Kitchen Refurbishments in Sissinghurst
Serving Sissinghurst & surrounding areas
Sissinghurst refurbishments are usually on previously-bespoke kitchens that are 15–20 years old — strong original carcasses but tired doors and worktops.

Why Sissinghurst kitchen refurbishments briefs are different
We re-front and re-top to refresh the kitchen without removing well-built carcasses. On Sissinghurst projects this typically saves 30–40% versus a full replacement.
Sissinghurst is a small but architecturally rich village of converted oast houses, weatherboarded cottages and a tight cluster of farmhouses near The Street.
Local considerations
Proximity to Sissinghurst Castle Garden means heritage officers at Tunbridge Wells take a noticeably tougher view on glazing styles and external finishes.
Many properties sit on heavy clay subsoil that shrinks dramatically in dry summers — we routinely build allowances for seasonal movement into structural design.
Refurbishments suffer most when sub-trades are sequenced badly — we keep all trades on our payroll so there's no finger-pointing over delays.
What Sissinghurst clients ask for
Many local kitchens are 15–25 years old and the buyer wants to know whether to refurb the carcasses or strip out entirely; we give an honest assessment at the first visit.
Recent local project
We refurbished a 2003 hand-painted kitchen in a Sissinghurst farmhouse by replacing doors with a fresh shaker design and adding a honed limestone worktop.

FAQs
Kitchen Refurbishments in Sissinghurst — frequently asked
Can older bespoke kitchens be refurbished?
Yes — well-built carcasses are usually worth keeping.
Will new finishes match existing?
Yes — we spray-finish on site to match adjoining cabinetry.
Can I keep using my old kitchen until install day?
Up to strip-out morning. We provide a temporary kitchen setup (kettle, microwave, sink in utility or downstairs) for the 2–3 weeks between strip and install.
Can you reuse my existing kitchen carcasses?
If they're sound (no swelling, level shelves, intact hinges), absolutely — replace doors, drawer fronts and worktops only. Typically 30–40% cheaper than a full strip.
Can I see work you've completed near Sissinghurst?
Yes — ask at the site visit and we'll point you to completed projects in and around Sissinghurst, and to clients happy to be contacted.
