Kitchen makeovers in Catshill

What should you know before starting in Catshill?

Adding lights to an existing kitchen circuit isn't notifiable, but a new circuit from the consumer unit is.
Checking the carcasses first stops new doors being fitted to cabinets that won't last.
Soft-close hinges and drawer runners are an inexpensive upgrade that makes older units feel new.

Which options suit homes in Catshill?

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.

Replacement doors and drawer fronts

New doors in shaker, slab, gloss or wood-effect finishes, made to fit your existing carcasses. Most fitted kitchens use standard unit sizes, so replacement doors are easy to source; older or unusual kitchens may need made-to-measure doors. New end panels, plinths and cornice are matched so the finish looks complete rather than patched.

What does your kitchen makeover cost in Catshill?

For a home in Catshill, our guide range is £1,200–£11,000 depending on size and specification. New doors, drawer fronts, handles and laminate worktops for a 12-unit kitchen: usually £3,200–£4,800.

How much does a kitchen makeover cost compared with a new kitchen?

Which postcodes in Catshill do you work in?

We cover B61 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Catshill, neighbouring Bromsgrove and Rubery are covered too.

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.

Who approves kitchen makeovers in Catshill?

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