Kitchen makeovers in Staffordshire

Before your kitchen makeover in Staffordshire

There's normally nothing to apply for. the district or borough council for your town 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.
Glass splashbacks behind a hob need to be heat-rated and fitted with the hob manufacturer's clearances.
Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so replacement doors are widely available.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

Your questions answered

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.

How do I book a survey in Staffordshire?

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 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.

Will I need permission from the council in Staffordshire?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where the district or borough council for your town would need to give listed building consent first.
