What should you know before starting in Perton?
There's normally nothing to apply for. South Staffordshire 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.
- The kitchen can usually stay in use for most of a makeover, apart from a day while the sink and hob are disconnected.
- Replacing doors and worktops on existing units doesn't usually need Building Regulations approval.
- Glass splashbacks behind a hob need to be heat-rated and fitted with the hob manufacturer's clearances.

Which options suit homes in Perton?
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.

Questions about kitchen makeovers in Perton
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.
How do I book a survey in Perton?
Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your kitchen makeover and arrange a time to visit.
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.
Will I need permission from the council in Perton?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where South Staffordshire Council would need to give listed building consent first.
