FAQs

A number of factors will affect this, namely, the number of units, the number of integrated appliances, type of worktop and the overall design of the kitchen. As a rule of thumb, most kitchens we fit take around five to eight days to complete.

Based on a medium-sized kitchen, with around 20 doors and 8 drawers, the cost will be between £1500 and £2000 depending on the size of the doors, number of integrated appliances, pillars, cornicing, etc.

In addition to our New Forest area, we also fit kitchens all over Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey, and Wiltshire.

We generally don’t supply these but are very happy to offer advice and recommendations.

We specialise in hand painting, which gives a lovely traditional finish. Many of our customers have asked if we spray paint. Although there is nothing wrong with this method, having looked closely at many factory-produced ‘painted’ kitchens, they can look artificial. If you want to retain the character of say a hand-made kitchen or one with wooden doors, then hand painting will only enhance the look.

We apply a primer and undercoat, and then recommend at least three acrylic eggshell topcoats, sanded between each coat to both sides of the doors and all the framework.

We are often asked to recommend a particular paint. We only use acrylic eggshell finish and highly recommend Johnstone’s Trade paint which can be mixed in practically all the Farrow & Ball, Dulux and Crown colours or Little Greene Paint Company, Fired Earth and Neptune.  The Paper & Paint Library. These all give a very professional and hard-wearing finish.

Depending on the size of your kitchen, on average, it usually takes between five and 8 days to paint.

We charge around £80-£100 per door, but take into consideration the number and size of drawers, end panels, pillars, cornicing, open shelving, wear and tear of existing kitchen, etc.

Although we don’t offer this service there are a number of choices when it comes to the finish of the inside of cabinets. Some people prefer to leave them unfinished, whilst others opt for Danish oil or a matt varnish, which is particularly suitable for wooden units. There are other options which we can discuss with you.

Simply clean off spills and marks with a warm, damp cloth with a little detergent. If it won’t budge, use something more abrasive like a cream cleaner or failing that a fine sandpaper and then simply touch up if you remove some of the paintwork.
