- Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so replacement doors are widely available.
- Checking the carcasses first stops new doors being fitted to cabinets that won't last.

Options to consider in Bloxwich
New worktops
Replacing tired worktops changes a kitchen more than almost anything else. Laminate is quick and affordable, solid wood brings warmth, and quartz or compact laminate is hard-wearing. Changing worktops means disconnecting the sink and hob, so plumbing and, for a gas hob, a Gas Safe registered engineer are included where needed.
Splashbacks and upstands
Tiles, toughened glass, acrylic sheet or matching worktop upstands protect the wall behind the sink and hob. Glass behind a hob must be heat-rated and fitted with the clearances the hob manufacturer specifies. A new splashback is often the cheapest way to make a dated kitchen look current.

Questions about kitchen makeovers in Bloxwich
Will new doors fit my old kitchen?
Usually, yes. Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so doors are widely available in many styles. Older or less common kitchens sometimes have unusual sizes or hinge positions, and then made-to-measure doors are the answer. We measure every door and drawer front individually rather than relying on catalogue sizes, so they fit first time.
Which postcodes in Bloxwich do you work in?
We cover WS3 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Bloxwich, neighbouring Pelsall and Rushall are covered too.
How do I know if my units are good enough to keep?
Open the cupboard under the sink and the one beside the dishwasher. If the chipboard is swollen, crumbly or stained, those units may need replacing. Check that cabinets are level, backs are intact and hinges hold their screws. We check every cabinet at the survey and will tell you straight if a makeover isn't the right answer.
Does Walsall Council need to approve my kitchen makeover?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Walsall Council would need to give listed building consent first.
