Hand Painted Kitchen Specialists Transforming kitchens, brushstroke by brushstroke
Welcome to MJL Decorating Services — where quality, experience, and craftsmanship come together to transform your home or commercial space.
With over 40 + years in the painting and decorating trade, our founder, Matt Lemon, brings passion and precision to every project. Trained through a 4-year apprenticeship and qualified with City & Guilds in both Craft and Advanced Painting & Decorating, Matt has built a reputation for delivering exceptional results that stand the test of time.
Bespoke, Hand-Finished Craftsmanship
Every kitchen we paint is finished by hand using professional brushes, rollers, and premium paints — no spray guns, no shortcuts. This gives you a beautifully smooth finish with depth, character, and long-lasting durability that factory finishes can’t match.
A Fresh New Look Without Replacing Units
Transform your kitchen without the cost or disruption of a full refit. We revitalise your existing cabinets, doors, and trims, working quickly and cleanly to deliver a kitchen that feels brand new — for a fraction of the price and without the waste.

Why Choose MJL Decorating Services?
At MJL Decorating Services, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to deliver stunning, long-lasting kitchen transformations.
We use only premium paints and materials, ensuring a finish that’s smooth, durable and built to last.
Every project is carried out carefully, cleanly and respectfully — we treat your home as if it were our own.
How long does the process take?
Each hand-painted kitchen project varies depending on the size and condition of the kitchen. We’ll always provide a clear project schedule before any work begins.
Do you take the doors away to paint them?
No — all doors and drawer fronts are painted on site, along with the frames, plinths, and trims, ensuring a consistent, high-quality finish throughout your kitchen.
Do I need to buy new handles?
Not unless you want to. We can refit your existing handles, or reposition and drill new ones if you’re upgrading to a different style.
Is hand painting durable?
Absolutely. With the right preparation and premium materials, a hand-painted finish is hard-wearing, easy to clean, and will last for years with normal use.
