WHY HAVE A REPAINTED KITCHEN?

Re-invent your kitchen by choosing new colours from a wealth of paint manufacturers such as

  • Farrow and Ball
  • Little Green Paint Company
  • Marstons 
  • Dulux

Change the style with new handles or knobs made from

  • Stainless steel
  • Porcelain
  • Oak, Beech or Maple 

Consider the benefits compared with a new kitchen

  • Little distruption.
  • At a fraction of the cost

It's a whole new look with a lot less stress

HOW IT WORKS

IN OUR WORKSHOP

  • Doors and drawer fronts are hand sanded, old door knob and handle holes are filled and re-drilled if required. 
  • Primed with the appropriate shellac, oil, or water-based primer.
  • Re-sanded.
  • And re-coated with primer for a second time.
  • Re-sanded again.
  • And the first coat of top-coat is applied, and then sanded.
  • The second coat of top-coat is applied - this process is repeated a third time if neccessary. 
  • And then they are packed and ready for return.

IN YOUR KITCHEN

  • Existing walls and floor surfaces are masked off, and the carcases are sanded. 
  • We use vacuum sanders to reduce any dust to a minimum. 
  • The carcases receive the same careful treatment as the doors and drawers do in our workshops.
  • Hinges  and catches are re-fitted and the doors are re-hung.

SPECIFICATION

Cabinets:

  • Paint Colour - Slaked Lime

The colour matching for the cabinets was done after the wall colour was chosen.

Handles

 

The existing steel bar handles were replaced with hand-turned oak knobs. The new knobs positioned  drilled and the old holes from the previous handles were filled before the doors were repainted.

 

Cornice & Skirting

 

The existing oak cornice and skirtings were retained to give a "New England" touch
