 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 topcoat choice.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting in St John's Wood, 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. 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.
How much does kitchen cabinet painting cost in St John's Wood?
Every kitchen is a fixed price after a free visit. In NW8 the figure follows the size of the kitchen: villa kitchens here carry more doors and drawer fronts than a flat, and their condition, the colour and whether you want a brushed or sprayed finish set the rest.
Do you paint the utility room and pantry units at the same time?
Yes, and it usually makes sense to. The larger villas here often have a utility room or pantry fitted in the same style as the kitchen, and painting them in the same run keeps the finish consistent and saves setting up twice. We count those doors at the free visit and include them in the one price.
How long does it take to repaint a large villa kitchen in St John's Wood?
Most kitchens are finished in two to three days, even the larger villa kitchens common here, depending on the number of doors and drawer fronts. The room stays usable in the evenings as coats cure, and we walk it with you before sign-off. We agree a fixed written price after a free visit.
