Kitchen makeovers in Warwickshire

Kitchen makeovers in Warwickshire: approvals and local details

Planning permission is rarely needed for this work in Warwickshire. We'll still look at access, parking for deliveries and any shared boundaries before we price it.

The kitchen can usually stay in use for most of a makeover, apart from a day while the sink and hob are disconnected.
Replacing doors and worktops on existing units doesn't usually need Building Regulations approval.
Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so replacement doors are widely available.

Options to consider in Warwickshire

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.

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.

Questions about kitchen makeovers in Warwickshire

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.

Do you cover the whole of Warwickshire?

Yes — we cover Warwickshire from our West Bromwich base, including Coventry, Solihull and Birmingham. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Warwickshire?

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.
