Factory-smooth spray finishes for doors, kitchens, joinery and large surfaces.
Spray painting gives you a finish that brushes and rollers cannot match. We use HVLP and airless spray equipment to apply paint in fine, even coats across doors, fitted wardrobes, kitchens, staircases and large wall or ceiling areas. The result is a smooth, factory-like surface with no brush marks, no roller stipple and no visible lap lines. For homeowners and businesses across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, London and the South East, this is the right choice when you want a modern, hard-wearing finish on joinery or large surfaces.
Most people think of spraying for new kitchens or factory-finished doors, but the same technique works on existing fitted furniture, panelled walls, radiators, metal balustrades and even garage doors. The key is preparation. We spend more time masking, sanding and cleaning than we do spraying, because the paint only looks as good as the surface underneath it. Every door is removed where practical, labelled, and sprayed in a controlled area. Frames, skirtings and fixed cabinetry are masked with film and low-tack tape before we start.
We choose the coating to suit the material and the expected wear. Water-based acrylic and polyurethane sprays are standard for interior woodwork because they stay white, dry quickly and produce very little smell. Solvent-based sprays are sometimes better for high-traffic commercial doors or metalwork, but they need longer drying times and more ventilation. For kitchens and bathrooms we use moisture-resistant coatings that cope with steam and regular cleaning. We can match any colour from RAL, BS or the major paint brands, and we can advise on sheen levels from dead flat to full gloss.
Spraying is not right for every job. Small rooms with lots of furniture, occupied bedrooms or surfaces that cannot be properly masked are often better brushed and rolled. But if you have a staircase to repaint, a kitchen to refresh, or a set of doors that need a flawless finish, spray application is the most efficient and consistent way to get it.
We spray new and existing doors, including flush, panel, fire and glazed doors. Doors are removed where possible, sanded, primed if needed, and sprayed in a dust-free area. We can supply and fit new doors or respray your current ones in any colour.
Kitchen doors, drawer fronts, end panels and plinths can be sprayed on site or in our workshop. We use hard-wearing, moisture-resistant coatings designed for frequent cleaning. Handles and hinges are removed or masked, and every surface is degreased before spraying.
Built-in wardrobes, shelving, desks and media units are sprayed in place after careful masking. This is a cost-effective way to update fitted furniture without replacing it. We spray MDF, timber, veneer and previously painted surfaces.
Stair strings, spindles, handrails and newel posts are time-consuming to paint by hand. Spraying gives a smooth, even coat on all the turned details and hard-to-reach areas. We mask carpets, walls and floors completely before starting.
For large open rooms, hallways or commercial spaces, we can spray emulsion onto walls and ceilings. This is faster than rolling and gives a perfectly flat finish, especially on new plaster or after lining paper. We use airless sprayers with low overspray tips.
Radiators, pipework, metal balustrades and steel beams can be sprayed with specialist metal primers and topcoats. We prepare the metal by cleaning, degreasing and keying the surface, then apply thin coats to avoid drips and sags.
We visit the property to check access, ventilation, surface condition and the amount of masking needed. You get a written quote that covers preparation, materials, spraying and clean-up.
We remove doors and hardware where possible, then mask everything that is not being sprayed: floors, windows, light fittings, sockets, worktops and adjacent walls. Dust sheets and polythene protect furniture and carpets.
Every surface is washed down, sanded and filled. Bare wood gets a primer or adhesion coat. Previously painted surfaces are keyed and spot primed. We use stain blockers on knots, water marks and nicotine stains.
We apply the finish in thin, even coats using HVLP or airless equipment. Each coat is allowed to flash off before the next. We sand lightly between coats where needed to remove any nibs or dust.
We allow the full recoat and drying time before removing masking and refitting doors and hardware. You can usually use the room the same day, but we advise leaving the paint to harden for a few days before heavy cleaning.
We walk through the job with you, check every surface under good light, and touch up any areas that need it. We leave the room clean and tidy, with all waste removed.
The biggest factor is the amount of preparation and masking. A single door is quick to spray but still needs sanding, degreasing and masking around the frame. A full kitchen with twenty doors and drawer fronts takes much longer because every piece has to be removed, labelled, cleaned, sanded and sprayed on both sides.
The condition of the existing surface matters too. Glossy or greasy surfaces need more cleaning and sanding. Old varnish or lacquer may need to be stripped or primed with a specialist adhesion coat. If we are spraying new joinery, the preparation is usually faster but the timber still needs a primer or mist coat.
The type of coating changes the schedule. Water-based sprays dry in one to two hours and can be recoated the same day. Solvent-based sprays need longer between coats and several days to fully harden. Some coatings need a controlled environment, so we may recommend spraying doors in our workshop rather than on site.
Access and ventilation affect the job too. A well-ventilated room with space to set up a spray booth is quicker than a small, occupied room with no windows. For exterior spraying, the weather is the main limitation. We need dry, calm conditions and a surface temperature above five degrees Celsius, so exterior work is usually planned between spring and autumn.
A spray-applied finish is no different to a brushed finish once it has cured. You can clean it with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads and solvent-based products for the first few weeks while the paint reaches full hardness.
On kitchen doors and high-traffic joinery, expect the finish to be durable but not indestructible. The same rules apply as with any painted surface: wipe up spills promptly, use trivets and chopping boards, and avoid knocking edges with hard objects. Small chips can be touched up with a fine brush if you keep some of the original paint.
The main advantage of spraying is that the surface is smoother and more even than a brushed finish, so it collects less dust and is easier to wipe down. That is particularly noticeable on kitchen cabinets, where grease and cooking residue sit on the surface rather than in brush marks.

We spray timber, MDF, veneer, metal and previously painted surfaces. This includes interior doors, kitchen cabinets, fitted wardrobes, staircases, radiators, walls and ceilings. We do not spray unprimed plaster, wallpaper or surfaces that cannot be properly masked and protected.
We remove or cover all furniture, mask floors, windows, sockets, light fittings and adjacent surfaces, and seal off the area with polythene sheeting. Doors and hardware are removed where possible. We then wash, sand and fill every surface before applying primer or adhesion coats.
Yes, when the correct coating is used and the surface is properly prepared. Spray application does not reduce durability. In fact, the smoother finish is often easier to clean and less likely to trap dirt. We use the same trade paints that we would apply by brush or roller.
Contact us to arrange a survey. We will visit the property, look at the surfaces, and give you a written quote covering preparation, masking, spraying and clean-up. The quote will state the coating system, sheen level and expected drying times.
