Before your kitchen makeover in Wythall
There's normally nothing to apply for. Bromsgrove District Council only needs to be involved if your home is listed, or if it's in a conservation area with extra controls on changes to the outside.
- Most fitted kitchens use standard unit widths, so replacement doors are widely available.
- The kitchen can usually stay in use for most of a makeover, apart from a day while the sink and hob are disconnected.
- Checking the carcasses first stops new doors being fitted to cabinets that won't last.

Choices to weigh up in Wythall
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.
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.

Your questions answered
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 Wythall?
Yes. Wythall (B47) is about 11 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.
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 Wythall?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Bromsgrove District Council would need to give listed building consent first.
