Kitchen makeovers in Wednesbury

What should you know before starting in Wednesbury?

A gas hob taken out for new worktops must be reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so replacement doors are widely available.
Adding lights to an existing kitchen circuit isn't notifiable, but a new circuit from the consumer unit is.

Which options suit homes in Wednesbury?

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.

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.

Questions about kitchen makeovers in Wednesbury

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 Wednesbury?

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.

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.

Who approves kitchen makeovers in Wednesbury?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Sandwell Council would need to give listed building consent first.
