Kitchen makeovers in Hodge Hill: approvals and local details
There's normally nothing to apply for. Birmingham City 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.
- Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so replacement doors are widely available.
- Glass splashbacks behind a hob need to be heat-rated and fitted with the hob manufacturer's clearances.
- A gas hob taken out for new worktops must be reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Which option fits your home?
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.
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.

Before you book in Hodge Hill
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.
Which postcodes in Hodge Hill do you work in?
We cover B8 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Hodge Hill, neighbouring Aston and Stechford are covered too.
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.
Who approves kitchen makeovers in Hodge Hill?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Birmingham City Council would need to give listed building consent first.
