Kitchen Cabinet Painting in Kensington: What to expect
Most Kensington (W8/W14) kitchens we quote are in stucco-fronted terracess 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.
Kensington's stucco-fronted terraces and grand mansion blocks demand a particular standard of finish. Our team has extensive experience working in conservation areas around Kensington Palace, Holland Park, and the garden squares that define this neighbourhood. We understand the importance of sympathetic colour choices and period-appropriate finishes that honour these architectural treasures.
