Kitchen refurbishment in Bognor Regis

Why do people in Bognor Regis choose kitchen refurbishment?

If the kitchen in your Bognor Regis flat is compact and well planned, there is little to gain from moving anything; new surfaces, a new sink and better lighting can do most of the work.

Plenty of homeowners in Bognor Regis have kitchens with solid carcasses and tired fronts, and a refurbishment lets them keep the layout they are used to while replacing everything they see each day. Bognor Regis sits about 31 miles south-west of Crawley, and our West Sussex coverage takes in everything in between.

What does the job involve?

Your written quote lists everything included. For kitchen refurbishment, that normally means:

Damaged units or tired appliances swapped where the rest of the kitchen is sound
New handles drilled and fitted, with hinges and drawer runners adjusted or replaced
Old worktops removed and new laminate, wood or stone worktops fitted
Sink and tap replaced on the existing supplies and waste
Free survey visit to check every carcass for water damage, level and fixings
Under-cabinet and ceiling lighting updated by an electrician and tested to BS 7671

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Bognor Regis?

You will find 1930s semis, flint and brick cottages, post-war new town houses and seaside bungalows throughout West Sussex. Crawley's new-town houses often have a compact galley, while seaside bungalows in Worthing and Bognor Regis tend to have a small square kitchen beside the dining area.

Coastal flats may have no lift, and village lanes on the edge of the Downs can be narrow for delivery lorries, so the delivery route is checked at the survey. West Sussex has mostly hard water, so limescale on taps, sinks and boiling water taps is common and a filter is worth considering.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Bognor Regis

Refurbishing a kitchen in England needs no planning permission or Building Regulations approval in itself, though a listed home may need listed building consent before historic features are removed. Swapping light fittings or adding sockets on existing kitchen circuits is not notifiable under Part P but must meet BS 7671; a new circuit is notifiable. A gas hob must be disconnected and reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Homes in the South Downs National Park, listed flint cottages and conservation areas such as central Chichester may need consent for a new external vent.

Planning ahead

If your Bognor Regis kitchen has a tiled splashback, decide early whether it stays; removing old tiles often damages the plaster behind and adds a day of making good.
Collect appliance model numbers before the survey so housing sizes and door-fixing kits can be checked against anything you plan to keep or replace.
Plan meals for the days the worktop and sink are out in your Bognor Regis home; a kettle, a microwave and a washing-up bowl in another room make those days easier.
Check whether the hinges and drawer runners can be reused; worn or mismatched fittings can stop new doors from sitting straight.

Questions about kitchen refurbishment in Bognor Regis

How much does kitchen refurbishment cost in Bognor Regis?

Kitchen refurbishment in Bognor Regis typically costs £2,900 to £6,900 including VAT for new doors, worktops and handles on sound units, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Do you cover all of Bognor Regis?

Yes. We work across Bognor Regis, including the PO21 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Chichester and Littlehampton. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

Will a refurbished kitchen look like a new one?

It can come very close, because doors, worktops, handles and the splashback make up most of what you see. The differences show inside the cupboards and in the layout, which stays the same. Matching new end panels, plinths and cornice to the doors matters, because old panels left in place give the age of the kitchen away.

How do you check whether my kitchen units are sound?

At the survey we check the carcasses one by one. We look for swollen or flaking board around the sink, dishwasher and kettle area, staining from old leaks, sagging shelves, damaged hinge holes, loose wall fixings and units that have dropped out of level. Sound carcasses are kept, and damaged ones are listed on the quote as replacements so nothing is left to chance later.

Can I keep my existing appliances during a refurbishment?

Usually, yes. Built-in ovens, hobs and integrated appliances can stay if they work well and suit the existing housings. If you replace one, the new appliance must match the housing dimensions and door-fixing method, and a larger oven or an induction hob may need a new cooker circuit. We check model numbers and sizes at the survey, before you buy anything.
