Planning your kitchen makeover in Coseley
There's normally nothing to apply for. Dudley 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.
- Replacing doors and worktops on existing units doesn't usually need Building Regulations approval.
- Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so replacement doors are widely available.
- A gas hob taken out for new worktops must be reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Which options suit homes in Coseley?
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.
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.
What does your kitchen makeover cost in Coseley?

Before you book in Coseley
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.
Which postcodes in Coseley do you work in?
We cover WV14 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Coseley, neighbouring Tipton and Sedgley 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.
Will I need permission from the council in Coseley?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Dudley Council would need to give listed building consent first.
