Local homes and their kitchens

In and around Banbridge, homes range across Victorian seaside villas, red-brick terraces, rural bungalows and new-build estates. Victorian villas in the seaside towns often have a separate kitchen and old scullery, while newer estate houses tend to have an open-plan kitchen-diner.

Country lanes in the Mournes and on the Ards Peninsula can be narrow for lorries, and seaside flats may have no lift, so access is checked early. Most of County Down has soft mains water, so limescale is less of a concern and taps, sinks and boiling water taps stay cleaner.

Regulations for kitchen work in Banbridge

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.

Many older towns and villages in County Down have conservation areas or listed buildings, where a new external vent or changes to historic features may need consent.

Worth knowing before the fit

Open the sink cupboard in your Banbridge kitchen and press the base; soft or swollen board means that unit needs replacing before new doors.
If you let out a Banbridge property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
Ask whether the cornice and pelmet will be replaced too, as old ones left on a Banbridge kitchen with new doors often show a colour mismatch.
If the worktops are also worn, consider replacing them in the same visit rather than fitting new doors beside tired surfaces.

Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Banbridge

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Banbridge?

Which parts of Banbridge do you work in?

All of them. Our County Down coverage takes in the whole of Banbridge, including the BT32 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Craigavon. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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 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.

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.
