What a Makeover Changes, and What Stays
| Part of the kitchen | What we do | Time and price |
|---|---|---|

| Worktops | Spray granite over existing tops | One day, then 24-hour cure |
| Tiles and splashback | Sprayed to suit the scheme | Priced after the survey |
| Handles and hardware | Swapped while doors are off | Priced after the survey |
| Walls, ceiling and woodwork | Decorated last (interior spraying in Norton-on-Derwent) | Priced after the survey |

In Norton-on-Derwent, with 26% of properties from 1973 to 1999 and 20% from 1945 to 1972, the condition of the doors is the first thing to ask about, because lifting vinyl wrap is common on kitchens of that generation and has to come off before spraying.
Worktops are done with our spray granite finish in Norton-on-Derwent, 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 1,950 semi-detached homes here (38%), 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
46% of properties here were built after 1972, about 2,520, and the laminate worktops typical of kitchens from those decades 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 Norton-on-Derwent, where 20% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 26% 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 the 1,420 or so Norton-on-Derwent homes built from 1973 to 1999, formerly glossy wrapped doors are often resprayed in satin, which shows fingerprints and small surface marks less than gloss does.
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 44 miles, about 1 hour 1 minutes by road from Leeds, we plan a Norton-on-Derwent 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 Norton-on-Derwent homes means for a makeover
26% of the 5,490 properties around Norton-on-Derwent centre counted by the VOA were built between 1973 and 1999, above the 19% average across the towns we cover. Kitchens fitted in those 1,420 or so homes, and many of the refits since, used vinyl-wrapped doors, and wrap that is lifting by the oven or kettle has to come off before spraying, so we check every door for it at the survey. The next largest group, 22% or about 1,220 properties, dates from before 1919, so we also expect some older rooms with uneven walls behind the units. 20% of properties, about 1,100, are post-2000, so there is also a share of newer kitchens whose laminate tops suit spray granite.
Room size, islands and scope in Norton-on-Derwent
Semi-detached houses are the biggest group at 38%, about 1,950 households, with 24% terraced and 21% detached. A typical kitchen in those 1,950 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 1,230 or so terraced homes tend to have smaller galley kitchens nearer the £1,500 starting price.
Who lives here, and what that changes
58% of homes are owner-occupied, about 2,970 households, close to 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.

With 26% of properties here, about 1,420, built from 1973 to 1999, the laminate worktops of that era are often the first extra worth pricing.
