Which option fits your home?

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Do you cover Bromsgrove?

Yes. Bromsgrove (B61) is about 13 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Bromsgrove?

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