Before your kitchen makeover in Kinver
Your kitchen makeover won't normally need planning permission or Building Regulations approval. The exception is a listed building in Kinver, where changes may need listed building consent from South Staffordshire Council.
- The kitchen can usually stay in use for most of a makeover, apart from a day while the sink and hob are disconnected.
- Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so replacement doors are widely available.
- Checking the carcasses first stops new doors being fitted to cabinets that won't last.

Which option fits your home?
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.
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.

Kitchen makeovers in Kinver: common questions
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 Kinver?
Yes. Kinver (DY7) is about 10 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.
Who approves kitchen makeovers in Kinver?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where South Staffordshire Council would need to give listed building consent first.
