Martin King
London SE & SW
Specialist kitchen and furniture painting.
Martin has been transforming homes since 1981 and has built his business almost entirely through recommendations and repeat customers. His reputation has been earned through decades of quality workmanship, reliability and a commitment to delivering beautifully hand-painted kitchens and interiors.
Before becoming a decorator, I worked as a precision diamond cutter, where attention to detail and achieving a flawless finish were essential. That experience taught me patience, precision and the importance of getting every detail right—qualities I bring to every kitchen and furniture painting project today.
I believe every home is different, so I take the time to understand what each client wants before carefully bringing their ideas to life. Whether I’m hand painting a kitchen or restoring a favourite piece of furniture, my aim is always the same: to create a finish that looks beautiful, lasts for years and exceeds expectations.
After more than 40 years in the trade, I still enjoy seeing a project transformed from start to finish, and I take great pride in leaving every customer with a result they can enjoy for many years to come.
