FAQs
Kitchen Refacing in Lewes: FAQs
Do you provide kitchen refacing across all of Lewes?
Yes, we cover the BN7 postcode area in full, including Cliffe, Southover, Landport, Nevill, Malling, Wallands.
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.
How does South Downs National Park status affect building work in Lewes?
Development within the National Park is assessed with particular regard to landscape character and setting, alongside normal planning policy. Combined with the town's conservation area and listed building status, this means early advice is particularly valuable in Lewes.
