Kitchen Cabinet Painting in South Kensington: What to expect
Most South Kensington (SW7) kitchens we quote are in mansion flatss 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.
South Kensington sits between the cultural institutions of Exhibition Road and the residential calm of The Boltons. We work in mansion blocks, period conversions, and family homes throughout the area, always respecting the neighbourhood's refined character. Many of our South Kensington clients are international residents who value clear communication and reliable scheduling.
