The Process
The whole process takes just two weeks, and during that time we are with you for two long half days on the first and final days.
Please don't empty the cupboards or drawers or even clear the worktops (unless you want to of course) And certainly don't clean the kitchen!
The paint that we use is Helmi 30, made by Tikkurila, it comes in gloss, semi matt and matt, but we recommend the semi matt finish.

On the first day
We arrive bright and early and remove the doors and drawer fronts etc, and then, after dust sheeting everything, we clean the kitchen. We then prime all of the kitchen cabinets, except for underneath, on top and inside the cupboards (unless the doors are glass) We use a primer from Zinsser, a market leader which dries quickly, and enables us to paint the first coat of colour on the first day as well. |
On the second day
We arrive just as bright and early, and firstly dust sheet everything. We then paint the second coat of colour onto the cabinets, and whilst that it drying, we fit the doors and drawers back on. If we are fitting new handles, all of the drilling will have been done in our workshop, and so we simply have to fit the new handles you have chosen. We also put protective buffers on the cabinet edges to protect the painted finish. After a final check that all is as perfect as it can be, we introduce you to your newly painted kitchen. |
In between we are cleaning, filling handle holes (if required), priming and hand painting your doors and drawers. These processes are completed at least three days before we bring them back to be fitted, making sure that the doors etc are nice and dry.
In this way, you can use the kitchen as you did before it was transformed. We do ask you to be careful with the kitchen for 4 weeks, wiping any spills as soon as you can, as the paint fully cures during this time.
