Gordons Kitchen Makeovers

FAQs

Replacement kitchen doors and worktops or bespoke full-fitted kitchens, we do it all! Got questions about what we do?
Check out our FAQ’s below!

I’m worried about letting strangers into my home, can I trust you?

Of course. Gordon’s Makeovers are a long running, well-established family business who have operated for over 27 years. We have completed thousands of kitchen refurbishments since 1994 and our testimonials are a testament to not only the quality of our work and products but also the business owners, fitters and everyone involved.

Do I have to pay everything upfront?

No, Gordon’s Makeovers will only ask you for 30% deposit up front and will only take the final 70% upon delivery of your products. The fitting fee is payable once our fitters have completed the work and is payable separately to the fitter’s directly.

Will you just replace one door?

Feel free to get in touch with us, as we may be able to supply you with just one door, however, in our experience, unless we have supplied your original kitchen/kitchen doors then an exact matchup is unlikely. We are not an ecommerce online shop, where you can just buy a door “off-the-shelf” as all our doors are made-to-measure.

I don’t want a pushy salesman in my home?

Gordon’s Makeovers offer FREE, NO OBLIGATION estimates, but have to make a home visit to measure your existing kitchen and give an accurate and honest quote. We don’t believe in hard sales, so you will never feel under any pressure from us to make a decision and can take all the time you want.

How much mess and disruption will there be?

We endeavour to create as little disruption as possible and we try to leave the kitchen operational at the end of each working day. All mess will be cleared.

Do you only offer kitchen makeovers?

Gordon’s Makeovers will do as little or as much as you want, in respect of a refurbishment from doors, through to a full makeover, worktops, trims, sink, taps, appliances, etc. We can also recommend tradesmen for other aspects such as plumbing and tiling if required.

How much does a kitchen makeover cost?

It is very difficult for us to give you an exact quote over the phone, as it all depends on the current state of your kitchen, the amount of doors, if you require anything else etc. The best way is to allow us to come into your home with our Free No Obligation Quotation appointment, as then we can measure up and give you an accurate quote there and then. However what we find is that typically around half the price of a fully fitted kitchen.

How long does the fitting process take?

It usually takes around 1 to 2 days to complete the whole project.

Does it matter how old my kitchen is?

No. Gordon’s Makeovers provides a made-to-measure kitchen door service so age is of no importance providing the kitchen carcasses are sound, regardless of whether they are imperial or metric.

Do you remove the rubbish after the work is complete?

Yes! We can remove the rubbish following your kitchen makeover, please ask our surveyor at the time of your quotation.

One of my doors is broken, do you provide a match-up service?

Unfortunately, we can’t provide a guaranteed match-up service unless we have previously supplied your existing kitchen. If we have then that’s great, please contact us with the style, colour and measurements of your door or doors and we can discuss prices and place an order for you.

If we haven’t supplied your existing kitchen but you have seen a style and colour that you feel would be suitable, either through our website or by visiting our showrooms, then please feel free to contact us and we will see what we can do to help.

However if you had a kitchen previously supplied by us, we cannot always guarantee the exact shade match. The Vinyl on some of our products is somewhat like wallpaper and can slightly vary from batch to batch.

My kitchen door is peeling, do you re-cover doors?

Unfortunately we do not provide this service and we cannot re-cover or re-paint any damaged, peeling kitchen doors.

If you are lucky enough to find your existing door style and colour in our Door Ranges (or in our showroom – our website can only show a small selection of our extensive range!) we can of course provide any sized door, for any purpose, made-to-measure. Please feel free to contact us for a quote

If we haven’t supplied your existing kitchen but you have seen a style and colour that you feel would be suitable, either through our website or by visiting our showrooms, then please feel free to contact us and we will see what we can do to help. Please be advised however, colours and their shades can vary e.g. Oak can look very different depending on the manufacturer’s specifications, as can Maple, Birch or Walnut therefore our “Oak” may not match with your existing kitchen’s “Oak”.

My kitchen door is peeling, do you re-cover doors?

Unfortunately we do not provide this service and we cannot re-cover or re-paint any damaged, peeling kitchen doors. It may be possible for us to match up to your existing kitchen door style and replace your old door with a new one, however this is something we cannot guarantee either. Colours and styles change over time and therefore can be difficult to match-up due to a number of factors, not least of all the kitchen’s age and original supplier.

If you are lucky enough to find your existing door style and colour in our Door Ranges (or in our showroom – our website can only show a small selection of our extensive range!) we can of course provide any sized door, for any purpose, made-to-measure. Please feel free to contact us for a quote.
