Kitchen makeovers in Pelsall

What should you know before starting in Pelsall?

Planning permission is rarely needed for this work in Pelsall. We'll still look at access, parking for deliveries and any shared boundaries before we price it.

Adding lights to an existing kitchen circuit isn't notifiable, but a new circuit from the consumer unit is.
The kitchen can usually stay in use for most of a makeover, apart from a day while the sink and hob are disconnected.
A gas hob taken out for new worktops must be reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

Kitchen makeovers in Pelsall: common questions

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.

Which postcodes in Pelsall do you work in?

We cover WS3 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Pelsall, neighbouring Brownhills and Walsall Wood are covered too.

What should I do before the makeover starts?

Clear the worktops and empty the cupboard under the sink, plus any cupboards whose doors are being changed on the first day. If worktops are being replaced, empty everything along those runs. Have a think about handle positions and splashback height before the fit, and keep a sample of your floor handy so we can check colours together.

Does Walsall Council need to approve my kitchen makeover?

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