Little Greene Paint Specialists in Kensington
Working with Little Greene paints requires product-specific knowledge to achieve optimal results. We begin by selecting the correct product for each surface: Intelligent Emulsion for a durable, wipeable matt finish on walls and ceilings in high-traffic areas; Absolute Matt Emulsion for a chalky, heritage look in formal rooms; Intelligent Satinwood for woodwork where a mid-sheen, hardwearing finish is needed; and Intelligent Gloss for a traditional, high-sheen woodwork finish. Surface preparation is tailored to each product — Intelligent Emulsion, for example, requires a well-sealed, stable substrate to perform at its best. We apply Little Greene's own primer-undercoat where specified, use the recommended roller and brush types for each finish, and maintain consistent application technique throughout. Each coat is allowed to dry fully before the next is applied, respecting Little Greene's specified overcoating times. For their masonry paints, we follow the manufacturer's guidance on surface preparation, stabilisation, and coating build-up to ensure maximum durability on Chelsea's exposed exterior surfaces.
