Kitchen Installation and Project Management
[symple_accordion]
[symple_accordion_section title=”How long will it take to fit my kitchen?”]
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.
[/symple_accordion_section]
[symple_accordion_section title=”Do you fit all types of kitchens?”]
We can fit all types of kitchens, but specialise in wooden and mdf in-frame kitchens. We do not fit flat-pack kitchens.
[/symple_accordion_section]
[symple_accordion_section title=”How much do you charge to fit a kitchen?”]
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.

Hand-painting kitchen units and furniture
[symple_accordion]
[symple_accordion_section title=”Why hand-paint?”]
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.
[/symple_accordion_section]
[symple_accordion_section title=”How many coats do you apply?”]
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.
[/symple_accordion_section]
[symple_accordion_section title=”What paint do you recommend?”]
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.
[/symple_accordion_section]
[symple_accordion_section title=”How long will it take to paint my kitchen?”]
Depending on the size of your kitchen, on average, it usually takes between five and 8 days to paint.
[/symple_accordion_section]
[symple_accordion_section title=”How much will it cost?”]
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.
[/symple_accordion_section]
[symple_accordion_section title=”Do you treat the inside of wooden kitchen cupboards?”]
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.
[/symple_accordion_section]
[symple_accordion_section title=”How do I look after my newly painted kitchen?”]
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.
