A detailed look at the Kitchen Makeovers Franchise franchise opportunity, what's involved and what makes it stand out.
Kitchens are the heart of the home, but full kitchen replacements can cost tens of thousands of pounds and weeks of disruption. The Kitchen Makeovers Franchise has built its entire business model around offering homeowners a smarter, more affordable alternative: refreshing the doors, worktops, handles and accessories of an existing kitchen for a fraction of the price of a full refit. With most jobs completed in just two to three days, this is a service that genuinely solves a problem for cost-conscious homeowners.
Founded in 2018, the brand has grown rapidly into one of the most exciting home improvement franchises around, with 29 franchisees now operating throughout the country. With more than 800 colour and style combinations, a six-year guarantee on doors and an average customer review score of 4.9 out of 5 on Trustist, Kitchen Makeovers has firmly established itself as a trusted name in affordable kitchen transformations.
This is a management franchise - you do not need any practical kitchen fitting experience because you will not be carrying out the installations yourself. Your role is to meet customers, provide quotes, oversee fittings carried out by your team and ensure every job runs smoothly from start to finish. The brand provides comprehensive training in kitchen jargon, products and systems so you can speak to clients with confidence from day one.

According to the Federation of Master Builders, average spending on home renovation has risen sharply in recent years, with kitchens consistently ranking among the most popular projects. As budgets tighten, demand for cost-effective alternatives to full kitchen replacements has surged, putting the Kitchen Makeovers Franchise in an ideal position to capture a growing share of this market.
New franchisees attend a three-day comprehensive training programme at the head office in Harpenden covering every aspect of running the business. No kitchen, design or installation experience is required - the brand trains you in everything from kitchen jargon and products to quoting, sales and customer service.
Existing franchisees come from a wide range of backgrounds including former landscape gardeners, sales professionals, corporate managers and entrepreneurs. The streamlined systems and high-quality products are regularly singled out as key reasons for joining.
The Kitchen Makeovers Franchise suits people who enjoy meeting customers, have an eye for detail and are confident managing small teams of fitters. No kitchen, design or installation experience is required because the brand's training covers everything. The role is management-focused, making it ideal for career changers from corporate, sales or operational backgrounds who want to build something of their own.
If you are looking for a low-cost, high-potential management franchise in a sector with growing demand, the Kitchen Makeovers Franchise is well worth exploring.

Kitchen Makeovers was founded in 2018 in Hertfordshire by Will Frankling and business partner Matt Oakley, who spotted that homeowners increasingly wanted the look of a new kitchen without the cost or upheaval of a full refit. The pair built the proposition around replacing the visible elements (doors, drawer fronts, end panels, plinths, handles, worktops and appliances) while reusing the existing carcasses underneath. After proving the model at the original Harpenden showroom, the founders began franchising the system and the network has since expanded steadily across England, Wales and the Home Counties commuter belt.
“"The franchise industry sees an upturn in interest during a tough economic climate where those with an entrepreneurial spirit turn to becoming their own boss for financial security." Will Frankling, Co-founder & CEO, Kitchen Makeovers”
One of the strongest pulls for new franchisees is that lead generation is run centrally rather than left to the individual operator. The head office team manages digital advertising, the national website, local landing pages for each branch and aggregated review collection on Trustist (the source of the 4.9 out of 5 score quoted across the network). Franchisees receive customer enquiries directly into their territory and focus their own energy on the survey, design and quoting stages where conversion is highest.
Because installations are handled by a small fitting team rather than the franchisee personally, the weekly rhythm is closer to a management consultancy than a trade business. Most operators spend the majority of their hours in front of customers and on the phone, with admin batched into shorter blocks.
The UK home improvement market sits at the heart of one of the most resilient consumer segments going. The 2025 UK Houzz and Home Report found the median spend on home renovations rose to over £21,000, with kitchens consistently named the single most-renovated room. As budgets have come under pressure, a clear share of that demand has shifted away from full rip-and-replace projects and toward smarter, partial refreshes. That is precisely the gap the Kitchen Makeovers proposition is built for, and it is a major reason why the network has continued to add new franchisees through both buoyant and tighter economic conditions.
The brand attracts a broad mix of new franchisees, including career changers from corporate sales, former tradespeople moving into management, and couples (such as Richard and Simone Fisher in Colchester) who want to run a family-led local business. What unites successful operators is a comfort with face-to-face customer conversations, strong follow-through on admin, and a willingness to lean on the head office systems rather than reinvent the wheel.
