Kitchen cabinet painting in Stotfold
About 380 homes in the town date from 1983 to 1999 and around 240 from 2000 to 2008. Fitted kitchens from those years often have solid carcasses and doors that still hang well, with a colour or finish that has dated.
Graham checks the doors at the visit. Painted timber, solid wood and MDF take paint well with the right preparation, but some factory finishes won't hold it, and he'll say so before quoting.
Spray or brush in a Stotfold kitchen
Larger kitchens with plain slab doors suit our Graco Ultra cordless airless sprayer, which lays down a very even coat once everything is masked. In a compact kitchen the masking can take longer than the painting, so brush and roller are often quicker and leave a neat hand-finished look.
Walls and ceilings around the units can be part of interior decorating in Stotfold.

How we approach kitchen cabinet painting
Grease is the enemy of kitchen paint, so we degrease every door, especially near the hob and handles, then sand with Mirka dust-free sanders, fill chips and prime with Zinsser. Worktops, floors and appliances are sheeted. Satin from Tikkurila or eggshell from Farrow & Ball gives a hard-wearing finish. The full method, products and FAQs are on our kitchen cabinet painting page.
