My years of experience and dedication to quality, result in beautifully finished products that showcase my ability and skills.
Custom Designs: Unlike many competitors, I will take the time to work closely with clients to create bespoke colour designs tailored to their individual tastes and the specific style of their project. This personalised approach means clients receive a unique transformation that reflects their vision.
Attention to Detail: My attention to detail is thorough and meticulous. From surface preparation to the final coat, I aim to ensure that every aspect of the painting process is executed to perfection, providing a flawless finish that enhances the kitchen’s overall aesthetic.
Quality Materials: I use high-quality paints and finishes that are durable and specifically suited for kitchen environments and around the home. This commitment to quality not only ensures a beautiful appearance but also guarantees longevity and resistance to wear and tear.
Experience and Expertise: With over 35 years of experience in hand painting and kitchen transformations, I have honed the skills and techniques used. This allows me to tackle complex projects and provide solutions that less experienced competitors might overlook.
Reputation and Reviews: 5 star positive client testimonials and reviews. Satisfied customers frequently recommend me for my exceptional workmanship and customer service, providing peace of mind for new clients.

Comprehensive Service: My full-service approach means I handle everything from initial enquiries and consultations to final inspections. This ensures a smooth and stress-free experience for clients throughout the entire process.
Since the early 80′s I have worked on myriad projects, but favour the special demands of hand painting kitchens, furniture and period properties, where I come into my own, incorporating specialist traditional techniques with cutting edge efficiency-saving tools and equipment.
Throughout the mid 90s as part of my on-going professional development to master my trade and offer the best services possible, I consistently attended night school courses to improve and showcase my craft skills. I studied Traditional Sign Writing, Decorative paint effects and Modern / Traditional Furniture Restoration including French Polishing. In 2007 I developed a furniture repair & touch up course in conjunction with an Italian Lacquer & Wood Finishing manufacturer based in Venice and worked alongside the Master Furniture restorer for Benetton. I am a fully qualified time served painter, decorator and fine finisher with City & Guilds Advanced Craft. A qualified painting and decorating teacher / trainer and have an OCR Level 4 qualification to Assess Competence in the Work Environment. I have also studied for a Heritage Skills qualification for Restoration and Conservation.
In a nutshell, I’m a bit of a paint geek!
Hand painting a kitchen offers you the opportunity to create not only something totally unique. But also a chance to explore colour and get creative. My approach to each job is exactly the same, whether it be a modest kitchen refurbishment to an existing kitchen, a large bespoke new installation or period home restoration. I use tried and trusted methods, traditional skills with meticulous preparation, quality materials and an approach to ensure your project runs smoothly with the minimum disruption from start to finish!
