This Oak kitchen was around 16 years old and originally made and fitted by a local kitchen company. Still in good condition, solidily built and a nice design… a few hinges needed adjusting and the handles in need of replacing. Other than that, it was ready for transforming & an update.

The Painting Process: painted kitchen Longton Preston Lancashire

We start by removing all the doors and draws, number them in sequence and remove the hardware. This gives us good access to all the frames and ensures all surfaces of the doors are prepared and painted (its a real pet hate and such bad practice not removing doors) we see all too often. Painted kitchens with the back edge of the doors without paint on them, a minor detail but one that needs to be done correctly!

Preparing your kitchen for painting; on an average 20+ door kitchen, we can spend a full day, cleaning every inch of it, thoroughly and meticulously… If this part isn’t done right, then the paint system (no matter how durable) will fail in the future… Preparation is key!

Next step is applying the primer… A high adhesion primer that will grip to the previously prepared surface… This dries overnight to a lovely flat finish and after a very light de-nib with a fine abrasive, we a ready to start applying the top coats. The colours for this kitchen were F&B Strong White & Elephants Breath. painted kitchen Longton preston Lancashire
