Before your kitchen makeover in Tile Hill
Planning permission is rarely needed for this work in Tile Hill. We'll still look at access, parking for deliveries and any shared boundaries before we price it.
- Checking the carcasses first stops new doors being fitted to cabinets that won't last.
- A gas hob taken out for new worktops must be reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
- The kitchen can usually stay in use for most of a makeover, apart from a day while the sink and hob are disconnected.

Which options suit homes in Tile Hill?
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.

Kitchen makeovers in Tile Hill: common questions
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.
Which postcodes in Tile Hill do you work in?
We cover CV4 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Tile Hill, neighbouring Allesley and Earlsdon 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.
Will I need permission from the council in Tile Hill?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Coventry City Council would need to give listed building consent first.
