Martin King our specialist kitchen painter working across South East & South West London for over 40 years

A typical example of a kitchen refurbishment carried out by Martin in Blackheath, Southeast London.

Before:

Hand Painted Kitchen Blackheath London: This kitchen was a real challenge. Going from a dark walnut to white required 5 coats to cover, normally a primer tinted in the colour and two full coats of Helmi furniture paint would be more than enough. I did encourage the clients to pick a colour, as one, the kitchen had plenty of light and very high ceilings, and two, I don’t think white ever works on a kitchen. Just my personal taste but after painting kitchens for over 25 years I’ve never seen one I like. They had inherited the kitchen when they purchased the house and didn’t like the dark walnut, so wanted something completely different.

The carcass on this kitchen was unique as it took nearly as long to paint as the doors, which is very unusual and very challenging. With such big drops from ceiling to floor you have to move fast and with experience to avoid drying edges and runs, that’s why we always take the doors and drawers off and paint them horizontal, it’s easier and you can apply a lot more paint for greater depth.

How Martin started refurbishing and hand painting kitchens.

Since starting my career in 1981 i am proud that my business has mostly been built on my reputation. 90% of my projects come from recommendations or repeat business.

After leaving school i worked as a dimond cutter for 5 years. I will always remember that time as it required creating something, small, simple, but complex, always having to consider style, form, function and comfort. i had to make use of innovative and unique ideas, as this was a key part of dimond cutting. Through this i also learnt that perfection is required for every stone and i have transferred the skills i have been required to gain through this experience to my hand painted kitchen business where i only accept the perfect flawless finish.

Hand-painted furniture

Hand-painting wooden furniture adds years to its useful life. It also provides an opportunity for you to add your personal mark to a room without breaking the bank. From an an environmental point of view, upcycling keeps precious resources out of landfill too. In other words, there is a lot of value to be had if you can revive well made suites of dining room and bedroom furniture. We have many examples of custom painted oak cabinets, pine dressers, laminate wardrobes, pianos, antique stools and more.

Our furniture painters specify durable satin or eggshell furniture enamels. We can match the best paint for the job accurately to any colour you like. However there are also options for Annie Sloan chalk paint, faux effects and sprayed finishes.

For keen DIY, there are many original tips here on how to paint pine furniture.

Refurbish a kitchen

Your wooden kitchen is well used, but could do with more storage? Perhaps you want a smarter layout? Maybe you just want to change to a different colour? Are you fed up with the wood look? For years, the only obvious choice seemed to be out with the old, in with the new. However, throwing out a decent kitchen and fitting a brand new custom kitchen has become increasingly cost prohibitive. Also it doesn’t stack up from a practical nor environmental point of view. This is where we come in with our knowledge of Hand-painted kitchens, furniture & period property!

Enjoy the best of both worlds. Do not put up with a less than perfect kitchen for another 10 years. Don’t commit to a huge outlay. Instead, refurbish your kitchen at a fraction of the cost of new.
