Which options suit homes in Sandwell?

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.

Lighting and small upgrades

Under-cabinet LED strips, plinth lights or new ceiling spotlights make the kitchen easier to work in. Adding lights to an existing kitchen circuit isn't notifiable, but a new circuit is, and either way the electrical work is tested. A new sink and tap or a replacement extractor can be added to the same visit.

What does your kitchen makeover cost in Sandwell?

Expect to budget between £1,200 and £11,000 depending on size and specification in Sandwell. New doors, drawer fronts, handles and laminate worktops for a 12-unit kitchen: typically £3,200–£4,800.

Before you book in Sandwell

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.

Do you cover the whole of Sandwell?

Yes — we cover Sandwell from our West Bromwich base, including Dudley, Walsall and Wolverhampton. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Does Sandwell Council need to approve my kitchen makeover?

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