Kitchen makeovers in Wolverhampton

What should you know before starting in Wolverhampton?

Your kitchen makeover won't normally need planning permission or Building Regulations approval. The exception is a listed building in Wolverhampton, where changes may need listed building consent from City of Wolverhampton Council.

The kitchen can usually stay in use for most of a makeover, apart from a day while the sink and hob are disconnected.
Glass splashbacks behind a hob need to be heat-rated and fitted with the hob manufacturer's clearances.
Replacing doors and worktops on existing units doesn't usually need Building Regulations approval.

Choices to weigh up in Wolverhampton

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.

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.

Questions about kitchen makeovers in Wolverhampton

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.

Do you cover the whole of Wolverhampton?

Yes — we cover Wolverhampton from our West Bromwich base, including Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Wolverhampton?

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