What prompts replacement kitchen doors in Aberdeen?
Landlords across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire often refresh a rental kitchen between tenancies with new doors and drawer fronts, keeping the sound carcasses and the appliances in place.
If your Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire kitchen is older, its cabinets may be in sizes that are no longer standard, so made-to-measure doors let you keep units that are still sound. Kitchens in every part of Aberdeen are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
What does the job involve?
Your written quote lists everything included. For replacement kitchen doors, that normally means:
- New fronts fixed to integrated appliances with their door-fixing kits
- New soft-close hinges fitted and every door adjusted so the gaps run even
- Free survey visit to check the carcasses and measure every door and drawer front
- Handles or knobs drilled from a template so they sit at a consistent height
- Matching end panels, plinths, cornice and pelmet cut and fitted
- Drawer fronts fixed to existing drawer boxes, or new boxes where worn

What kind of kitchens do we fit in Aberdeen?
You will find granite tenement flats, granite villas, post-war council-built houses and farm cottages throughout Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Granite tenement flats often have a small kitchen off the hall, while villas and bungalows across Aberdeenshire tend to have a separate kitchen beside the dining room.
Tenement flats without lifts mean carrying units up common stairs, and rural farm tracks can be narrow for delivery lorries. Mains water across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft, so limescale is rarely a problem and taps, sinks and boiling water taps stay cleaner.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Aberdeen
In Scotland, replacing kitchen doors and drawer fronts counts as replacing fitments, which does not need a building warrant. A listed building may need listed building consent if original fitted joinery is being altered or removed. If plinth or cornice lighting is added at the same time, the wiring must meet the building standards and BS 7671, so ask for the right electrical certificate. Nothing else about a door change involves building standards.
Homes in the Cairngorms National Park, listed granite buildings and conservation areas may need consent for new external vents, and tenement owners may need neighbours' agreement.
Before you book replacement kitchen doors in Aberdeen
- Count every door, drawer front, end panel and plinth before asking for prices, including integrated appliance doors and panels at the ends of runs.
- Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on an Aberdeen kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
- If the hob or sink in your Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire kitchen needs to move, plan a fuller refit rather than new doors on a layout that does not work.
- Check the carcasses first; a swollen sink base, a sagging shelf or loose hinge plates mean some units may need replacing before new doors.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Aberdeen
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Aberdeen?
For 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, budget around £940 to £2,800 including VAT in Aberdeen. That reflects typical costs in Scotland; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you cover all of Aberdeen?
Yes. We work across Aberdeen, including the AB10, AB11, AB12, AB13, AB15 and AB16 postcode districts, and nearby towns such as Stonehaven and Inverurie. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.
What if some of my kitchen units are water damaged?
Damaged units are replaced before the new doors go on, because swollen chipboard does not recover. The sink base is the usual problem, from slow leaks at the trap or tap, followed by units beside the dishwasher. We check every carcass at the survey, look for the cause of any leak, and price replacement units as a separate line so you can see the cost clearly.
Can new doors be fitted to my existing kitchen units?
Usually, yes, as long as the carcasses are sound. We measure every door and drawer front at the survey and check the hinge positions, because sizes vary between makers and older kitchens often use sizes that are no longer standard. Doors are then made to measure or matched to your units, drilled for new hinges and hung so the gaps line up across each run.
Are new hinges and handles fitted with the doors?
Yes, normally. Old hinges are often worn or set for the old doors, so new soft-close hinges are fitted and adjusted so the doors close quietly and the gaps run even. Handles are drilled from a template so every one sits at the same height and distance from the edge. If you would like to reuse your existing handles, the new doors are drilled to suit them.
