Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Isle of Dogs: What to expect
Most Isle of Dogs (E14) kitchens we quote are in dockside apartmentss where the cabinetry is solid but the colour is dated. We strip, key-sand, fill, prime with a specialist adhesion primer and finish in Tikkurila Helmi or Little Greene Intelligent Eggshell — either by spray (factory-style finish) or by hand. Allow 3–5 working days from start to handover, full appliance protection and a hard-wearing, washable finish that holds up to family use.
The Isle of Dogs mixes dockside apartment blocks around Millwall Outer Dock with Victorian and post-war houses in Cubitt Town and riverside new-builds along Westferry Road. Apartment work here usually means managed-building access and protection of shared corridors and lifts; house work is more traditional — full interiors, hallways and stairwells, and exterior woodwork that takes a battering from river weather. We use hard-wearing water-based systems throughout so finishes hold up to strong light and salt-laden wind off the Thames.

What Isle of Dogs clients say
"Genuinely premium service. They prepped the walls properly — three days of filling and sanding before a brush came out — and it shows. Worth every penny."

"Painted our nursery and master bedroom while we were away for the weekend. Came back to a spotless house and a perfect finish. Trustworthy and discreet."
