What kind of kitchens do we fit in Aldershot?

In and around Aldershot, homes range across 1930s semis, Victorian and Edwardian villas, detached family houses and new-build estates. 1930s semis often have a narrow kitchen beside the dining room, while larger detached houses and Edwardian villas may have room for an island or a separate utility.

Surrey's water is hard across most of the county, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a scale-reducing filter is worth considering. Private roads, long drives and village lanes can be awkward for large lorries, while town-centre flats may need lift bookings and parking permits for delivery day.

Do you need approval for replacement kitchen doors in Aldershot?

Replacing kitchen doors needs no planning permission or Building Regulations approval in England, because nothing structural, electrical or plumbed changes. The exception is a listed building, where original fitted cupboards or joinery may need listed building consent before they are altered. If you add plinth or cornice lighting at the same time, the wiring must meet BS 7671, and a new circuit for it would be notifiable under Part P.

Listed buildings and conservation areas in older towns and villages may need consent for new vents, and flats in managed blocks usually need the freeholder's consent first.

Tips before you start

If you let out an Aldershot property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
Keep one old door until the new ones are fitted, so sizes and hinge positions can be checked if anything does not line up.
Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on an Aldershot kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
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 Aldershot

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Aldershot?

Guide prices in Aldershot are about £1,200 to £3,400 including VAT for 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.

Can you measure up in Aldershot before quoting?

Yes. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation survey visit to your home in Aldershot. We measure the room, check the walls, floor and service positions, then send an itemised written quote.

When does a new kitchen make more sense than new doors?

When the problem is more than the look. If several carcasses are swollen or broken, the layout does not work for you, or you want to move the sink, hob or appliances, new doors only cover the issue. New doors suit kitchens whose cabinets are square, dry and well fixed and whose layout still works. We will tell you at the survey which route we think makes sense.

Can I change to a completely different door style?

Usually, yes. Slab, shaker and painted doors can all go on standard carcasses if the sizes and hinge positions suit. An in-frame look is more involved, because the doors sit inside a frame built onto the front of the units, so it costs more. A true handleless kitchen uses rails built into the carcasses, so with a door change that look is imitated with edge-profiled doors instead.

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.
