- Soft-close hinges and drawer runners are an inexpensive upgrade that makes older units feel new.

Which option fits your home?
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.
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
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.
Do you cover Walsgrave?
Yes. Walsgrave (CV2) is about 24 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.
Will new doors fit my old kitchen?
Usually, yes. Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so doors are widely available in many styles. Older or less common kitchens sometimes have unusual sizes or hinge positions, and then made-to-measure doors are the answer. We measure every door and drawer front individually rather than relying on catalogue sizes, so they fit first time.
Who approves kitchen makeovers in Walsgrave?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Coventry City Council would need to give listed building consent first.
