Kitchen makeovers in Aston

Before your kitchen makeover in Aston

There's normally nothing to apply for. Birmingham City Council only needs to be involved if your home is listed, or if it's in a conservation area with extra controls on changes to the outside.

Soft-close hinges and drawer runners are an inexpensive upgrade that makes older units feel new.
Glass splashbacks behind a hob need to be heat-rated and fitted with the hob manufacturer's clearances.
Checking the carcasses first stops new doors being fitted to cabinets that won't last.

Which options suit homes in Aston?

Handles, hinges and drawer runners

Swapping handles changes the style at very low cost, and upgrading to soft-close hinges and runners makes old units feel new. New handles may not line up with old screw holes, so they're usually fitted at the same time as new doors, or the old holes are filled carefully.

Lighting and small upgrades

Under-cabinet LED strips, plinth lights or new ceiling spotlights make the kitchen easier to work in. Adding lights to an existing kitchen circuit isn't notifiable, but a new circuit is, and either way the electrical work is tested. A new sink and tap or a replacement extractor can be added to the same visit.

Questions about kitchen makeovers in Aston

What guarantees do replacement doors and worktops have?

Doors, worktops, sinks, taps and hinges carry their own manufacturers' guarantees, and the terms for each product are set out in your quote. Some worktop guarantees depend on correct sealing and care, so we'll tell you what the manufacturer asks for. If anything we fitted isn't right afterwards, call us and we'll come back to look at it.

Which postcodes in Aston do you work in?

We cover B6 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Aston, neighbouring Perry Barr and Hodge Hill are covered too.

How long does a kitchen makeover take?

Most take 2–4 days on site. Doors and drawer fronts usually take a day or two, and laminate or wood worktops another day or so. Stone worktops are templated after any unit adjustments and fitted up to two weeks later. You can keep using the kitchen for most of the work, apart from a day or so while the sink and hob are disconnected.

Will I need permission from the council in Aston?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Birmingham City Council would need to give listed building consent first.
