Options to consider in Studley
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.
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.

Before you book in Studley
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.
Which postcodes in Studley do you work in?
We cover B80 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Studley, neighbouring Redditch and Alcester are covered too.
How much does a kitchen makeover cost compared with a new kitchen?
A makeover typically costs £1,200–£11,000 in the West Midlands, including VAT where it applies, against roughly £7,500–£28,000 to supply and fit a new kitchen. New doors, drawer fronts, handles and laminate worktops for a 12-unit kitchen usually come to £3,200–£4,800. The saving comes from keeping the carcasses, plumbing and layout you already have.
Does Stratford-on-Avon District Council need to approve my kitchen makeover?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Stratford-on-Avon District Council would need to give listed building consent first.
