Why Choose Sussex Furniture and Kitchen Painting?
At Sussex Furniture and Kitchen Painting (SFKP), we are passionate about delivering exceptional furniture and kitchen transformations for your home.
Based in Wivelsfield, near Haywards Heath, SFKP is a small team of skilled craftspeople. Founded in 2019 by Ed, our Director, our goal is to provide an exceptional timber finishing service to both trade and private clients across Sussex.
We pride ourselves on our professional-grade spray booth and advanced finishing tools, which set us apart from traditional timber spray shops. Unlike many, we specialise almost exclusively in catalysed water-based paints—a superior alternative to high-street paint and traditional solvent-based 2k paints. These specialist products, combined with our expertise, offer numerous advantages for timber coating in today’s modern world.
Why Our Catalysed Water-Based Paints are the Better Choice:
- Durability: As a 2K paint, it is catalysed with a hardener, making it more durable than air-dried 1K products.
- Eco-friendly: Being water-based, they are kinder to the environment and do not off-gas harmful chemicals or smell.
- No Yellowing: Our paints are far less prone to yellowing over time.
- Flexible Finish: They are slower drying than solvent-based equivalents and therefore less likely to ‘crack’ and so offer a flexible and resilient finish.

Meet the Team at Sussex Furniture and Kitchen Painting
ED – Director
After spending nearly 20 years in banking, the opportunity for a change in occupation led me into a second career in paint finishing. I retrained initially as painter decorator and having secured my diploma from Brighton Met, I started out on the journey that would lead me here! I have grown SFKP from a one-person operation to a skilled team that provides exceptional finishes.
I oversee our workshop, lead our physical painting operations, and ensure that we continuously advance our technical skills. My dedication to high-quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction ensures that every project is completed with care and precision.
Kath – Business Manager
With over 15 years of experience in the charity sector, I joined SFKP in June 2024 to oversee day-to-day operations. From the moment you request a quote to the final reveal of your transformed kitchen or furniture, I ensure that everything runs smoothly.
I love the variety this role offers, meeting wonderful clients and seeing the incredible impact of our work on beautiful homes across Sussex
Clare – Workshop Manager
Clare plays a critical role in ensuring each piece of furniture receives expert attention. She manages disassembly, preparation, and priming before every item moves into the spray booth, ensuring a flawless foundation for our premium finishes.
