Planning your kitchen makeover in Brierley Hill
Planning permission is rarely needed for this work in Brierley Hill. We'll still look at access, parking for deliveries and any shared boundaries before we price it.
- The kitchen can usually stay in use for most of a makeover, apart from a day while the sink and hob are disconnected.
- Glass splashbacks behind a hob need to be heat-rated and fitted with the hob manufacturer's clearances.
- Soft-close hinges and drawer runners are an inexpensive upgrade that makes older units feel new.

Which options suit homes in Brierley Hill?
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.
How much should you budget in Brierley Hill?

Your questions answered
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.
How do I book a survey in Brierley Hill?
Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your kitchen makeover and arrange a time to visit.
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.
Who approves kitchen makeovers in Brierley Hill?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Dudley Council would need to give listed building consent first.
