FAQs
Kitchen Refacing in Dorking: FAQs
Do you provide kitchen refacing across all of Dorking?
Yes, we cover the RH4 and RH5 postcode areas in full, including Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth.
How do I know if my kitchen is suitable for refacing rather than a full replacement?
The key factor is the condition of the carcasses — if they're square, dry and free of damage or swelling (particularly around the sink and dishwasher), refacing is usually a viable option. We check this during the initial assessment.
Can the worktop be replaced as part of refacing?
Yes, replacing the worktop alongside the doors and fronts is common and often included in the same job — it's one of the changes that makes the biggest visual difference.
Can barns near Dorking be converted to residential use?
It depends on the specific planning history and policy for the building, including whether Class Q permitted development rights apply. This is assessed individually for each building.
