Kitchen Repairs in Solihull
Solihull is one of the most affluent towns in the West Midlands, with a mix of large Edwardian and Victorian properties in the town, interwar semis and bungalows, and modern executive developments.
Solihull's affluent housing stock attracts investment in premium kitchen brands — we install Mereway, Häcker, Neptune and Wren regularly in this area.
Solihull's premium property market means our fitters regularly work with high-end cabinetry from brands such as Häcker, Nobilia, and Masterclass, where precise fitting tolerances and careful appliance integration are essential to achieving the expected finish.
At the same visit we can also upgrade your drawer runners to full-extension soft-close runners, completing the premium feel across the whole kitchen.
Frequently Asked Questions
In almost all cases yes — modern soft-close hinges use the same 35mm cup hole as standard concealed hinges, making them a direct swap. The only exception is if your cabinets use a non-standard hinge system, which is rare. We will confirm compatibility with your kitchen brand before the visit.
Upgrading a full kitchen of 15–20 doors typically takes half a day. We replace every hinge and carry out a full alignment check and adjustment on each door as part of the same visit, so every door is hanging perfectly when we finish.
Yes — if you would like to source your own hinges to save cost, we are happy to fit them. We recommend Blum Clip Top Blumotion or Hettich Intermat hinges as reliable, long-lasting options available from Screwfix or Toolstation. Please confirm the overlay dimension (full, half, or inset) before purchasing.
Most customers tell us the difference is immediately noticeable and that they wished they had done it sooner. Beyond the noise reduction, soft-close hinges also extend the life of the door and cabinet face frame by eliminating the repeated impact of slamming. For a kitchen you use every day, the upgrade is very cost-effective.
