Replacement kitchen doors in Bridgwater

Why replacement kitchen doors for a Bridgwater home?

If you have bought a Bridgwater home where the kitchen layout works but the colour does not, new doors and handles can change the look in a day or two.

If your Somerset 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. Our Somerset coverage reaches every part of Bridgwater (TA6) and out towards Burnham-on-Sea.

Local homes and their kitchens

The housing mix across Somerset includes Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, stone cottages and post-war estate houses, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Georgian townhouses in Bath often have kitchens at lower-ground level or in flats on upper floors, while Victorian terraces in Taunton and Yeovil tend to have a narrow back galley.

Steep streets and controlled parking in Bath, upper-floor flats without lifts and narrow village lanes can each make delivering worktops slower. Somerset's mains water is mostly hard, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common, and a filter or softener can help keep them working well.

Regulations for kitchen work in Bridgwater

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.

Bath is a World Heritage city with many listed buildings, and homes in Exmoor National Park or conservation areas may need consent for new vents or internal changes.

Tips before you start

Open the sink cupboard in your Bridgwater kitchen and press the base; soft or swollen board means that unit needs replacing before new doors.
If you let out a Bridgwater property, new doors can often be fitted between tenancies in a day or two once they have been delivered.
Choose handles after the doors, holding samples against the new colour in your Bridgwater kitchen's daylight before anything is drilled.
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 Bridgwater

How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Bridgwater?

For 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, budget around £1,000 to £3,100 including VAT in Bridgwater. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.

Which parts of Bridgwater do you work in?

All of them. Our Somerset coverage takes in the whole of Bridgwater, including the TA6 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Burnham-on-Sea. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

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.

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.
