Kitchen wrapping in Royston. A new-looking kitchen without a new kitchen.
Cabinet doors, drawer fronts, end panels and worktops resurfaced in professional architectural film. Done in one to three days with no strip-out, for homes in Royston and the villages around it. Royston is on the Hertfordshire border, and we cover the town and the villages between there and Cambridge.
Royston sits on the Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire border, with period cottages, Victorian terraces, 1960s to 1990s estates and a large commuter population. The kitchens are often sound but dated, and a replacement means weeks of disruption for people with busy lives. We wrap the existing doors, drawer fronts and panels in architectural film, usually in one to three days, with the kitchen still usable throughout.

Wrap or replace?
Wrapping or replacing your kitchen in Royston?
Choosing between wrapping and replacing comes down to the condition of what you already have. Sound units with a dated, scuffed or wrong-coloured finish suit wrapping. Failing units or a layout you want to change suit replacement. Here is a straight comparison for a Royston kitchen.

Wrapping is not right for doors that are swollen, water-damaged or coming apart, because film needs a sound surface to bond to. We say so before quoting. If you are unsure, send photos of a few doors and the worst areas.
The films we use, and the finishes you can choose.
Every kitchen we wrap uses commercial-grade film, chosen from 3M DI-NOC, LX Hausys BENIF, Cover Styl and Metamark MiA depending on the finish you want and how hard the kitchen works. To compare options, use the films and finishes page and the digital swatch books. For background on the material itself, see architectural film.
Plain colours
Matt, satin and gloss in whites, greys, greens, blues and darker tones, for cupboards, islands and end panels.
Wood grain
Oak, walnut and butchers-block styles for doors, worktops and open shelving.
Stone and marble
Marble and stone effects for worktops, splashbacks and islands. Fire-rated options are available where they are needed, see our specification guide.
Working in Royston
How a kitchen wrap runs in Royston.
Royston has many busy households with people commuting to Cambridge and London, so we plan around your week as much as we can. Because the kitchen stays usable and there is no strip-out, there is no need to take time off or move out. Smaller period kitchens are measured door by door, and larger estate kitchens are priced from photos and confirmed in a fixed quote within 24 hours. If you are in Melbourn, Meldreth or Bassingbourn, the process is the same. Samples are posted before you commit, and the warranty is confirmed in writing.

Installation
A date is booked, the work is done, and the warranty is confirmed in writing.

Worth knowing
What to know before you book.
Condition matters. A wrap needs a solid door underneath. If a door is swollen or flaking, we will recommend replacing it instead of wrapping over the problem.
Worktop honesty. Worktops can be wrapped, though areas beside a hob or constantly wet need extra care. We will tell you straight if it will not suit your kitchen.
Finishing detail. We wrap the edges around to the back and cut handle holes cleanly, because the edges are where cheap wraps start to lift.
Written guarantee. A 10-year installation warranty is confirmed in writing, and your quote names the film and its manufacturer warranty.
