Choices to weigh up in Wordsley
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.
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.
What does your kitchen makeover cost in Wordsley?
Prices in Wordsley match the rest of our area: £1,200–£11,000 depending on size and specification. New doors, drawer fronts, handles and laminate worktops for a 12-unit kitchen: usually £3,200–£4,800.

Before you book in Wordsley
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.
How do I book a survey in Wordsley?
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.
What guarantees do replacement doors and worktops have?
Doors, worktops, sinks, taps and hinges carry their own manufacturers' guarantees, and the terms for each product are set out in your quote. Some worktop guarantees depend on correct sealing and care, so we'll tell you what the manufacturer asks for. If anything we fitted isn't right afterwards, call us and we'll come back to look at it.
Will I need permission from the council in Wordsley?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Dudley Council would need to give listed building consent first.
