What kind of kitchens do we fit in Clevedon?
Typical homes in this part of Somerset include Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, stone cottages and post-war estate houses. 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.
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. Steep streets and controlled parking in Bath, upper-floor flats without lifts and narrow village lanes can each make delivering worktops slower.
Building regulations, electrics and gas in Clevedon
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.
Getting the most from your replacement kitchen doors
- Allow for delivery time on made-to-measure doors; your kitchen stays usable while you wait, as nothing comes off until they arrive.
- If you let out a Clevedon 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.
- Remember the extras: end panels, plinths, cornice, pelmet and integrated appliance doors all need to match the new fronts.
Questions about replacement kitchen doors in Clevedon
How much do replacement kitchen doors cost in Clevedon?
For 15 to 20 doors and drawer fronts, supplied and fitted, budget around £1,000 to £3,100 including VAT in Clevedon. That reflects typical costs in the South West; we confirm the actual figure in writing once we have measured up.
Do you work near Clevedon as well?
Yes. As well as Clevedon itself, we cover the rest of Somerset and nearby towns such as Nailsea and Portishead. The process is the same wherever the kitchen is.
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.
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.
