Kitchen Refacing in East Grinstead
Kitchen refacing is the replacement of a kitchen's doors, drawer fronts, handles and worktop while retaining the existing carcasses and layout, giving a visually new kitchen at a lower cost and with less disruption than a full kitchen replacement.
In East Grinstead, that covers Ashurst Wood, Forest Row, Dormans Park, West Hoathly, Felbridge, Turners Hill, Imberhorne. East Grinstead's High Street is one of the best-preserved medieval streets in Sussex, lined with timber-framed and Georgian-fronted buildings, while the wider town includes Victorian terraces, 20th-century suburbs and newer estates. The town sits close to Ashdown Forest and the Weald countryside that gives the region its name.

Do you provide kitchen refacing across all of East Grinstead?
Yes, we cover the RH19 postcode area in full, including Ashurst Wood, Forest Row, Dormans Park, West Hoathly, Felbridge, Turners Hill, Imberhorne.
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 I extend a listed building in East Grinstead town centre?
Listed buildings require listed building consent for alterations that affect their character, in addition to any planning permission needed. We assess this on a case-by-case basis and can advise on the likely process.
