Planning your kitchen makeover in Sedgley
There's normally nothing to apply for. Dudley 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.
- A gas hob taken out for new worktops must be reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Soft-close hinges and drawer runners are an inexpensive upgrade that makes older units feel new.

Options to consider in Sedgley
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.
How much should you budget in Sedgley?

Before you book in Sedgley
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.

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.
Who approves kitchen makeovers in Sedgley?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Dudley Council would need to give listed building consent first.
