With 49% of Anlaby homes semi-detached and 43% of properties built from 1945 to 1972, the usual makeover is a mid-sized respray plus one or two extras, most often the worktops and the handles.
Worktops are done with our spray granite finish in Anlaby, which goes over laminate, tile, MDF and solid tops in place, whereas new granite or quartz has to be templated, cut and fitted, and the old top taken out, which usually means making good the walls and tiles around it as well; the coating avoids all of that, and like every extra it is priced as its own line on your quote.
Planning the Colour Scheme
Two-tone and island contrast
In a mid-sized L or U-shaped kitchen, the usual layout in the 2,910 semi-detached homes here (49%), a deeper base colour under lighter wall units grounds the room without shrinking it, and an island or peninsula is the natural place for the contrast.
Worktops, handles and splashback as one scheme
33% of properties here, about 2,080, were built before 1940, and the worktops in older houses are usually a later laminate or tiled top, both of which take spray granite well; we bring physical samples of the door colour, the stone-effect finishes and handle options so you can see them together in your own light. Handles are worth deciding at the same time: in Anlaby, where 43% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 12% from 1973 to 1999, most kitchens are later refits whose handles date them, and any old fixing holes are filled before the doors are sprayed.
Finish and colour range
Satin is the most requested topcoat because it wipes clean and suits traditional and modern kitchens alike, matt is striking on deep greens and dark greys, and gloss suits handleless designs; we can match any of more than 175,000 colours across RAL, Farrow and Ball, Little Greene and Dulux Trade, or a sample you bring, using spectrophotometer matching. In a mid-sized kitchen, typical of the 2,910 or so semis in Anlaby, satin is the safe all-round choice, with matt kept for an island or a single feature run.
How the Work Is Sequenced
- Survey, sprayed samples, fixed quote
- Room masked, doors to workshop
- Frames, panels and tiles sprayed
- Spray granite worktops, 24-hour cure
- Walls, ceiling, woodwork decorated last
- Doors refitted with new handles
- Walk-through and written guarantee
At 57 miles, about 1 hour 9 minutes by road from Leeds, we plan a Anlaby makeover as one unbroken run of days, confirmed in writing, with the worktop coating timed so most of its 24-hour cure falls overnight.
Living at home during the makeover
There is no strip-out, so you avoid the weeks without a kitchen that a refit involves; the doors and drawer fronts usually go to our Sheepscar workshop for spraying, leaving the cupboards open for a few days, so it helps to empty them and clear the worktops before we start, and the one real pause is the 24 hours the worktops need after coating. Decorating comes last so nothing new gets marked, and the exact order depends on what you include.

When the homes were built
What the age of Anlaby homes means for a makeover
43% of the 6,390 properties around Anlaby centre counted by the VOA were built between 1945 and 1972, well above the 26% average across the towns we cover. Few original kitchens from that period survive, so most of those 2,770 or so houses are on a second or third kitchen, often with sound carcasses and doors or worktops in finishes that date it, which is where a makeover gives the most for the money. The next largest group, 28% or about 1,800 properties, dates from 1919 to 1939, where the kitchen has often been enlarged or knocked through. Only 11% of properties here, about 710, are post-2000, so few kitchens are untouched developer originals.
Room size, islands and scope in Anlaby
Semi-detached houses are the biggest group at 49%, about 2,910 households, with 22% terraced and 18% detached. A typical kitchen in those 2,910 or so semis is a mid-sized L or U shape, which usually puts the respray part of a makeover in the £1,800 to £3,500 range, with worktops, handles and splashback priced on top in the same quote. The 1,340 or so terraced homes tend to have smaller galley kitchens nearer the £1,500 starting price.
Who lives here, and what that changes
78% of homes are owner-occupied, about 4,620 households, above the 63% average across the towns we cover; owners planning to stay tend to treat a makeover as a long-term choice, and the 5-year written guarantee covers peeling, flaking and adhesion failure caused by our workmanship.
What we check first in a Anlaby kitchen
- 1919 to 1939 properties: 28% (about 1,800), the 6th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; kitchens enlarged in stages often mix materials, so we check that every unit takes the same primer.
- 1945 to 1972 properties: 43% (about 2,770), the 7th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; mostly later refits, so we look at the worktops and handles as closely as the doors.
- Flats: 11% (about 660), the 64th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; we plan stairs, lifts, parking and any managing agent rules.
