Preparation
RDS Painting and Decorating Specialists believe that a great job always begins with the right preparation. At the start of any hand-painted kitchen project, the RDS team will remove and clean all of your handles, sanitise and de-grease your doors and draws, and mask your worktops using lining paper and tapes. Following this we will lay a protective spill-proof and impact-resistant board to ensure your worktops are safe while we work.
Sanding
Once your kitchen is cleaned and protected the RDS specialists will use our Festool dust-free sanding equipment to thoroughly sand every part of your kitchen, making it ready to take the primer and top coats. This is essential to ensure the coats adhere correctly preventing chipping or peeling that can happen on unprepared surfaces. Because we are passionate about giving you a high quality and long lasting finish, we spend extra time here to to ensure the cleaning and sanding are done right.
Priming
The team will then apply a high-adhesion primer. RDS Painting and Decorating Specialists use Tikkurilla's Otex primer, which can be tinted to match your chosen top coat improving the coverage and depth of colour. Tikkurilla are the leading Nordic paint company and their products are second to none when it comes to hand-painted kitchens.
Top Coats
To finish, RDS Painting and Decorating Specialists will apply at least two top coats of the colour you have selected. We recommend the Tikkurila Helmi range for its durability. Helmi comes in matt, semi-matt, and gloss finishes.
This stage is where your old kitchen is given a new lease of life. Our experienced team will apply the final coats using all of their skill and patience to leave your kitchen looking better than ever.
