Kitchen makeovers in Penn

Before your kitchen makeover in Penn

There's normally nothing to apply for. City of Wolverhampton 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.

Checking the carcasses first stops new doors being fitted to cabinets that won't last.
Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so replacement doors are widely available.
Soft-close hinges and drawer runners are an inexpensive upgrade that makes older units feel new.

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.

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 Penn: common questions

Will new doors fit my old kitchen?

Usually, yes. Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so doors are widely available in many styles. Older or less common kitchens sometimes have unusual sizes or hinge positions, and then made-to-measure doors are the answer. We measure every door and drawer front individually rather than relying on catalogue sizes, so they fit first time.

Which postcodes in Penn do you work in?

We cover WV4 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Penn, neighbouring Sedgley and Wombourne 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.

Does City of Wolverhampton Council need to approve my kitchen makeover?

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