Kitchen & Cabinet Painting in Chelsea Manor Street & Chelsea Green

Kitchen cabinet painting requires the most meticulous preparation of any painting project. Every door and drawer front is removed, numbered, and labelled with a mapping system so each piece returns to its exact original position. Hinges and hardware are carefully removed and stored. Surfaces are thoroughly degreased using specialist kitchen degreasers to remove years of cooking residue, grease, and silicone — any contamination left on the surface will prevent paint adhesion. After degreasing, surfaces are sanded with fine-grit paper to create a mechanical key, then wiped clean of all dust. We apply a specialist adhesion primer designed for kitchen surfaces — products like Zinsser BIN or Dulux Trade High Adhesion Primer that bond tenaciously to previously finished surfaces including melamine, thermofoil, and lacquered finishes. After priming, surfaces receive multiple coats of hardwearing kitchen paint — typically a water-based alkyd such as Benjamin Moore Advance or a specialist kitchen cabinet paint — applied by spray for flat surfaces and brush for profiled details. Each coat is lightly sanded between applications to ensure perfect inter-coat adhesion. Hardware is cleaned, polished, or replaced before doors are carefully reinstalled and aligned.
