Kitchen makeovers in Nuneaton: approvals and local details
Your kitchen makeover won't normally need planning permission or Building Regulations approval. The exception is a listed building in Nuneaton, where changes may need listed building consent from Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council.
- The kitchen can usually stay in use for most of a makeover, apart from a day while the sink and hob are disconnected.
- Soft-close hinges and drawer runners are an inexpensive upgrade that makes older units feel new.
- Adding lights to an existing kitchen circuit isn't notifiable, but a new circuit from the consumer unit is.

Which options suit homes in Nuneaton?
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.
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.

Before you book in Nuneaton
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 Nuneaton do you work in?
We cover CV11 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Nuneaton, neighbouring Bedworth and Atherstone 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.
Will I need permission from the council in Nuneaton?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council would need to give listed building consent first.
