Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Swiss Cottage, NW3

A fraction of the cost of a new kitchen. Degrease, sand, prime and a hard-wearing, washable cabinet finish by hand or spray.

Your local kitchen cabinet painting team in Swiss Cottage

We paint kitchen cabinets and cupboards across Swiss Cottage (NW3), refreshing the units in everything from Art-deco and post-war mansion blocks, purpose-built flats and Victorian semi-detached houses. 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.

Swiss Cottage is a busy junction neighbourhood off Finchley Road, mixing settled owner-occupiers with a steady stream of managed lets. The local housing stock — Art-deco and post-war mansion blocks, purpose-built flats and Victorian semi-detached houses — typically has steel-framed deco facades, plastered hallways, picture rails and skirting, plus generous reception rooms in the older semis. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near Swiss Cottage Library.

What kitchen cabinet painting in Swiss Cottage usually involves

Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Swiss Cottage covers doors, drawer fronts and frames, melamine, laminate and lacquered surfaces and hand-painted and sprayed finishes — matched to the art-deco and post-war mansion blocks found across NW3 and the way these homes are built.

The jobs we are asked for most here, like mansion-block flat repaints and between-tenancy redecoration, all start with proper prep and a fixed written price, so a art-deco and post-war mansion blocks gets a finish that lasts rather than a quick once-over.

Kitchen Cabinet Painting for Swiss Cottage 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 Swiss Cottage

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 Swiss Cottage — 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.
