Guarantees & standards

Confidence & reassurance

Professional Standards Behind Every Kitchen

We believe clients should be able to commission work with confidence. Our guarantees and professional standards are clear and transparent, providing reassurance during the project and after the work has been completed.

Our guarantee

Two Years of Reassurance

All hand-painted kitchen refurbishment work is guaranteed for two years against fair wear and tear.

This reflects the care taken during preparation, application and curing of the paintwork. The guarantee is offered as reassurance and is supported by proper working methods, rather than being a substitute for good workmanship.

Our working standards

What’s Included

  • Careful protection of floors, worktops and surrounding areas
  • Thorough preparation, including cleaning, sanding and filling where required
  • Hand-painted application using traditional methods
  • Reassembly and final checks to ensure everything operates correctly
  • A two-year guarantee against fair wear and tear
Important exclusions

What’s Not Included

  • Damage caused by misuse, excessive heat, standing water or harsh chemical cleaners
  • General wear outside normal domestic use
  • Structural issues within cabinetry or changes unrelated to the paintwork

If you are ever unsure whether something is covered, please ask. We are always happy to advise.

Specialist recognition

Traditional Painter Professional Standards

In recognition of our experience in hand-painted kitchens, we were invited to join Traditional Painter — a collective of independent kitchen painting specialists working to shared professional standards and a strict code of conduct.

Membership supports the same principles that have always been central to our own work: careful preparation, appropriate materials, attention to detail and professional conduct in clients’ homes.

In the unlikely event of a concern

A Clear Route to Resolution

If a concern regarding our workmanship should arise, clients are guided through our clear two-step complaints procedure.

STEP 01 Speak to Us First

Please contact Paul directly so the concern can be discussed, assessed and, where appropriate, resolved.

STEP 02 Independent Resolution

If a matter cannot be resolved directly, our Alternative Dispute Resolution arrangements provide an independent route forward.

Our work is covered by our Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) agreement with the Dispute Resolution Ombudsman, licensed by Trading Standards. We are legally bound to follow their recommendations.
