Wake up your kitchen

The heart of the home A kitchen is the heart of the home. Not only are so many everyday tasks carried out here but it is frequently the meeting place for family or friends to enjoy a coffee and chat. We are often so familiar with our surroundings that we may fail to notice that perhaps our kitchen is looking a little “tired” or in need of a lift. A replacement kitchen may be beyond the means of many of us, particularly in the light of the present cost of living crisis but there is an alternative. Revamp vs replacement Sussex Local recently spoke with Neil of Dream Doors at Barnham who explained that by revamping rather than replacing, a kitchen can be transformed at a fraction of the cost of a complete refurbishment. Replacement doors he said are available in a huge variety of designs and colours, both traditional and modern and can completely transform a kitchen without the waste and mess associated with a total refit. In addition, replacement worktops, sinks, taps, or lighting can further update the available space. Reuse for price & sustainability Neil told us that sustainability is at the core of his business and he actively encourages clients to reuse existing units. With finishing touches like handles and splashbacks or modified storage space, a kitchen can have that brand new feeling in as little as 2 – 3 days. Any units or worktops which have to be disposed of are dealt with in an environmentally friendly way.

No obligation advice From a complete set of new doors to a single drawer unit, the customer's choice is paramount and Neil guaranteed that clients will not be pressurised into additional expense but can always be assured of advice and support a 'phone call away.
