Kitchen Refacing in Guildford
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 Guildford, that covers Onslow Village, Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Westborough, Charlotteville, Shalford. Guildford is Surrey's county town, with a historic cobbled High Street, a substantial university population, and residential areas ranging from Victorian terraces near the centre to larger detached houses in the surrounding hills, close to the North Downs and Surrey Hills.

FAQs
Kitchen Refacing in Guildford: FAQs
Do you provide kitchen refacing across all of Guildford?
Yes, we cover the GU1, GU2, GU3 and GU4 postcode areas in full, including Onslow Village, Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Westborough, Charlotteville, Shalford.
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.
Are there conservation areas across Guildford?
Yes, several, including the historic town centre and parts of some residential neighbourhoods. We check the position for your specific address as part of the feasibility assessment.
