Kitchen refurbishment in Crieff

What prompts kitchen refurbishment in Crieff?

If you have bought a house in Crieff with a dated kitchen that still works, refreshing the doors, worktop and sink is often the quickest way to make it feel like your own.

A kitchen fitted ten or fifteen years ago in a Crieff home may have good units let down by a chipped laminate worktop, faded doors and a stained sink. Kitchens in every part of Crieff are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Crieff?

Across Perth and Kinross you will often find sandstone tenement flats, Victorian villas, stone cottages and post-war council-built houses, and each shapes the kitchen differently. Victorian villas in Perth and Crieff often have a separate kitchen and former scullery, while tenement flats tend to have a small kitchen off the hall.

Mains water across Perth and Kinross is soft, though some remote homes rely on private supplies that may need testing and filtering. Highland Perthshire roads can be narrow and winding, and older town streets may have limited parking, so delivery vehicle size and timing are planned ahead.

Building regulations, electrics and gas in Crieff

In Scotland, replacing doors, worktops, a sink or light fittings in a house does not normally need a building warrant, and most electrical work in a house does not either, but it must meet the building standards and BS 7671, so ask for an electrical certificate. A listed building may need listed building consent before historic features are removed. Gas hobs are disconnected and reconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Parts of highland Perthshire lie within the Cairngorms or Loch Lomond and The Trossachs national parks, and listed buildings elsewhere may need consent for new vents.

Worth knowing before the fit

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 Crieff home; a kettle, a microwave and a washing-up bowl in another room make those days easier.
If you let a property in Crieff, book the refurbishment between tenancies and choose durable finishes such as laminate worktops and wipe-clean splashbacks.
Measure replacement doors against your carcasses rather than the old doors, as widths, hinge positions and drawer box sizes vary between ranges.

Questions about kitchen refurbishment in Crieff

How much does kitchen refurbishment cost in Crieff?

Guide prices in Crieff are about £2,400 to £5,600 including VAT for new doors, worktops and handles on sound units. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.

Can you measure up in Crieff before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Crieff. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

Is it worth refurbishing a kitchen rather than replacing it?

Often, yes, if the carcasses are sound and you are happy with the layout. A refurbishment keeps the hidden structure and spends the budget on what you see. It stops being good value when several units are water-damaged, when you want to move the sink, hob or walls, or when the units are an unusual size that new doors will not suit.

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.

How long will I be without a kitchen during a refurbishment?

Usually two to seven days on site. New doors and handles can often be fitted in a day or two with the kitchen usable between visits. Replacing worktops, the sink and the splashback takes longer, and stone worktops add about one to two weeks between templating and fitting. Ask about a temporary worktop so the sink can stay in use during that gap.
