Your local kitchen cabinet painting team in West Hampstead
We paint kitchen cabinets and cupboards across West Hampstead (NW6), refreshing the units in everything from Victorian terraces, period conversion flats and purpose-built 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.
West Hampstead is busy, well-connected and popular with young professionals, with high tenant turnover around West End Lane. The local housing stock, Victorian terraces, period conversion flats and purpose-built mansion blocks, typically has bay-fronted facades, picture rails and cornicing in older rooms, plus plainer plastered walls in the purpose-built blocks. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near West End Lane.
What kitchen cabinet painting in West Hampstead usually involves
Kitchen Cabinet Painting in West Hampstead covers doors, drawer fronts and frames, melamine, laminate and lacquered surfaces and hand-painted and sprayed finishes, matched to the victorian terraces found across NW6 and the way these homes are built.
The jobs we are asked for most here, like end-of-tenancy flat repaints and single-room and hallway redecoration, all start with proper prep and a fixed written price, so a victorian terraces gets a finish that lasts rather than a quick once-over.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting for West Hampstead landlords and letting agents
Landlords and letting agents use cabinet painting to lift a tired rental kitchen. No refit cost, no void time. 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 West 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 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 West 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. 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 West Hampstead?
Every kitchen is a fixed price after a free visit. In NW6 the figure follows the units: the door and drawer count, their condition, the colour chosen and whether the finish is brushed or sprayed. Conversion flat kitchens here are often compact.
How long does kitchen cabinet painting take in a typical West Hampstead flat?
Two to three days for most kitchens. Turnover around West End Lane is fast, so where a kitchen is holding up a re-let we work to your date. Doors go back on as the coats cure, so the flat is not out of use for the whole run.
How soon can the kitchen be used again after painting in West Hampstead?
You keep using it throughout. Doors are taken off, painted and refitted as each coat cures, so the kitchen is workable in the evenings rather than out of action for days. The finish keeps hardening for a while after we leave, so we ask you to treat it gently at first.
