Replacement kitchen doors in Antrim

Why do people in Antrim choose replacement kitchen doors?

If your County Antrim 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.

If your County Antrim kitchen has worktops you still like but dated doors, new fronts in a different style or colour let you keep the surfaces and change the rest. Kitchens in every part of Antrim are covered, and the survey visit is free wherever you are in County Antrim.

House types around Antrim and what they mean for a kitchen

Typical homes in this part of County Antrim include red-brick terraces, Victorian villas, post-war estate houses and rural bungalows. Red-brick terraces in Belfast often have a narrow kitchen in the return, while estate houses and rural bungalows tend to have a separate kitchen with room for a table.

Terraced streets with entries at the back, city flats with booked lifts and country lanes can each affect deliveries, so the route for worktops is checked at the survey. Mains water across most of County Antrim is soft, so limescale is less of a problem and taps and boiling water taps tend to stay cleaner.

Do you need approval for replacement kitchen doors in Antrim?

In Northern Ireland, new kitchen doors need no planning permission and no building control application. If the house is listed, check before altering any original fitted joinery, as listed building consent may be needed. Lighting added to plinths or cornice should be installed and tested to BS 7671 and certified, even though there is no notification scheme for domestic electrical work. The doors, panels and handles themselves need no paperwork.

Listed buildings and conservation areas in older parts of Belfast and the county towns may need consent for new vents, and apartment owners usually need management consent.

Tips before you start

Open the sink cupboard in your Antrim kitchen and press the base; soft or swollen board means that unit needs replacing before new doors.
Keep one old door until the new ones are fitted, so sizes and hinge positions can be checked if anything does not line up.
Count every door, drawer front, end panel and plinth before asking for prices, including integrated appliance doors and panels at the ends of runs.
Old drawer boxes may not take new fronts neatly; worn runners or unusual fixings sometimes make new drawer boxes worth adding.

Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Antrim

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Antrim?

Guide prices in Antrim are about £880 to £2,600 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.

Do you work near Antrim as well?

Yes. As well as Antrim itself, we cover the rest of County Antrim and nearby towns such as Ballymena and Newtownabbey. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.

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.

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.

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.
