A Complete New Look for Your Kitchen
A kitchen makeover in Wickersley changes the whole look of the room while keeping your units, layout, sink and appliances, from £1,500 and in 3 to 5 working days, with a 5-year written guarantee. We respray the doors, drawer fronts, frames and end panels, then add the parts you choose: spray granite over tired worktops, sprayed tiles and splashback, new handles fitted while the doors are off, an island or dresser in a contrast colour, and the walls, ceiling and woodwork decorated to finish the room, each part priced as its own line on one fixed quote.
37% of properties around Wickersley centre, about 3,070, were built from 1973 to 1999, when wrapped kitchen doors were everywhere, so we check every door for lifting wrap at the consultation and tell you there if any cannot be sprayed. The figures here cover 7,850 households in the 12 neighbourhoods nearest the centre.

In Wickersley, with 37% of properties from 1973 to 1999 and 29% 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 Wickersley, 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
With 32% of homes detached, about 2,490 households, more kitchens here than in most towns have room for an island or peninsula, and spraying it in a contrast colour, with darker base units under lighter wall units elsewhere, gives the room a focal point.
Worktops, handles and splashback as one scheme
51% of properties here were built after 1972, about 4,260, 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 Wickersley, where 29% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 37% 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 3,070 or so Wickersley 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 38 miles, about 48 minutes by road from Leeds, we plan a Wickersley 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 Wickersley homes means for a makeover
37% of the 8,330 properties around Wickersley centre counted by the VOA were built between 1973 and 1999, well above the 19% average across the towns we cover. Kitchens fitted in those 3,070 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, 29% or about 2,450 properties, dates from 1945 to 1972, most of them now on their second or third kitchen. Only 14% of properties here, about 1,180, are post-2000, so few kitchens are untouched developer originals.
Room size, islands and scope in Wickersley
Detached houses make up 32% of homes, about 2,490 households, well above the 20% average across the towns we cover. Those 2,490 or so larger houses usually mean larger kitchens, often with an island or a kitchen-diner, so there are more fronts to spray and the price tends to sit towards the top of the £1,800 to £3,500 range, or above it once worktops and handles are added. The 47% of homes that are semis, about 3,670, mostly have mid-sized L or U-shaped kitchens that fall within that range.
Who lives here, and what that changes
71% of homes are owner-occupied, about 5,580 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 Wickersley kitchen
- 1973 to 1999 properties: 37% (about 3,070), the 14th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; we check each door for lifting vinyl wrap before pricing.
- 1945 to 1972 properties: 29% (about 2,450), the 57th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; mostly later refits, so we look at the worktops and handles as closely as the doors.
- 1919 to 1939 properties: 15% (about 1,240), the 65th 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.
- Detached houses: 32% (about 2,490), the 78th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; the most likely to have an island to take a contrast colour.
- Flats: 9% (about 740), the 84th highest share of the 203 towns we cover; we plan stairs, lifts, parking and any managing agent rules.

Kitchen Makeover in Wickersley: Questions
What does a kitchen makeover in Wickersley include?
A respray of every door, drawer front, frame and end panel, plus the parts you choose: plinths, cornices and pelmets in the new colour, spray granite over the worktops, sprayed tiles and splashback, new handles, an island or dresser sprayed to match or contrast, and the walls, ceiling and woodwork decorated last, each priced as its own line on one fixed quote. With 37% of properties here, about 3,070, built from 1973 to 1999, the laminate worktops of that era are often the first extra worth pricing.
How much does a kitchen makeover cost in Wickersley?
Makeovers start from £1,500, which covers the respray of a smaller kitchen with up to 10 doors and drawer fronts, and most respray work falls between £1,800 and £3,500; worktops, tiles, handles and decorating are priced as separate lines on the same fixed written quote after a free survey, and finance may be available, subject to status. With 32% of homes here detached, about 2,490, larger kitchens with islands are common, and those tend to sit at the top of that range or above it once worktops and handles are added.
How long does a kitchen makeover take, and can we stay at home?
Most makeovers take 3 to 5 working days with no strip-out, so you stay at home, and spray granite worktops need 24 hours after coating before normal use; at 38 miles, about 48 minutes by road from our workshop, Wickersley is a planned trip for us, so the days are booked as one unbroken run and confirmed in writing.
Can you work with peeling vinyl-wrapped doors?
In most cases, yes: peeling wrap is removed first, small dents, chips and loose edges are repaired as part of the preparation, and if a door is too damaged to spray well we tell you at the survey. About 3,070 properties here (37%) date from 1973 to 1999, so wrapped doors are something we check for at every consultation.

Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Wickersley is about 38 miles by road, roughly 48 minutes away, to the south. We confirm visit dates and anything distance-related in your fixed-price quote before you commit.

All kinds. Around Wickersley centre, the most common home is a semi-detached house (47% of households, Census 2021), and 37% of properties were built between 1973 and 1999 (VOA, 2025); a kitchen makeover works in any of them, and what changes is access, room size and the materials we find.
